Thanks for the links, I checked them out - i am spoonbender sounds
interesting although I haven't heard the audio yet.
One thing is, though, that these seem to be all bands that use electronic
sounds as opposed to, well the opposite - an electronic foundation with
effected instruments and other electronic sounds layered on top. In the
second case (which is what I am looking for) the instruments act as voices,
sometimes primary sometimes not, and they don't have to be present in all
sections. I think there can also be a difference in approach (form, etc)
but not necessarily. Maybe I'm making a mistake with this distinction,
afterall I haven't heard this stuff yet! I just got the feeling from
info/photos on the websites that it's mostly band first and electronic to
fill/colour.
What do you think? Does anyone know of any groups who fit here?
