Agressive Techno

I'll check it out. Don't worry about being a music arse. I'm going to be majoring in music in college, so I'm pretty sure I'll drive all my friends crazy. Sorry I classified Prodigy as techno, but I figured most people would get what I meant. :)

I'm a big fan of Prodigy, there aren't any bands that I think sound like them. How about some Industial music, I think that would be the closest. Check out Skinny Puppy, Leather Strip, 16 Volt, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pig Face, Hate Dept.

Might I suggest...Peaches, especially her album "The Teaches of Peaches." Her song "F### the Pain Away" is a classic. Also, the Lords of Acid have made some music along the lines of what you're talking about (their album "Our Little Secret" is especially good).

If anything else comes to mind, I'll post it later.

industrial...? similar to prodigy...? uh. ok. skinny puppy isn't exactly the first thing i think of when i think of the prodigy. don't get me wrong. i'm a big puppy fan, and i used to own cevin key's first band's album (when he was kevin crompton)...

anyway, glad you liked the panacea. as for prodigy, hmm. there were a few pretenders who tried to sound like prodigy around when they hit it big, but they've all fallen off now. most mainstream electronica is either of the "progressive house" and "trance" such as sasha or sander kleinberg, or it's the sick to your stomach syrupy nonsense like dj sammy (which was actually composed by sammy's 5 year old sister using fruity loops).

uh, anyway. if you want some stuff you don't have to think about, try www.thinnerism.com. i really mean this in a good way. thinner is possibly my favorite record label in the world, and all their music is free. i listen to it while driving. it's repetitious, and doesn't vary much, and is pretty minimal, but that's all i listen to nowadays. it does funny things to your head.

and it's really pleasant and calming, and you could dance to it too.

my personal favorite album is "vibrant forms II" by fluxion. it's on the chain reaction label. i'm not saying it's for everyone, but this album blew my brain out the back of my skull. it sounds funny to say it, but it altered my own personal time and space. it's that weird. ever trance out? this album will do it every time. mind altering, for sure. no drugs necessary, just an open mind.

yeah, thinner is the greatest. :D

unfortunately, i have yet to find an online label that surpasses them. i've explored their list of links to the fullest, but haven't happened across anything memorable.

you could explore www.scene.org

this is where thinner and a whole bunch of other artists store their music for FTP. it's not very descriptive though, and it's a trial and error kind of thing. most of the music is more IDM based, and i'm not really into that kind of thing for the most part.

and, yeah, that probably was me posting originally. when i found thinner i mentioned it just about everywhere i could think of.
