I'm listening, but I'm not getting it

Listening to what? Saying you're listening to electronic is almost as broad of a statement as "I'm listening to non-electronic music."

I'm sure many of us could make personal recommendations.

I hear the beat of the universe. It takes me to the place where the archaic energy of the earth meets with the present moment then it takes me along with it through the eternal moment of time and into the blissful void of oneness. The reason why there are so many types of music is because there are so many different types of people. Not just electronic music does this, all music does it. This is the purpose of music. Find the genre of music that takes you to this special place and you are set. Dancing and creating music enhance the effects of music a lot. If electronic music doesen't do it for you, find the style that does. :sun:

Exactly.  What are you listening to?  Like all genres, there is good and bad music.  Name the type of music you like and you'll definitely get some good answers.

think about a drum circle. its a buncha people making beats that come together on the one.
tekno is the same idea, if you can get past the idea that music has to come from a string or such vibration tool a huge world of music will open up to you. its not all 4/4, its not all fluffy, its as wide and open as your mind will allow.

I would have to agree that I just like the tempo style and rhythm speed.

However a very easy thing to love is the textures in the music. The instruments that don't really exist outside of the electronic world can sound very memorable in the hands of the right artist. Plus, when they get a great harmony going on a breakdown, it's just hard not to enjoy for me. It's just generally a positive sound.

i just find that electronical music doesnt reach the musical quality or vastness in style and depth then music made by actual instruments. I've really just heard a bunch of Shpongle albums a few times while tripping that my friends are into.

Generally, you're correct (sorry geeks and dance freaks), although some of the most unique and creative music out there is electronical. Case in point, check out Aphex Twin: "Come To Daddy".

Definitely give Autechre - LP5 a listen, sober or tripping. If you don't hear/see the pure mind-blowing genius of it sober, then give it a listen whilst tripping. If you don't see anything in electronic music after hearing LP5 tripping...no further comment.

My favorite album of ALL time.

How hard were you tripping and on what, Freeker? Shpongle is amazing while tripping. Nothing like it.

It's all abour finding a genre that you like. I can't really listen to much trance, but I love IDM like Autechre, BoC, and Casino vs. Japan.

Any type of psy-trance is a wave. It is not music for the heart, it is music for your neurotransmitters, for your luminous fibers, music for your brain. I swear every time I hear psy-trance anywhere, it just locks me in. I just want to clear some ground and start dancing.

It's like some subconscious hypnotic reaction. Every time I hear trance - bam! I transcend like 5 consciousness levels.

Psy-trance parties are great too. You dont have to go on any drug at all, but just feed off of the energy of power in the air and surf the waves of sound.

I hate when people say that. What if a person doesnt trip often, but wants to expand their mind?

Yes, this music is great to listen after you've already tripped several times, but it is also awesome to listen to stoned, or sober. Personally, I listen to it sober all the time.

The thing with tripping and electronic music, is that most of us are too dense to realize that there's a whole another world out there that we're too dumb too see. So we need something to take us by our brain, grip it out of our skulls, and toss it in the realms of the universe for a few hours. Only then, can you sit there, dumbfounded, wondering what the fuck you were thinking to not do this before.

But the Teonanactl or Mescalito, or DMT elves can only teach you so much, and they retaliate if you bother them too much. If you think that only whilst tripping can you achieve that transcedental mentality - you're only fooling yourself into a hadicap.

Hence the music is our ally to transcend to a higher plane.

Get it?

Obviously you haven't heard enough electronic if you think it can't have the depth of an acoustic instrument. Check out some squarepusher and tell me about depth. Or prefuse 73, or aphex twin, boards of canada, or the orb, telefon tel aviv, mum, Autechre, boom bip, venetian snares, gasman, the black dog, four tet, xela, apparat, isolee, cassetteboy, Daedalus, Secret Mum, aoki takamasa, qunintron and miss pussycat ... I could go on..., what I just listed is some of the most indepth and technically complex, not to mention often virtuoso electronic.


Not to mention, electronic isnt a fucking genre.. Theres so many different types of electronic, which all are completely unqiue. referring to this type of music as electronic and saying all youve heard is a few shpongle tracks doesnt improve your credibility when it comes to discussing music made by 'electricity'.


its ok, you just havent heard enough. you're acting very ignorant though, when it comes to music. shpongle is only good for trips in my opinion.. they make good electronic, but compared to squarepusher or autechre or daedalus, it requires half as much skill and musical knowlegdge.

you don't know anything about depth yet.. give a listen to some of the stuff I listed

try faithless, chemical brothers, and maybe nine inch nails, all good forms of electronic music i think.

Olso Ive heard an actual techno band that plays with real instruments, but I forget the name of their band.

I listen to electronic music all the time.  If I have the option of what music is being played, electronic music will be played.  I don't trip that often anymore, so therefore *gasp* I listen to it not under the influence of anything. 

I asked that quetion because I've tripped with many people who aren't into electronic music at all and I persuaded them to let me put on Shpongle.  The next day, they all said how incredible it was and went out to purchase it.  So for someone to say they didn't dig Shpongle while tripping, makes me wonder what else was going on during the trip.

Thanks for playing.
