Somewhat the same thing could be said for LFO twenty years later; their album "Advance" sounds like they were channeling Cluster/Harmonia of the mid-70s. Of the others you list I'm big on Orbital, Art of Noise, Cabaret Voltaire, Leftfield (not really electronic IME). Bowery Electric, Robert Miles, the Higher Intelligence Agency, and Michael Hoenig ("Departure From the Northern Wasteland" especially) are worth a mention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-13611106908944172982022-04-23T12:14:19.592-05:002022-04-23T12:14:19.592-05:00شاید شماهم جمله معروف موسیقی غذای روح است را بارها...شاید شماهم جمله معروف موسیقی غذای روح است را بارها شنیده باشید اما این حرف تا چه اندازه حقیقت دارد؟ گوش کردن به انواع موسیقی علاوه بر سرگرمی و ایجاد حس نشاط، فواید بسیاری برای اعصاب و روان انسان دارد <a href="https://www.ilna.news/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D8%B4-%D8%A8%D9%86%DA%AF%D8%A7%D9%87-%D9%87%D8%A7-206/1219064-%DA%86%D9%87-%D8%A2%D9%87%D9%86%DA%AF-%D9%87%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D8%A7%DB%8C%D8%AF-%DA%A9%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%A7-%DA%AF%D9%88%D8%B4-%DA%A9%D8%B1%D8%AF" rel="nofollow">دانلود آهنگ شاد</a><br />JACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977743002140224540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-43452044204756511572020-10-08T16:00:11.486-05:002020-10-08T16:00:11.486-05:00Simple Minds, Boards of Canada, Paul Oakenfold, th...Simple Minds, Boards of Canada, Paul Oakenfold, that dj from minimal nation who invented minimal techno, please skip Erasure; they did not add amything ad their output is meh.

I'm ...Welcome to the party, regardless, Kendra. I'm flattered that a Wikipedia article would bother citing my blog, especially considering this list is nowhere near complete. All the same, it's good to see another fan of electronic and industrial music here. I agree with you that Skinny Puppy and Front 242 (and perhaps even D.A.F. and Nitzer Ebb) are worthy contenders for the Top 100, as far as dance-oriented industrial acts are concerned. Einstürzende Neubauten is a trickier case, in my opinion, since the bulk of their most significant output didn't rely too heavily on electronics (though their music certainly did to an extent, such as "Yü-Gung (Fütter Mein Ego)"). Ultimately, I would probably place them in the same category as experimental bands like Can, Neu!, Pink Floyd, and The Residents -- pioneering artists that utilized electronics in seminal ways yet perhaps wouldn't be labeled as "electronic music" in the most accurate sense. Ministry is also an interesting case, since their biggest success came from their metal-oriented material; but since their early EBM and industrial dance offerings were so influential, I think they have a big enough case to be considered for this list. Other important electronic-based industrial acts worth noting are KMFDM, Coil, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, and Clock DVA; still, these names would probably be relegated to the next hundred positions, if this list is expanded one day. :-) <br /><br />P.S. A massive influence on industrial music (whom I forgot to include in the "hopefuls" list) was Suicide. They will in fact be in the 20s-30s range.Zach Dufrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669161555784536401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-41685130610672436292016-08-08T18:27:16.983-05:002016-08-08T18:27:16.983-05:00I am very late to the party; got here from the Dep...I am very late to the party; got here from the Depeche Mode Wikipedia article. Anyway, I appreciate the appearance of Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire into the list of hopefuls; I guess they represent a whole line of development, ie the "darker" industrial sound of the 80ies to the mid 90ies. As influential as TG was for this area of electronic music, you might want to think about possibly including Skinny Puppy, Einstürzende Neubauten, and even Front 242, as well. SP is representing a slightly more accessible line to Industrial, i strongly believe that SP is probably the most cited reference for many electronic wave/industrial rock acts of the modern era, and together with Ministry they were key for the development of so called industrial metal. Very possibly, Nine Inch Nails would have sounded a lot differently without Puppy.<br />Front 242, while the least influential the three proposed bands, at least has spawned a whole new genre, as with EBM, which in turn would influence technno and trance later.<br />Neubauten are so unique, even in the industrial genre, that they should appear on a list of the most influential electro acts. Few projects have pushed the limits of sound artistry as them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022159168151139642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-15576721725149479392016-08-08T18:10:51.727-05:002016-08-08T18:10:51.727-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022159168151139642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-27203915630124843502015-12-01T15:37:07.005-06:002015-12-01T15:37:07.005-06:00Thank you for your interest in my list.

Massive Attack ind...Thanks for the love, Kristian.<br /><br />Massive Attack indeed do very well based on the criteria I've set -- noteworthy influence, considerable musical impact and acclaim, and at least modest commercial success. I see them being somewhere just outside the Top 20 though. If I ever manage to find time to finish the next set of twenty entries, you'll see them there.<br /><br />Concerning DM's high placement, it's understandable that they might seem a bit high. But after having scored them in each of the criteria as accurately as I could (and I know these things are ultimately subjective), their spot on the list is completely justified. They're the most commercially successful electronic music band in history -- we're talking over 100 million records sold -- and they're certainly no slouches in the other criteria. Their influence is felt in nearly every corner of synth-driven pop and dance music.<br /><br />And that's good you brought up Yaz and Erasure. Both are easily Top 100 (maybe Top 50) electronic acts and will be covered if, again, I get around to completing this project. Vince Clarke's a very talented and trailblazing figure, no doubt.<br /><br />Zach Dufrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669161555784536401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-41859476956164313092015-08-18T13:15:15.505-05:002015-08-18T13:15:15.505-05:00Great list!

I agree with almost everything except for the couple of entries I did not know, and the couple of artist I don't fancy (but recognize their influence). But I can't understand why Massive Attack isn't on this list... Huge influence on pop, rap, sampling and producing - even spawning it's own genre. On top of that they have in my book only released true masterpieces. Although I like DM I disagree with their high position. And Yazoo/Erasure is missing as well, though that might have been a stretch. But and honorable spot for Clarke (although with DM for a time) would have been nice 😊 Just my opinion of course - but from a guy who has been listening to Carlos, Jarre and Oldfield since before he could walk...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587423294048612382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-89191861851687625452015-03-16T01:56:42.488-05:002015-03-16T01:56:42.488-05:00Pink Floyd made some noteworthy experiments with a...Pink Floyd made some noteworthy experiments with ambience and synthesizers, but it would be a bit of a stretch to consider them for the main list.

It's also important to note that Enigma have sold many millions of records more than Deep Forest, so the former have a much better chance of being included on this list than the latter.<br /><br />And which "SPACE" are you referring to? If you mean the French electro-disco band of "Magic Fly" fame, I would agree that they should at least be considered for the Top 100. Though not especially popular outside of Europe and Russia, Didier Marouani & Space were certainly important early pioneers in electronic dance music, alongside Giorgio Moroder, Cerrone, and Patrick Cowley.Zach Dufrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806661791395954064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-67520375227309337252014-06-20T17:28:39.534-05:002014-06-20T17:28:39.534-05:00Missing important and influential artist as "...Missing important and influential artist as "Deep Forest" and "SPACE"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-85641348101752745122014-05-17T22:01:43.928-05:002014-05-17T22:01:43.928-05:00Hi Wes,

I hadn't really considered him for the list, since the vast majority of his career consists of straight-ahead pop-rock, but his synthesizer work on 'The Dream Weaver' is surely noteworthy -- the title track being a bit of a proto-synthpop classic -- so I could see Wright as an honorable mention. Good suggestion all the same.<br /><br />Vangelis, on the other hand, is a true e-music legend and among the most influential synthesists of all time (not quite on par with Carlos and Jarre, but he's up there). And he's had a pretty successful run in the limelight, having composed some well-known and oft' celebrated film soundtracks; "Titles" from 'Chariots of Fire' is culturally significant, in particular. A Top 20 placement for Vangelis could certainly be argued for, though I think I see him in the next tier, perhaps falling somewhere in the 20-25 range.<br /><br />I hope to round out the Top 20 pretty soon, so keep on the lookout. :-) Zach Dufrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669161555784536401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536150394644969993.post-16700609017492641692014-05-17T21:29:04.051-05:002014-05-17T21:29:04.051-05:00I like your list, and in particular Kraftwerk and ...I like your list, and in particular Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream. Have you looked into Gary Wright? Dream Weaver and Our Love Is Alive were hits in the 70s and I believe were all electronic, except possibly the drums. Also, what about Greek composer Vangelis? While most of his most popular work involved Yes vocalist Jon Anderson, his soundtracks have been legendary. They get my vote for numbers 19 and 20.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101015998794156674noreply@blogger.com
