Electroclash Collection




An electronic genre that some would say favors style over substance, but has a lot of substance for all of that style. With the exception of Fischerspooner and perhaps Ladytron, very few of the mainstays of the genre are all that popular in the mass media awareness - which is a shame. Its a genre that offers a lot of creativity and a great energy. It fuses punk, new wave and electronic elements to form a sublime and twisted pleasure.

  1. !!! - Heart of Hearts
  2. Chicks on Speed - Eurotrash Girl
  3. Junkie XL feat. Electrocute - Mad Pursuit
  4. Ladytron - Seventeen
  5. Le Tigre - What's Your Take on Cassavettes?
  6. Miss Kittin - Playmate of the Century
  7. Robots in Disguise - Hot Gossip

i ended up checking the tunes out separately last night...

i already told you i was a chicks on speed fan, so i loved that pick.

it appears i'm going to have to look further into miss kittin because i really dug her tune.

i'm also somewhat surprised by the ladytron song. i had heard a lot of their stuff before, but never cared for it. i've found myself listening to this song a few times already so i'll probably give them another shot now.

Thanks for the response. While I'm pretty eclectic in tastes this is the main genre I use for 'fun' listening. Something great in the car or while I'm working and need something that fills in nicely with everything else.
