Autechre Classic Electronic / Synthesizer Music lovers

This is pretty sweet, certainly foreshadows OPN

that video is insanely good, I just saw it for the first time on the Ohm gurus of early electronic music compilation bonus DVD. WTF is that computer screen??

if you want to hear basically the entire foundation for OPN listen to the Risky Business soundtrack by Tangerine Dream

I'm very surprised Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan have not been mentioned.

Weeeell I would have done, but I assumed this thread was focusing on music made with a 'synthesizer', in the modern sense of the word (ie, something commercially available, post-Bob Moog 1964). If we're including oscillators and tape manipulations and such then I would have posted lots of this stuff by now.

The Popular Electronics boxset is excellent, I'd also recommend:

Tod Dockstader is one of my favourite artists of that era. After taking a break from his 'organized sound' style in the 60s, he released a couple of library LPs of synthesizer music for Boosey & Hawkes in 1979/81, respectively. Creel Pone has reissued them on CD, and they are pretty damn good. Unfortunately, no youtube, the best I can do is the clips found here

His recent output is fantastic too, but not relevant to this thread as it's all post 1983. But check out the Aerial CDs.

Also, I don't think anyone's mentioned Fabio Frizzi yet, who is a favourite of mine.

Xenakis, Mycenae Alpha, UPIC, 1978

that was effing amazing. Xenakis was easily 30 years ahead of his time. Anymore later period Xenakis stuff? i'm mostly familiar with his stuff before 1975

Him and David Tudor are hard to pin down exactly how many different performed/recorded/published works of theirs are available. about 50% of their CD/vinyl discography have repeated/reissued content

edit: what i mean by that is a place like Discogs is not very helpful to navigate through all of it, and the wikipedia page is usually the opposite problem where they only list either the discography or every written work. What i'm looking for kind of a 'listening guide' to either artist by someone who is a big fan.

it's obviously art-damaged to me now... but randomly hearing the whole of second annual report on the radio in the middle of the night when i was 15 really unnerved me

thats very understandable

it was a very good contribution, and now that Awepittance has pointed out my inability to read thread titles correctly, here's some Jean-Claude Eloy to make up for it (droney musique concrete from '79):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QAsCaX_0lE

I'd also strongly recommend Slava Ranko's 1981 LP 'Arctic Hysteria' (samples here)

Roedelius - Von Ferne Her (1981)

Roedelius - Von Fliegen (1981)

Harold Grosskopf - Emphasis (1979)

Tangerine Dream - Rubycon part 1 (1975)

Jerry Goldsmith - Rec room (1981)

Li De La Russe - Quest Fast (1972)

Giorgio Moroder - Utopia (1977)

Yellow Magic Orchestra - Behind The Mask (1979)

Synergy - Phobos And Deimos Go To Mars (parts I & II) (1978)

Alan Hackshaw & Brian Bennett - Driving Force (1974)

Goblin - La Caccia (1978)

Harold Faltermeyer - Fletch Theme (1985)

V.D.B. Joel - San Diego Industry (1988)

Severed Heads - All Saints Day (1989)

Tom Ellard - Cheesecake 3 (1982)

V.D.B. Joel - Space Line (1987) (this is where Joel invents the afx SAW 1 sound)

Joel Van Droogen Broeck - Robot Tiger (1987) (again this is where Rustie got his influence from)

Skinny Puppy - Splasher (1984)

Joel Van Droogen Broeck - Drum Program (1987) (joel invents minimal techno here the same year DJ Pierre puts out acid trax)

John Carpenter - The President Is Gone (1981)

Tangerine Dream - Love on a Real Train (1984)

Frank Zappa - Night School (1986)

Alan Silvestri - Elaine (1984)

Trevor Jones - Into The Labyrinth (1986)

Giorgio Moroder - Fantasia (1984)

Jerry Goldsmith - Night Work (Main Title) (1989)

yep yep yep, nother wicked mix awepittance, great thread, loved all the contributions, LEARNT ALOT GUYS.

What's the sweet track at 20 mins? YMO?

Finishing this up now, another excellent mix!

Just discovered this 1979 track by Vangelis, very reminiscent of some of Blade Runner OST but more smoked out.

One of the most enjoyable ways to spend 12 minutes I can think of.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGl3041zhAU

That is a quality tune right there. Gonna have to check out this album when I get home.

Reve is a gorgeous track! Listening to Blade Runner now, really hard to beat on good speakers.

I haven't stopped listening to that mix for a couple of days now. Synergy and V.D.B. Joel are a discovery and a half for me. Thanks!
