ThreeTuneTuesday: Electronica
Hello music lovers! 🎵 🎧 🎵
Last time I was driving and listening to music from the radio. They were playing some modern electronic music that I didn't like at all and I changed the station. It got me thinking, when did I start listening to electronica in the first place, I'm actually a punk at heart, haha?
Anyway, this reflection gave me the content for today's #threetunetuesday started by @ablaze. My 10th post in a row here, I think.
I wouldn't dare to say that these are the best artists in this genre, but I just want to mention that I listened to them very intensively at one point in my life. Very early on, in fact. On the one hand, listening to raw punk energy and on the other hand, daydreams, fantasies, and new sounds from some devices that aren't even instruments. I mean, that goes together in adolescence, doesn't it? 😁
Here I have compiled three songs by artists who were (and still are) involved in the electronic music I loved (and still love) to listen to. My opinion is that they also had a very big influence on younger creators and from that different genres have developed from house, techno, trance, disco, Italo, etc...
Tangerine Dream - Encore
Tangerine Dream is a band and one of the most prominent representatives of electronica in popular music. Their history with all members, past, present, and deceased, and over 100 albums released is very well documented, so you can read the details there. They are also known for being able to stretch their songs into improvisations of twenty minutes or more.
I've chosen one shorter track from 1977, from their tenth album, a recording from a very successful US tour.
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene part 4
Jean-Michel Jarre is a French composer, world-renowned, also a pioneer of electronic and ambient music, with over a hundred million records sold, to name but a few. He is also known for the huge crowds at his open-air concerts, including over two million in Paris in June 1990 and over three million in Moscow in 1997.
I remember that his third studio album Oxygene in 1976 was his first worldwide hit and I have chosen a track from here. And a funny video with penguins.
Kraftwerk - Das Model
When we talk about electronic music, we cannot ignore another pioneer who also broke new ground, Kraftwerk. They were innovators, among other things. I have read that one of the first vocoders was made on their instructions and two of their members hold a patent for electronic drums (source: Wikipedia). I didn't know that :)
I have chosen the song that has, I think, seen the most covers by other artists. It was released in 1978, on the Man-Machine album, but it only became popular as the B-side of the 1981 single "Computer Love", so EMI changed it to the A-side. I like this recording because it looks so archaic, and only about 40 years ago.

Oh man, these were a lot of fun to listen to. My college roommate introduced me to Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis about a gazillion year ago. It feels that long since I've listened to either one of them, so thank you for sharing!
You're welcome! Yeah, I listen to Vangelis, too, but for this post, I was actually thinking about which one I would post, Michel Jarre or Vangelis. Well, then I somehow decided on Jean Michel Jarre.😎
That's a quality trio of Electronica there my friend, I have not listened to either Jean Michel Jarre or Kraftwerk in a long time and I will change that tomorrow, so thanks for the inspiration. The Oxygene part 4 is quality too, again a long time since I saw it. Finished of your set then with the genius of Kraftwerk, who although well known, are still under rated in my opinion.
Yes, I'm sure there are more very good ones, but when I started writing this I had Vangelis in mind and Brian Eno's Nerve Net, but they're more ambient and I stuck with those.
