future historians of music, when they look back upon the first 100 years of electronic music,

who will be the great musicians of our time?

And don't just say "Goldfrapp" or "The fucking Human League" (yes, Mirror has shuddered at your "recommend me an electronic band" thread)

They say 'Don't feed the Troll' but I can't resist this one.....

The Beatles aren't even 100 years old yet, there's no guarantee historians will be writing about them in 50 years from now, but the odds are quite high they will be.

Electroinic Music is already about the same age as The Beatles, if not slightly older, as the period Electrospective covers is from 1958, and guess what in that 55 year period of music Goldfrapp figure pretty highly.


Maybe rather than shudder tell us your expert opinion on what is great electronic music.

I guess I need to thank The Mirror for making me (as someone relatively new, yes NEW to these parts) realise that actually most, if not nearly all people on this board are really cool, kind and nice to one another. Well like others have said I have so much shit to deal with in the real world, where people are really unpleasant, and Mirror thanks you've made me realise one thing Goldfrapp have achieved is to create a virtual community where people actually get on in harmony with one another despite having perhaps loads of other differences in the real world, we seem to get on really well compared to other forums and places of discussion on the internet

You're quite right though cervus, we're here to have a friendly chat about music we like, who gives a flying fuck (perfectly warranted swearing) if someone else doesn't like the same thing?! As you say there are much bigger things to worry about.
Don't feel shame for defending something you like, it's more admirable than going round knocking things/people just to get a rise out of others. What kind of dick does that?

Thanks Ping :) I think I am more annoyed at myself for letting it get to me. I am
normally the stupid silly annoying person and it would normally require rather
more poking at me to get that kind of response.....but I rose to it and
that's that. I still stand by what I said I just wish it had not come to
that...never mind eh. I will not be giving it any more of my time.

And they say mirrorcles don't happen

LOL @ mirrorcles

What is art, if not a direct exploit of pain? Go to hell, mirror. Shame on you trying to trivializing and belittle the work of these creative gods.

Mirror is a little disappointed, where are all it's like-minded voices?

Jaxsbudgie, Corvina, Sartori, Shamie, even the old Carpathian who was up for constructive dialogue?

Where are the people who demanded quality over a few glossy pics?

 Their new material - if it isnt music you like , its not "shit" , its not "wheres them synths at ho" , its just music that your tastes have declined , no more , no less - any view that the band "owes" you something or must go down a certain genre is being up your own arse with pretentiousness its at Tracey Emin levels.

 And finally the punchline , this is a lean period and we do await the new album with our younger selves intense anticpipation , I like what I hear from the clips , its quality music - not mass produced music by the numbers , its quality in the musical structure and lyrics that arent from a "hit machine factory" and that I can appreciate even if I dont like the product . Myself , I`m objective enough that if I dont like the new album after hearing it , then I`ll leave the forum (until the next album) but I won`t force myself to like TOU just because "its Goldfrapp OMG , I`ve been waiting years for this" - Metaphor deleted, it was.wasted On this thread .  

 

Who is Mirror?

...and pardon my french by the way... Dawn French , she made me write it .
