Quote from Cozmo D;65063

I mind you saying that I am not interested in something as if you know me or can read my mind. .

I'm rely on your responses and find out your knowledge about subject.

Quote from Cozmo D;65063

as these people made very different types of music. .

which exactly?

Quote from Cozmo D;65057

Louis Barron, Bebe barron, Paul Beaver, Bernie Krause, Wendy Carlos, Benjamin Folkman, Rachel Elkind...

and how you call their music?

Quote from Cozmo D;65057

Don't know what this proves or why i should have to prove anything to you anyway.

it just small talk, as we chat, I'll understand what your's knowledge background, if you don't mind.

Quote from Cozmo D;65057

Bottom line is, I borrowed very little from Kraftwerk and my music sounds very little like Kraftwerk. My rhythmic structure is my own, which is why there is not one group out there that sounds similar to my work. You can call my music Electro if you want, I really am glad that you do, but to say that I follow a formula that was started by Kraftwerk is not true!

is there anything in common between your music that brings together the same title for it?

Quote from Cozmo D;65036

Are you talking about EM in general, or some make believe genre that you think existed?

in general

Quote from Cozmo D;65033

Newcleus, Featuring Cozmo & The Jam-On Production Crew. - "Jam-On Revenge". 1983

That's when MY structure was born to the public! Show me ANY other track that followed a formula similar to mine!

If it's first in history, then KW was first.

Quote from Cozmo D;65031

EM is a 60 year old term? Get outta here! LOL! Electronic Music as a vague term for... Electronic Music, yes. But as a genre? Please!

And who are you to say that I am not interested in Electronic Music? I bet that I was studying and seeking it out before you were born!

So why you don't know history of it? Prove it, say the names of most famous americans in EM, before i was born

Quote from Cozmo D;65028

I was using a Brooklyn street rockin' structure.

Ok what's the first track with the Brooklyn street rockin' structure?

Quote from Cozmo D;65023

And when did these terms develop? 20 years ago? Maybe? The track is over 30 years old and when it was released it was considered Disco. Calling it whatever you want now will NEVER CHANGE THAT FACT!!!

more then 60 years ago. You don't know it, because you don't interest in EM, that side what you know from 70s just a pop side pushing by KW.

Quote from Cozmo D;65017

Frankly, I never did care but so much for labels, and never really tried to fit our music into genres. We were making music that we liked that we figured would make people dance.

All musicians say it

Quote from Cozmo D;65017

However... "Jam On Revenge", "Jam On It", "Destination Earth", "I'm Not A Robot" were all mostly Funk inspired. "No More Runnin'" was more R&B inspired. "Automan" was atraight up New Wave, and "Computer Age" was probably the only track that could be called mostly Electro inspired, as I definitely borrowed plenty of ideas from "Numbers" for it.

You mostly used electro rhythmic structure, that different from funk rhythmic structure. "No More Runnin'" was more R&B inspired. - Yep, not electro. No matter what music you was inspered, matter what happened.

Quote from Cozmo D;65020

You can call it whatever you want now, but I'm telling you that when it came out it was considered Disco.

Absolutely not, it's called EM, not exactly Berlin School, but it's KS!

Quote from elektroakust.;65000

No one wonders if "Sharevari" or other early 4-to-the-floor tracks
usually listed as early Techno classics are "Electro", right?

Disco-Techno maybe?

Laurent Garnier call it first detroit techno track, and second is "Alley of your Mind"

Quote from Cozmo D;64993

I never called my music Electro either.

How you called it? Funk, Boogie, Hip Hop or something else?

Quote from binalog;64986

Would you please stop it, man? Your english is ridiculously awful plus you keep trying to justify your confusion about electro by laying down lame definitions while insulting people who dare to have different opinions than yours

Yes it's bad. If you don't like something you can stay away and keep your confusion alive!

Quote from Cozmo D;64985

Interesting point. Do you consider Newcleus Electro?

yes, some tracks, but I don't heard all of it. You can made tracks in different style, like KW.

Midnight Star - Engine No. 9 -- boogie/funk

Newcleus-Destination Earth -- electro

To lj: if electro exist as music style, it have defenition by default, like other music styles. It can't be something unknown like Cozmo D wrote: "Electronic dance music with a Funk beat rhythm with an emphasis on synthetic sounds." Electro haven't funk beat, it have electro beat! Dam-funk playing - "Electronic dance music with a Funk beat rhythm with an emphasis on synthetic sounds" - but it's not electro, it's just synthesizer funk with of course funk beat, because it's FUNK! Also i can hear any funk at music of Exzakt, Grow, Adapta etc. I can understand opinion of Cozmo D (why he think in this way), but don't yours.

Quote

Electro: Electronic dance music with a Funk beat rhythm with an emphasis on synthetic sounds.

Disco: Dance music based on a quarter beat kick drum rhythm, usually defined by the era in which it was created ('70s).

Disco also can be Electronic dance music with a Funk beat rhythm with an emphasis on synthetic sounds! or you think that not?

Quote from Cozmo D;64973

Is that not considered Electro? Or are you joking?

JA never call his music as electro by the way, and technoheads marked Cybotron as techno music. Also want to know what about "Techno city"?

Quote from Cozmo D;64957

Electro: Electronic dance music with a Funk beat rhythm with an emphasis on synthetic sounds.

Disco: Dance music based on a quarter beat kick drum rhythm, usually defined by the era in which it was created ('70s).

It is about nothing, too general. And probably you don't hear about nu disco hype?

So house will be: Dance music based on a quarter beat kick drum rhythm, usually defined by the era in which it was created ('80s-90s-00s-10s)?

Quote from Cozmo D;64950

Oh, so TEE IS Electro now? You guys need to come to some kind of consensus!

When i say that isn't

Quote from Cozmo D;64950

Ridiculous! To say that an entire genre of music is based on one simple 1 bar drum pattern is utterly stupid (yes, I said it again). And what is more, THE DAMM THING EVEN HAS THE BEAT WRONG!. "Numbers" is a 2 bar pattern that goes "Kick-snare-kick-snare-kick-snare-kick-kick-snare.

Not one pattern, this is basis around which build all possible interpretation. "kick-snare-kick-kick-snare-kick" - it's a formula of electro break! or I'm wrong and this formula isn't consist in every electro track? What the different between funk rhythm puttern and electro, or they are the same for you?

Quote from Cozmo D;64950

I didn't characterize Disco and Electro as stupid, I characterized the articles that you cut and pasted as stupid. And they ARE! Seriously, any dimwit can contribute to a wiki article, which is obviously what has happened in those 2 cases.

OMG I uderstood you. Please again, write here right/correct defenition of electro and disco!

Quote from DJR21;64947

Man Machine ?
Music Non Stop ? (808 drum machine btw)
Its more fun to compute ?
Not electro ?

Why not You understand that these tracks electro, so am i, enough to listening, so what's different between our point?
