Exploring Electronics

In Colour is as flamboyant and atmospheric as the album title suggests. It is that record you put on when everything seems generic and dull in life and you're still looking for something more to explore.

Moon Safari is gentle and sometimes induced with sensual electronics to complement the whole mood.

This is some otherworldly modern electronic jazz that really takes you far way into the future. For its complexity, Cosmogramma is that record where you get a lot of little nuances in every few listens.

What sets apart LCD Soundsystem from most electronic artists is their knack at building and layering up tracks combined with James Murphy's introspective lyricism. All in all, you have Sound of Silver, which for me truly mirrors the height and popularity of electronic music of the 2000s era, yet still elegant in its true form.

This feels like the closest I could get to a virtual nightclub experience for how dazzling and vibrant and enthusiastic the record is. This really gets you moving every time the beat drops. What an absolute gem!

Untrue is subtly deep and drowned with ethereal qualities that I sometimes felt scared of its ominous vibes it displayed all throughout the more you dive through it.

Selected Ambient Works, Volume II is very much ethereal and distant in its own direction, one that features the diversity of instruments and electronic samples, but with distinct strange feels to it.

This self-titled record is a much more complex listen as I thought it would be, combining post-dubstep and electro-soul to build a unique album experience.

One of their well-known records, Trans-Europe Express is a welcoming and mesmerizing journey into the Metropolis which is rich in analogs and synthesizers.

I think Skrillex had finally discovered the fire after his years of hiatus as a well-renowned dubstep artist. Quest For Fire is nothing like I've ever heard before fresh and not over-dramatic sounds from the genre.

As much as I love his previous experimental stuffs, I think Playing Robots Into Heaven captures the right amount of balance for James Blake, providing a much wider range of sounds from EDM, dubstep, 2-step garage, future garage, to ambient.

The visionary of Daniel Lopatin went as far as composing a piece from various sample scraps and looping it into the development of Replica, a reimagined version of staring straight into its deathless gaze.

Characterized by grimy basslines and hypnotic beat fusions in an extremely confined atmosphere are what makes Massive Attack's Mezzanine a stupefyingly trippy experience. One could be provoked into a fit of rage as it slowly grapples you with its dark magic encircling around these gritty instrumentals and sensual lyricism.

These are not some organic mixtures of various samples all compiled to tracks, this is a recurring dream that keeps you float along the waves happily at night. And you truly wish that it would never end, not until you pull yourself back into reality again.

This really happened, all the while it left me mesmerized and overwhelmed by its incredible sound layering and expansive production from front to back. This Is Happening could have been the culmination of LCD Soundsytem's impressive Indietronica journey featuring the best of Murphy's projection of musical ideas.

This self-titled album is James Murphy and the company's impressive presentation of encompassing various techniques, with crisp, deliberate layerings and versatile instrumentations that almost each tracks acted like a nonstop clubhouse.

Much like Cross, Hyperdrama hangs onto the futuristic momentum of their artistic strengths.

Therapeutically made electronic music album, and to think that it isn't purely ambient one...

Knowing that SOPHIE made it all from scratch - the synths, the texture, the layers, the raw vocals - OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES appear to me both natural and artificial at the same time.

Album cover goes f-ing hard as the sounds, waves crumbling like damnnnn

This is that organic electronic album, man! There's so many instrumentals that are really varied and original. It has life in it, and it sprouted into being with Nurture!

YEPPPP they birthed techno, what could have been said more?

Some French electronic house tracks that pummelled me down, and left me gasping for breath. Reaching out from the Cross monolith to provide me one, I still hope...

Compiled IDM tracks sounding like a pipe tube has been inserted to the aux cord that goes straight to the ears

Dummy had touched my body delicately in different places as it is seductive and direct. The electronic sounds are hypnotic and reverberating that I felt it itching through my bones.

Categorizing this as electronic as it sounded ahead of its counterparts at the time

Close experience for an actual dubstep concert within your bedroom

Compositions to reminisce the good and the bad times while gazing through the window

Sounding like a young GY!BE traverses into the realm of gravedigging records

The textbook example of swag in electronic music, playing Crystal Castles would make you an instant DJ in the party

This might get you stuck in the past — a deep one that makes you forget the moment. Also, satanic as heck...

All I'm saying is that if you're trying to be chill and nonchalant, and feeling like you're above everyone else, then maybe this mood is definitely for you

Its downtempo walks and talks like an intergalactic music machine that has just spawned out of nowhere.
