Believe it or not? I like a lot of classical (well basically all famous classical pieces I have heard. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi etc. And I like a great variety of music. The Black Keys (Rock), Jimi Hendrix (Rock) Radiohead (Alternative Rock) and Muse (my favourite rock band and my brothers favourite band of all).
Lenny Kravitz. Alicia Keys. Some of the Black Eyed Peas. Plenty of Jamiroquai.
Supermen Lovers.
And then yes I like a lot of Electronica but there is not one type of music I won't like if it sounds good to me. Its NOT about the style for me.
The thing is Electronica is extremely broad because it can incorporate pretty much any other style of music into it. Its not specific. It just contains something electronic enough about it (like synths) that classify it as elecronica. And Synths are very very broad too. Less specific than say a piano or whatever.
Although I think pianos are extremely beautiful instruments and a lot of my favourite songs ever, of Orbital's for example. Have piano in them.
Such as Kein Trink Wasser and Fahrenheit 303. Also the beautiful piano at the start of what is (probably) my favourite song ever. Halcyon on and on by Orbital.
I like Jazz, Hip-hop, Funk, Classical rock and even a bit of country (some Moby songs that have been a 'bit country sounding' I have liked a lot. Its not about the style for me its about the sound).
Orbital were originally influenced by punk and electro and they incorporate all sorts of different sounds and samples into their music.
So I like lots of different styles of music. I generally like electronica but then - thats because I like music that has lots of sound in it and to have synth influence is at least generally better than no synth for me.
And as I said electronica is very very broad and practically any other style can be successful incorporated with it.
Leftfield for example fuse reggae with dub and house music. And they even got a genre named after them because they're so unique (and cool). A music genre called - Leftfield.
I bloody love music. Its about the sound not the style for me. I don't favour electronica it just happens that a lot of the bands I like do electronica. I guess I prefer the sound of different instruments with synths than without. I love synths.
My favourite instruments are synths, drums and piano.
I like lots of different bands but Orbital is the one for me overall. And Electronica is very broad and Orbital certainly cannot be defined in one word other than "Orbital". Providing you know that it stands for them (the band) and not the m25 they're named after.
I'm certainly not into one kind of music. Certainly not. There are big differences between these different bands. Music with synths is not simply all the same. Synths are extremely versatile. And you can add practically any other music with them! Electronica is very very versatile and thats why I overall like more electronica bands. Its not the style, its the sound. For me. And of course - how it sounds to me. I can't speak for others.
Orbital said that Underworld are mates of theirs. But as they pointed out there are certainly differences. I mean you only have to listen. Both kind of long tracks but they sound different.
Underworld tend to have a 'certain style'. Orbital's music on the other hand varies a great deal. They always have the 'Orbital feel' about their music - but if you listen to their different albums they vastly transform and each album tends to have a very different theme that kind of develops throughout and tells a story. And sometimes the tracks blend into each other.
Like how on the 3rd album Lush3-1 which then blends into part 2 (3-2) then blends into the track 'Impact' which blends into 'Remind'.
And they very often blend their tracks into each other (as the track is changing) live. In my experience. Listening to 'Live at Glastonbury 1994-2004' and watching (and hearing!) the DVD version of it too.
It just sounds awesome as far as I'm concerned. I like lots of styles.
I think the Muse track's 'Bliss' and 'Plug in Baby' are extremely cool too, for example. And Lenny Kravitz's 'Are you Gonna Go My Way?', 'Fly Away' tunnel vision. And practically all his tracks I really like too (as with Muse). But Bliss and Plug in Baby I'd say are my favourite's of theirs.
Too many other stuff to list really.
