Trance is for babies

On: Electronic Music 101?

While arguably the most popular form of electronic music, I find that trance is generally very simple and predictable.

For some people/groups that'll challenge your eats a little more, check out:

- Prefuse 73 / Vocal Studies & Uprock Narratives.: easily the best album of last year, IMHO. Great hip-hop meets electro meets turntablism. New album just out on Warp, sounds great so far.
- Plaid / all their LPs: beautiful beeps
- Console: pop-electro fantastic
- Brothomstates: there's a track called Mdrmx that is best listened to late at night, lights off, on your living room floor
- Sandor Caron / Harmonia and Cross: more melody, less straight-up beeps, good stuff all 'round.
- Mice Parade: twings, twangs, sampled goodness.
- Autechre: actually, he's just another example why the Warp Records label is the best place to start for electro.
- Cinematic Orchestra or Koop: if you're into more of a jazz feel

Your ears will thank you.
