The “content” or meaning of the high-tech aesthetic had been a progressive ideal, optimistically conveying a future made better because of technology. Much of that futuristic romance has worn off now, when technology has become commonplace. – somewhere on the net.

note: A brighter electronica list than the one before. This one combines post-house electronica sound and Jazz/classic. Aphex Twin and Squarepusher being the famous experimentalists. Thievery Corporation embodies the electronica lounge’sound, adopting genres into electronica to create that international feel. I mix McCoy Tyner and new releases to make the point more interesting. Overall this list is very controlled and clean, almost non imposing. Sort of like well designed modern tools. My effort to inject edgier electronica form in standard MdM sound.
