Ever since Harald posted his list of all-time electro tracks, I've been
thinking about how good it would be to expand that idea into a larger
project. I am thinking along the lines of the sample list at the breaks site
in compiling a list of as many electro tracks, their artists, labels, etc.
as we all can come up with and putting them up on the web or something where
interested folks can browse and see what is out there, what has come before,
what they don't have, and, in the future, what those who contributed make of
the tracks, in the form of capsule reviews or something (sound bites?). My
aim here is to have as comprehensive a discography as I can put together
that traces from hip hop's toddlerhood to the present mutations and direct
descendants. If y'all could make lists of as many as you feel like (in the
best of all worlds, you would drag out your extensive collection and
transcribe the lot) and email them to me, I'll put it all together and come
back in a few with a url for the results and it's subsequent updates.
c-ya and tia,
