Best artist Electronic of all time secondo DeBaser.

❝ Do not watch it... Do not stare into its eyes... Do not dare to cast your gaze upon it... It wants to devour your soul, and it wants it now.

❝ Stop making that big face!

❝ it’s probably good (for the album), but it actually makes me think I’m pretty shit

❝ A seminal work, (such as Radiohead's "Kid A," for instance) but above all, of great quality.

❝ 1997, Warp Records: Rob Brown and Sean Booth release their absolute masterpiece, a concentrate of creativity and experimentation like never heard before within the then-hot IDM phenomenon.

❝ “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”, and the impression is that Autechre, notwithstanding two or three tracks, have produced a good album, simple and listenable as hasn't happened for a decade.

❝ Vangelis is the prototype of a complete musical genius: an eclectic composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and successful author.

❝ Great film, splendid soundtrack.

❝ This is a peculiar album in Vangelis's discography: curiously released on Deutsche Grammophon, one of the world's most prestigious classical music labels.

❝ An IDM with a tropical scent that splashes and contorts in psychedelic pools with blurred edges.

❝ And it is only the beginning of the Future Sound of London.

❝ Fabulous notes of piano, pulsating bass, and mystical warblings that weave into a colorful vortex.

❝ The release of Dialogue (1998) was a revelation, Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet was twenty-one, immediately considered a genius, and today he is defined as the "father" of the glitch or folktronica genre.

❝ The beauty of this circular electronic music is that it lets go.

❝ Synthesis is the key word.

❝ "We do not belong to anyone, we are a well-organized form of anarchy, like music, after all, a well-organized form of noise" (Ralf Hutter).

❝ Autobahn is a masterpiece, pure as spring water.

❝ The Fat of the Land by Prodigy falls into this second category.

❝ Because... without 'Music For The Jilted Generation', we wouldn't have listened to any of what we hear today.

❝ The song is a swarm of shards to the face, with that violent and deep beat accompanied by the Rave sound that must be blasted, which finds repose in the traditional Indian singing of Shahin Badar's angelic voice.

❝ And then glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch and more glitch.

❝ Listening to Unieqav, it feels as though the artist has reached a milestone, successfully reconciling the sounds of "errors" with a musical form close to techno and IDM.

❝ Brute sampling and distortion à gogo, jagged rhythms, sound bombardments: electric more than electronic music.

❝ “Vakio” thus concedes nothing: it showcases a series of sound objects, like in a kind of acoustic catalog, leaving it to the listener to choose or discard.

❝ Let’s be clear: there is no melody, “Gravitoni” is a cerebral album, cold, unfriendly, that leaves very little room for catchiness,

❝ Boards Of Canada are a mystery.

❝ It is a nocturnal journey within oneself and simultaneously through thirty years of avant-garde electronics.

❝ The rest is almost unlistenable.

❝ This is love, I admit it.

❝ An album composed and played in a state of grace.

❝ Reel To Real is the DNA of Simple Minds.

❝ A journey lasting 9 minutes and 21 seconds.

❝ And well, the DJ set is hard.

❝ This is Surrender.

❝ Once again Gescom proves to be synonymous with Quality.

❝ If "Key Nell" was labeled as a perfect release, on "Keynell Remixes" we are beyond perfection.

❝ Beware of urban legends and gigantic hype, the true genius of Autechre resides right here.

❝ Infected Mushroom push the boundaries even further.

❝ "It's about time we infected them"

❝ The premonitions of "Black Shawarma" were correct: the duo/no-longer-a-duo has now abandoned the old psy-trance that made them known throughout the first decade of the '00s, instead dedicating themselves to a Dubstep combined with Jumpstile rhythms & similar.

❝ “I often dream of it: a younger version of myself, standing at the bottom of the ocean;

with arms up, mouth open, piercing eyes, I can't see, I can't breathe,

still as a rock in a water temple.”

❝ “‘Fahrenheit Fair Enough’ undoubtedly deserves a spot on the podium among the most interesting albums of 2001, despite bringing nothing new to electronic music (in the broadest sense of the term), but ‘only’ a collage of everything that the two eclectic (no other adjective fits better) artists thought of at the time.”

❝ “This album marks a definite change of direction for the New Orleans duo, Joshua Eustis and Charles Cooper, who from experimental electronics à la Aphex Twin … move towards refined electronic rhythms.”

❝ Substrata is indeed one of those works for which the definition "classic" can truly be used liberally, an immersive experience able to suspend time and space, almost comparable to a dream.

❝ Not exactly music from this world.

❝ Dropsonde: official candidate for best electronic album of 2006.

❝ listening to Richie Hawtin at low volume is like not listening to him at all.

❝ Experienced listeners immediately realized it's a single piece in ten movements, with a total length of 75 minutes.

❝ Sheet One came to grab the entire acid community by the collar and take it to an underground world, where pitch-darkness reigns, and the light at the end of the tunnel is a strobe.

❝ this isn’t music to listen to in front of the computer, these are soundtracks for everyday life.

❝ This is a jazz album, period.

❝ How can you not love him?

❝ Ritual Spirit is not an album, but rather an EP of four tracks, seventeen minutes long.

❝ In a single word Trip hop, a genre that brings together hip hop with the idea of a mental journey, waves that mesh with an indefatigable groove, environments that recognize and meld into an unexplored universe, an assemblage of diverse genres, all shaped into a sound flow that is ever gentle and aggressive, overwhelming, fascinating and sharp, violent in its voluptuous delicacy.

❝ The line between sweetness and unease is always thin: what attracts us the most often coincides with what scares us the most.

❝ The sound fabric is shapeless, ambient, and fully blended with an idea, not far off, of Dream Pop.

❝ The German Berliner Sascha Ring, (also known as Apparat) with Duplex, signs what in my humble opinion should be considered one of the 2003 masterpieces in the field of electronic music.

❝ This album has a purely technical, electronic brain, but at the same time a warm and pulsating soul (Song of Los): the warmth and search for a soothing sensation can be felt in every track, almost purifying.

❝ “To me, it seems the best existing attempt to translate the spirit of these times into sound form.”

❝ “Burial is a wizard, capable of finding new solutions like few others, and enriching his palette.”

❝ “It is music to be faced alone. It cannot be shared: so slippery, shapeless, and shadowy, always different depending on who looks at it.”

❝ Two adorable gentlemen with lights on their glasses make people jump around the world, and they've been doing so for over thirty years.

❝ It's no coincidence that in December 1989, Paul and Philip Hartnoll, known as Orbital, managed to have a crucial record pressed by FFRR, the very first vinyl of "Chime," one of the milestones of techno music.

❝ 1996. The fourth album arrives at a crucial moment for the band.

❝ Claustrophobia.

❝ Portishead's "Third" disconcerts, and immerses the beloved and iconographic sound of the Bristol trio in dark/industrial waters.

❝ It's like being in Chicago in the '30s, with too much LSD in your system.

❝ Otto Von Schirach is an Experimenter with a capital E, Otto Von Schirach is a superior mind, Otto Von Schirach is an entity to be revered and adored for the rest of our days.

❝ The gangster of Digital Sound Processing.

❝ Moral of the story? Yet another 5/5 for this freaking Genius.

❝ Extremely underrated, eclectic, intelligent, and endowed with that typical German sardonic humor; these are the qualities that most distinguish Oomph!

❝ Wunschkind, probably the darkest album in the entire Neue Deutsche Härte scene; uncompromising, claustrophobic, dark, sick, and cathartic,

❝ it’s Dero and co.’s most pop and accessible album, a smooth, inspired, flashy enough and above all fun album that turns out to be exciting.

❝ Never had an anime had such a lively, symbiotic, indissoluble, and perfect musical accompaniment: an immense mosaic where orchestral pieces reminiscent of Bach blend with dreamlike and carnal lullabies, explosions of suffocating tragedy, and magnificent spiritual hymns.

❝ The soundtrack of Neon Genesis Evangelion knows how to seduce those who will give it more than a fleeting glance.

❝ Philippe Zdar and Hubert Blanc (aka Bombass), known as Cassius, are two of the most notable exponents of the so-called “French Touch”

❝ Recorded in three weeks in Ibiza (where else?) “15 Again” is the typical take-it-or-leave-it album;

❝ So, don’t expect anything particular from this CD. In truth, it doesn’t aim to take you anywhere, but it is the journey that should be enjoyed as it is, without expectations of arrival and letting oneself be carried away by the delirious and audacious genius of the mad Tentaclefolks. Recommended for those who want to get high without the use of any kind of drug.

❝ Space-rock, progressive, fusion, psychedelia, world-music, new age... ...or more simply... trip-rock!

❝ A world apart, that’s all.

❝ the album seems to push forward a true concept of dehumanization of music, with an extremely mechanical execution and obstinately resistant to any form of progression.

❝ Electroma is a masterpiece of images and sounds comparable to a Stanley Kubrick film!

❝ If this relationship achieves a 50/50 proportion in Tron Legacy (putting aside for now a screenplay from which I expect nothing good), we could say that Daft Punk did a good job.

❝ A precious compound, suspended and rarefied, of minimal percussion, assorted electric discharges, shy piano chords, and poignant symphonic openings.

❝ It was silence. And yet it moved.

❝ An album to listen to with your eyes closed, in reverent silence, with your heart in hand but your mind elsewhere.

❝ “The Ulver are the living proof that music has neither boundaries nor genres.”

❝ “Ulver is a schizophrenic band.”

❝ “Wolves evolves once again”.

❝ "Shouting at the Ground" by the masters of experimental ambient Zoviet France emerges as a monument to musical audacity.

❝ jesus christ... I WAS JIM JONES ATTORNEY...

❝ The unique sound of Zoviet France appears to disintegrate in front of us every time; it is something organic, alive, distorting every perception of the concept of sound, it is continuous layering and sensory disruption, filthy, foul, threatening, and intact.

❝ This is "Dangerous Drive".

❝ The French Laurent Garnier, the ingenious disc-jockey now known all over the world, began his career in the eighties in the clubs of London and Manchester.

❝ Despite its brevity, this small selection only serves to confirm the talent and importance of this artist, truly capable of creating wonderful minimal-techno architectures (or IDM, as you prefer).

❝ Dancefloor music with a soul, flowing like a fast train, and it narcotizes the brain.

❝ Ellen Allien, also known as Ellen Fraatz, a German, is part of this unchanged underground realm where the nose of the major music industry fails to capture the most delicate fragrances and the most intoxicating scents.

❝ Mystical visions with a cinematic flavor, audio-visual propulsions on disjointed rhythms.

❝ An album of seemingly sparse electronics, yet endowed with an internal energy, a frantic, lively rhythmic charge that is relentless.

❝ A wonderful piece of work, overflowing with insights.

❝ The 34-year-old Briton is a genius now mature, a sensational figure in the dance world (his selections "At The Controls" and "Dj-Kicks" are remarkable), he is one of the few who can afford to do whatever the hell he wants.

❝ A goldsmith of the most elegant and imaginative ambient music (and beyond) of the last thirty years, Roach has crafted over time jewels of inestimable value utilizing (and shaping them to his path each time) both that golden vein brought fully into the sunlight by Brian Eno, and that inexhaustible deposit of electronic gems from the German cosmic school.

❝ Steve Roach is a genius: he practically reinvented ambient music.

❝ Released in 1988, this sonic masterpiece is not just an album but an auditory pilgrimage through time and space, an invitation to immerse oneself in the mysterious landscape of the Aboriginal Dreamtime.

❝ Four tracks, two twelve-inch vinyls, 45 RPM, one track per side, about 30 minutes of dark, blood-weeping dub filth.

❝ A calvary, a sacrificial ritual, an exhausting massacre dripping with blood, this is Fabric 55, each track flows into another in an unstoppable maelstrom.

❝ "3Eps" by Shackleton: the album I wanted to hear from Massive Attack.

❝ If you see dear Brock on the street, turn your back: the friend is what most resembles the stereotype of a bad guy, complete with face tattoos, pronounced eyebrow arches, and an empty gaze like a plastic bowl, a real thug.

❝ “I quote a phrase from one of the early albums and then a phrase from this “Solar Soul”: “Love is a poison which flourishes in the heart of the weak” Converting doubt and hate, into love and faith”

❝ “You will understand it right from the first track “Rain””

❝ “Founded in 1990 and devoted to Black Metal from the very beginning”

❝ "Gnayse" is an album of soft, refined electronic music.

❝ if you were looking for the missing link between melodies and metallic sounds, Fyuti by Bola is what you’re after.

❝ "Endless Summer" is simply a work of art, whose importance lies not in its innovative potential or ability to revolutionize the history of music, but merely in its ability to express and convey emotions.

❝ Viennese Christian Fennesz is one of the prominent figures in the realm of minimal electronic exploration, otherwise known as "glitch," among whose current exponents we find Four Tet, Lali Puna, and the artists of Morr Music.

❝ But probably only and exclusively from Fennesz could we (not) expect a work like this "Black Sea," an extraordinary gem released in November 2008 by the industrious Touch Records.

❝ Scanner is the pseudonym of the art creator behind this album, which in the strict sense isn't an album, gathering tracks, pieces, and entire pieces of previous works dating back to 1984 (the record was reissued in 2003).

❝ These were adventurous years when this album was made: the technological progress represented by the advent of sequencers and modular synths made it possible, in the most creative minds, for a new musical style to emerge.

❝ This was the electronics of those mature ’70s: passion, hard work, the satisfaction of making music.

❝ all the track titles are alphanumeric codes that identify flights of various airlines

❝ Trances open doors & Drones close circles.

❝ Languid electroacoustic arabesques and a tribal heart.

❝ On "Electric Ladder," Robert Rich returns to the organic textures of his best times, reprising the now-established fusion of acoustic elements (especially flute) and electronic synths (particularly the modular synthesis developed in recent years with the use of the MOTM, of which he is among the main promoters).

❝ "Iconclastar" is an album that cannot be missing from the collection of anyone who appreciates ambient-industrial music.

❝ You won't find it in the top lists of all time, you won't find it in books, you won't find it in charts around the web, but one thing is certain: this is a damn masterpiece.

❝ They’ve disappeared for some time now, remaining shrouded in mystery.

❝ Stop, don't do it!
Don't do it if you don't want to fry your brain.

❝ Schwingungen has no words. A foundational text of rock, whatever genre you consider, Schwingungen has very few rivals.

❝ If Kubrick had been a musician, he probably would have gifted us a masterpiece like "Schwingungen".

❝ Cabaret Voltaire: futuristic pioneers of electronics from Sheffield (UK).

❝ on this occasion, which definitively closes the Rough Trade period, the C.V.'s have nevertheless produced like never before, powerful and communicative music, articulated in suggestions and of great physical impact.

❝ Sick sounds, alien-like atmospheres, and skeletal drum machines are the main elements of a picture...

❝ “What can be born here in the fog of the world?”

❝ it’s an honest album, and not only: it’s an irresponsible, selfish, courageous album in its disregard for carrying such a prestigious brand;

❝ The proceeds destined for the Clinica Bolnicki in Zagreb underline the profound significance of this album.

❝ With Bjork at her peak and the Black Dog now established as a cornerstone of IDM, we come across a masterpiece from '97.

❝ The 1994 will be remembered in the world of Techno music as a miraculous year; many of you might be surprised to know that even that jovial character Sven Väth made it among the stars with his "The Harlequin, The Robot And The Ballet Dancer."

❝ “Our intent is to compose music that doesn't depress people. For that, there are already the Radiohead.”

❝ An album to own also for its ultra-luxurious packaging, a colorful and artistic digipak.

❝ LEMON JELLY: musicians of electronic music, but more precisely samplers (fragments of songs), ingenious creators of unreal soundscapes, comic-like, engaging, psychedelic, vibrant, and suggestive atmospheres.

❝ The London ensemble, in fact, connects to the tradition of American jazz, yet at the same time immerses it in a contemporaneity made of samplers, turntables, and strange electronic gadgets.

❝ How talented they are. I'm struck by the ease with which they know how to combine diametrically opposed genres like jazz and electronics, ranging from typically lounge dreamy sounds to improvisations worthy of the best St. Louis scene.

❝ An album, a boulder where the atmosphere is so strong and suggestive that it hurts.

❝ Space is calling us, the journey has just begun.

❝ The second of these albums, "U.F.Orb," is released in July 1992 and shoots to no. 1 on the UK charts.

❝ Here, in Pomme Fritz, there is no precise groove. Instead, there exists a "pleasant ambient chaos."

❝ William Bennett's Whitehouse are considered the fathers of what we call power electronics.

❝ With "Great White Death" the aesthetics of the ugly reaches one of its peaks.

❝ Power-Electronics is born.

❝ House music. But relaxing. Such a simple idea that no one had thought of before Robert Miles, who gave a first taste with “Children,” the track that in 1995 catapulted him to international attention.

❝ “Everyday Life” (1997) I like it, I like it a lot, I’ve always liked it.

❝ Those expecting a replication of the dreamy trance of “Fable” and “Children” were indeed disappointed, because in this work, created between the end of ’96 and the first half of ’97, Robert chose to delve into other sound universes, ranging from extended ambient to chill-out, through drum and bass, field recordings captured during the Dreamland tour, and sometimes daring attempts to blend electronic sounds with live instrumentation.

❝ "44 minutes of future-black-music to be listened to all in one go, preferably standing very close to Mr. Subwoofer"

❝ He manages to create a Titan, forges a Leviathan composed of small indissoluble parts.

❝ An album that offers something unexpected with every new listen.

❝ The noise that becomes sound and melody at the same time.

❝ A carpet of drones that crush, annihilate, oppress until they release into vaporous exhalations.

❝ The new album by Fuck Buttons is like a luxury trans: it was the missing transgression, but one that was already there, something dirty yet classy, natural and unnatural;

❝ A unique and worthy heir of Aphex Twin, he skillfully blends hip-hop, jazz, Latin rhythms, drum’n’bass to create yet another stroke in the art of electronic sampling.

❝ listen and (hopefully) you won't regret it.

❝ And as far as I’m concerned, this means we are facing a Mr. Album.

❝ A truly great album that will take you straight to the gates of Mordor! Available on Bandcamp.

❝ The album is overall interesting, not particularly innovative, but not stale either.

❝ I recommend it to those who want to listen to something gothic metal without the metal (which, by the way, is annoying).

❝ It takes talent to whisper lullabies.

❝ This is music for the brain-damaged. That's why I like it so much.

❝ Let’s dance, let’s dance, otherwise we are lost.

❝ A record that tells of futuristic wars, cosmic explosions, grotesque yet frenetic ballads for the next generation of androids.

❝ A masterpiece of electronic music produced by a genius of the laptop and "synthesization".

❝ If I had to find an adjective to describe Devine's music, more than experimental or abstract..., it would definitely be "creative."

❝ The future of metal is all in those eleven songs.

❝ Because let’s be honest, we might say we like Metal for the technique, for the atmospheres, or for some other reason that doesn’t come to mind right now, but the real reason we grind our ears with records like "City" by Strapping Young Lad is one: to have someone else scream in our place!

❝ 'City' is all this: a musical treatise on schizophrenia...

❝ Singularity is designed to be listened to from start to finish without any interruption, without distinction between the various tracks.

❝ In any case, Immunity, a melancholy work of the night, shines in all its modernity, acclaiming Jon Hopkins in all his genius, finally autonomous.

❝ The group (a duo) from Saint Petersburg makes heavy use of samples taken from the world of music, cinema, television, forming emotional collages.

❝ The album is undoubtedly the lightest, most carefree, and irreverent they have composed, but it is no less brilliant than its two predecessors.

❝ Overall, an excellent work in its genre.

❝ A record of confirmation rather than transition.

❝ "Good Time": is what you spend with Oneohtrix Point Never.

❝ The most accessible work of Daniel Lopatin, who after the success of the Good Time soundtrack has ventured into experimental Vangelism, folk in some aspects, kraut as substance.

❝ When talking about electronic music, one cannot overlook the name Holger Czukay.

❝ Holger Czukay, before forming Can, was an electronic experimenter, a student of Stockhausen, who played with samples and tried to mix "classical" avant-garde with rock sounds.

❝ The exact carbon copy of Streetcleaner by Godflesh.

❝ This apocalyptic-experimental journey toward nothingness lasts just under thirty minutes.

❝ Move on, forget about it; you won’t miss anything good.

❝ in "Timeless", indeed, there is no drop in style, and in its over seventy minutes of duration, the purest and most total perfection is achieved.

❝ The fact is that the track is incredibly dull.

❝ 'Sine Tempus' is an astounding album.

❝ soft post-rock infested with abrasive electronics, melodic and languid in its confident advance,

❝ This time God flies low.

❝ The latest creation from the Irish band is the classic "come back" to their sonic origins.

❝ These three episodes are the masterpieces that make "Soli Deo Gloria" an important and influential album, laying the foundations for a new musical language.

❝ A fundamental album for enthusiasts of the genre.

❝ Intense, visionary, and compelling, this is "Welcome To Earth," a fundamental album for its genre and a strictly unique exemplar; free to believe it or not, to share it or not, but calling this album a masterpiece is absolutely not an exaggeration.

❝ Tim Hecker is a Canadian electronic music composer.

❝ Hecker is nature. Hecker is industry. Hecker is sacredness.

❝ A record played on the long take of inhuman forces that find their profound reason for being in the human gaze.

❝ Kevin Martin and Justin Broadrick. Just these two names one after the other are enough to realize you’re dealing with something serious.

❝ It is a sort of Bitches Brew updated to the ’90s, the sound undertaken by K. Martin & J. Broadrick during the first Techno Animal releases.

❝ Harsh is the watchword.

❝ Throbbing Gristle have died twice.

❝ “f(x)” is a washing machine.

❝ The German musician and producer conducts a symphony in 10 movements, exploring an electronic galaxy in contact with acoustic signals from a neoclassical parallel universe.

❝ A voice, interstellar dust amid supernova explosions.

❝ Planetary Unfolding is based on the use of the Serge Modular Synthesizer and is composed of 6 movements that take listeners on a sort of initiatory journey through deep space.

❝ "A very personal yet familiar sonic journey to everyone"

❝ Yet all this makes me reflect, makes me think; it’s almost as if this reserved and seemingly shy man does not want to reveal his emotions translated into lyrics without the filter of the wonderful interpreter Dave Gahan.

❝ There are 14 years between the two albums, and like the last one, the first one is composed of covers, an e.p with 6 songs by artists ranging from the seventies (Sparks, Comsat Angels) to the early eighties (Tuxedomoon, Durutti Column).

❝ The point is that in the experience of Throbbing Gristle noise became the word.

❝ Noise as a form of melody, noise as a song, noiseas an art form.

❝ Well, now that the necessary premises have been made, I can say it: this album is a fucking masterpiece!

❝ Press the play button, and you’ll have your 50 minutes of tranquility.

❝ It lacks that something extra that would allow it to become a classic like the 2011 album, but this remains the electronic music we like and the one we need as an antidote to the enduring and continuous stress of life.

❝ His tropical-scented chill-out, sometimes more ambient (“Past Is Prologue” and “Dive”), sometimes more timidly post-rock (“Awake”), has gently pushed the waves toward the shore, accompanying sunsets and spiritual journeys, leaving a sense of total peace of mind.

❝ Overall, it was a perfect manifesto of the so-called isolationism.

❝ New album by Gianluca Becuzzi, now a veteran of the Italian dark-industrial scene (Limbo, Noise Trade Company, Kinetix, Grey History).

❝ Gianluca Becuzzi concludes his trilogy dedicated to covers of artists he deeply loves with DeepeR.

❝ The identity of the Dual Purpose project is still a topic of debate today, but it is most likely another manifestation of the 'anonymous is beautiful' philosophy branded Gescom.

❝ The insane "Rubbaband" is nothing but the cherry on top in a flawless EP, an experiment between drill'n'bass and breakcore that instead of hitting with the intricate and precise patterns of the Squarepusher/Vsnares school, it fires a continuous roll that feels a lot like death metal, but also like "Untilted", with which it shares the process of disarticulation and breaking of any form of rhythm.

❝ “Streetcleaner” is not just a masterpiece of industrial metal, one of the most influential chapters in extreme music ever, the perfect vade mecum of how this music should be conceived, composed, and executed.

❝ It's my album of 2023.

❝ And the music of Void Of Silence is the materialization of these nightmares.

❝ Criteria Ov 666 represents the fresco of a mind marked by conflict, by struggle, whichprogressively detaches itself from the world, gradually becoming inhuman.

❝ The apocalyptic doom of Void of Silence ends up settling midway between the languid marches of godfathers My Dying Bride and the dramatic pathos of the less ironic Arcturus, obviously soaked in the Nothing of an auteur dark-ambient that has always been the band’s trademark.
