* Bach, Mozart, Beethoven (get a complete works so it doesn't bore you after a while. There are many gems which are not known by the general public, like the famous BWV 565, etc.)
* Chiptunes (I recommend maktone and dubmood)
* Daft Punk, Ratatat
* Anything I know by heart -- I won't be distracted by the lyrics. This also works if you don't understand the lyrics
- tkahn6 16y agoWow that's exactly what I listen to. It's a good combination isn't it, electronica and classical?
- drx 16y agoIndeed. Can you list yours that I haven't listed already? One can never have enough. Edit: also, yeah. I thought my combo was pretty rare.
- ErrantX 16y agoI mix heavy metal and classical. Which usually raises eyebrows.
- albertzeyer 16y agoSame here (sometimes). Or even some mixed genre bands. You know Apocalyptica? There are also some similar bands (don't remember names right now, check out via Lastfm or so).
- philwelch 16y agoIt's actually a pretty popular mix, I've gathered. They are very similar styles of music in many ways.
- tkahn6 16y agoJustice, Digitalism, and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble Hypnotic Brass Ensemble isn't strictly electronica but their music is really cool (no words too). http://vimeo.com/1418890 http://vimeo.com/1418890 I have a Ratatat station and Justice station on Pandora which I've tuned individually over the past year.
- drx 16y agoGreat. I'm pretty much an omnivore when it comes to music... I'll listen to anything I like; there's hip-hop, movie/game scores, pop, rock, etc. in my playlists.
- daeken 16y agoWhen Miles Davis released his album Sketches of Spain (brilliant, if you haven't heard it), there was a huge controversy over whether or not it was "real jazz". He did an interview shortly thereafter, where he was asked what genre he'd put it into. His response was brilliant: "It's music, and I like it." I couldn't describe my own standpoint on what music I like any better than he did. While there are many genres in which I dislike the vast majority of the content, I'll give anything a shot and won't let a silly label stand in the way of liking something. I'm glad to see so many people on here feel the same; it always makes me cry on the inside to see listeners box themselves in.
- elblanco 16y agoI've found that Baroque composers work far better for me than older or newer work.
