Blaqk AudioMy musical preference is changing, or expanding. Not sure which word is more fitting for how I feel now. Lately I have been more and more interested in purely electronic music. Not sure where it started, but I think I got bored with the Japanese Electronic scene(or simply discovered everything that could be discovered from that country). Random bands from other countries pop up. I already listened to bands like L’ame Immortelle or Lights of Euphoria, but bands from the same genre(or similar genres), seem to catch my interest. I remember I couldn’t really listen to this type of music when I was younger.
For example, I have been listening to yade a lot. Apparently, his music could be labelled as goth music(something I wouldn’t guess from his image, or even the sound of his music), but based on the type of people it attracts, I suppose it is goth. I really like the simple dark electronic layers used in his music. His voice has a well-done effect(I am guessing it’s an effect, I could be wrong, sorry if that is the case). Its catchy, but not accessible. Its easy music to listen to.
Another band I discovered is Blaqk Audio. I guess they are a synthpop band, not sure how to label them otherwise. EBM sounds out of place, and the compositions are too poppy for that. I listened to them and really like their sound. Accesible and catchy(hm..). I got confused when I discovered members of AFI formed this project. I know AFI from long ago, and I hated them. Suddenly years later I enjoy a new project made by partly the same members. Its funny how a music taste develops, and how you can be tricked when you don’t know the members of the band(or how you get prejudiced when you do know the members of a band). I guess I should give AFI another try too..
I got introduced to Esti via someone I know online. Different than the other artists I mentioned, but this Korean write really catchy melodies for the DJ Max games. I have never played those games, but songs like Oblivion(and the Nien remix!), Ray of Illumaniti, never seem to bore. It’s a fine example of another electronic act that I am enjoying.
So yea..interesting developments. Who knows I will listen to hiphop too one day. Reminds me that someone recommended me to try Dr Dre’s earlier albums. Anyway, I guess EBM and similar genres have my interest now. Time to try some more artists from this genre..
