Comment:

I have issues with electronic music. I love it, but the conventional stuff you hear everywhere both bores and annoys me. I tried to make a compilation of the more organic and creative electronic music in my collection. This was also a roadtrip soundtrack. This weekend, my friends and I made a trek to NYC to see the Sonic Youth perfomance in Central Park. Since it was a free show and we woke up very hungover, we didn't get to 'see' SY, but we could hear 'em quite well! Anyway, this cd promotes driving at excessive speeds and urban debauchery, cheers!

Hmmmm...I never thought of "Mutherfuker" as an electronic song. I maybe would have included "This Is My Crew."

beck's music is very heavily laden with electronics. the vox on 'mf' are entirely distorted and electronicly manipulated. technically none of these songs are wholly electronic...track 14 is just 2 turntables and a mixer, it barely even qualifies as a legitimate song. would one consider sonic youth or tortoise to be electric bands. when jim o'rourke plays guitar, he runs it through a G4 Titanium or will simply tweek the sounds directly from the computer. is sonic youth now an electro band? tortoise play acoustic instruments with enough effects and distortion that it becomes electro...my point being technology has made all musicians into electronic artists, "mf" may not be the most noted or obvious of beck's electo works, but it still fits my defination of the category.

this might take the theme too far, but there's a song by leather strip, 'kill a raver...' would be amusing! i love that curve song.
