These are some of our current favorite albums. We always list full-length albums unless otherwise noted. This list here contains only albums which, in our opinion, contain no more than 20% fluff and at least 80% quality electronic listening music. We`ve provided this list because we`re always playing music at our venues and events and we get many, many requests from people who are unfamiliar with the artists but are very interested in this type of music. A great way to get exposure to this music is through XM or Sirius sattelite radio - they are worth the money just to not have to listen to a commercial ever again let alone the abundance of great music. There are also many free outlets on the internet. Try BreaksFM.com for one. Link and Live Streaming Radio above.
As I compile this list I will try my best to make clear what style of electronica it is. In the near future I will provide a layman`s glossary of the different genres that make up the various styles of techno and the like. We understand that not everyone is impressed by music that is, in a way, performed by robots, but it is my personal belief that the beauty of music is in the EARS of the beholder and that the genious in electronic music is that these machines allow many more people the ability to compose the creative melodies that are only available in their minds, in essence giving us way more musical choices than we`ve ever had.
Pop radio from the late 80`s to today has fallen so far from it`s glory days of the early 70`s to early 80`s that it`s hard for most people to imagine that we`d ever have that kind of depth in quality of music again. Well, my friends, I`m here to tell you, that depth of quality is here today but you`re never gonna get it from some major corporate entity. When they get ahold of it they`re gonna ruin it anyway. That`s why I`m compiling this list. Because I MUST share with everyone I can, the electrifying sensation that comes from finding those tracks that are timeless and classic, moving and motivational, something that amplifies your electrical impulses. Don`t resist the urge to listen to this music loud. It makes a difference. MUSIC IS LIFE! ENJOY!
