COMPILATIONS WITH doris norton

Death Disco ‘79-’91

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

this genre has been given many different names such as ebm, industrial or darkwave, but the song ‘death disco’ from public image ltd probably sums it up best. poetic, dark and moody synthesizer gothics with touches of punk, new wave and disco inbetween.. you have to be in the mood for this.

the bonus track of this styleguides compilation not available on amazon is throbbing gristle’s ebm classic ‘hot on the heels of love’ from 1979:

Electro ‘81-’83

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

electro music in it’s pure form is primarily about tr808 drum machine fetishism. several synthesizers helped start a new music genre (dx7, tb303, tr909, kpr77 etc), but tr808 seems to be the most prominent of them. if time allows there will be further styleguide compilations for early 80s electro r’n'b and electro rap.
