RE: What Electronica is Inspiring your Looping



Loop Guru's Wisdom of the Idiots for some Indian grooves;
Kruder & Dormeister -The K& D Sessions -I assume that counts, for some chill out grooves;
Still dig Phaedra by Tangerine Dream -which may or may not count for "electronica" in the modern sense
Ulrich Schnauss' A Strangely Isolated Place is simple but beautiful
The Sensualists are ( or were) a local Portland based band that put out a great disc back in '99 that crossed electronica w/ happy, TomTomClub like music -loved her line "...nothing like making out in the shower"
Oh, yeah.
