The evolution of electronic music.

The gathering by Infected mushroom was the first electronic album I owned
It is now 2013 and I spent my Thursday listening to knife party and skrillex. It blows my mind how much the sound of electronic music has developed and branched out since I got into the genre. Knife party would have melted my face in the 90's. This isn't really a point or endorsement here, I am just appreciating how electronic music seems to be getting better and better with time. I am not really comparing knife party to infected, just giving a perspective. Every genre has gotten better. Trance is better, electro is better, house is better...

It certainly has changed. This is off the first album I ever owned and bought it on tape, lol, had to fast forward and rewind to get to songs you wanted to hear.

I think the first electronic I ever heard was either Tangerine Dream or Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. I was pretty young. Oh yeah, and also Pink Floyd, ELP, and Yes. All 5 bands I heard as a kid because my mom has good taste 
Now it's stuff like Shpongle, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, The Knife, Autechre....basically the shitty label "IDM" is what I enjoy. Does anyone have some other groups like the ones mentioned? I don't care for skrillex/dubstep.
Actually I don't even know if Tubular Bells qualifies as electronic......oops. It's a lovely album though.

Carbon based lifeforms are similar. Blackmill is a bit more recent.
