Armenian electronic music

[arteom]

Hello,

Most of my listening outside Armenian music is in the electronic genre; techno, downtempo, lounge, electro, house, IDM, experimental. I am not the biggest fan of vocals, but am not apposed to them completely. In Armenian music I listen to mostly older/traditional music, I don't like the pop acts much.

I have heard Ara Gevorkian - Ani, which I think is a really great album and every Armenian needs to have it in their collection. I have recently bought Armen Chakmakian - Caravan, which is good as well. I would really like to hear something that blends quality (death to pop/trance ) electronics with traditional Armenian sounds. Does such music exist?

What's wrong with trance? It's probably the best electronica sub genre.

Re: Armenian electronic music

italo is nice, disco in general is a very good sound. IDM is very nice, and so much in it. Recently I have also been listening to modern classical, many great compositions in that genre. I have found an album - The Komitas Project - Es El Yes Em, that perhaps falls in the modern classical genre. http://www.cdrama.com/products/ES_EL_YES_EM-2406-0.html If you have soulseek give me your user name and I can send you that album, its very good. I would really like to hear more like it, but a little more electronics wold be great.

trance is just too easy, its made to please the masses, its thoughtless, it lacks substance. most of it is cheese. it is perhaps a good gateway into electronic music but thats all I would give it, its nowhere near the best electronic music sub-genre.

Sorry bro but most music is thoughtless and for the masses, it really depends on how you want to feel at a particular time and what music gives it to you.

As for other genres of electronica, house is good, progressive house, chill, and some minimal, otherwise hardcore stuff makes me feel like a robot from bladerunner or something, kindy creeps me out. :P

electronic music can be very personal and thought provoking. also electronic music is not limited to dance music, but even in dance there is allot of quality music that has something to it, something new you can hear every time you listen. if you are interested i can upload some music to a fileshare site for you.
