Talk:Electronic music
about half of this text comes from the "Electronic Music" page (2 leading caps instead of one); I've combined that info with the text here. However, the two articles claimed two different people to have produced the "earliest" electronic music; I've removed that claim for the phrase "early" instead; if someone can clarify the timeline in paragraph 2 a bit, please do so. --KQ
I added the reference hint for record labels and DJs as in some cases these can be more well known than the artists. -- PJL
Created the topic Electronic music/Art music (aka Electronic art music), for a detailed discussion of the more academic stuff (ie work by Reich, Stockhausen etc.) I hate the term "art" music, but it's better than "contemporary" (as I've heard some people call it.) -D
Is the Dust Brothers the producers or should the Chemical Brothers be added?
Wasn't Lux Aeterna a choral, not an electronic piece? (Although I believe some electronic distortion may have been added to the version on the 2001 soundtrack). -- The Anome
Dust Brothers are a seperate group. I believe they and the Chemical Brothers shared the same record label for some time, which was Astralwerks. (included it!) I think these artists need to be classified with their genres, and seperating out Artists/DJ's is redundant. I'm going to change it so undiff if you don't like the result.
Someone who knows should add something about Detroit in the history of electronic music as well as the current Electronic Music Festival.
Added the Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music link unobtrusively at the top of Genres. Although the descriptions of each genre on the link are definitely not from a NPOV, the samples and links from subgenre to subgenre are fantastic and more than make up for it. This is a necessity to the article; check it out and you'll see why. :)
Removed the following from the ext links section:
If you have some special interest in electronic music with non-western electronic approach, check Murat Ses Official Website to listen his unique sound http://linz.orf.at/gast/murat
Shameless self-promotion is all well and good, but not for the wikipedia, I'm afraid. --Camembert
Democracy for artists from ALL regions is the first important point in projects of this kind. It's a contribution of mine (Nicole Steans), writer for diverse publications and a biographer of Murat Ses, one of important progenitors of what we call World Music today (check Academie Charles Cros, Grand Prix du Disque, Paris 1970 for 'Danses et Rythms de la Turquie d'hier au'jourd'hui, talk to people). Put his name to a search engine and be informed. You cannot assume a contribution as promotion as long as you are not in a commercial publication or do you have something similar in mind. That's NOT for Wikipedia. Sorry if Murat does not match your personal standards. You surely have right to remove something but without such comments to justify your handling.
