Oh man that record was really big with the IDM list when it came out. Jan Jelinek never disappoints.

So is microhouse one of those genres where the name is completely nondescriptive?

not completely, as the micro in its name is clearly a reference to its minimalism and usage of very short samples.

Focus, oh yeah! The Dutch Jethro Tull. Well… we can’t have that going down without Golden Earring:

I suppose I should display a little Danish pride then…

‘Gasolin’ was hot as shitz when I was a teen. The guitar player was a total Hendrix freak:

D.A.D. (aka. Disneyland After Dark, before Disney’s lawyers intervened) is one of the consistently great Danish bands through decades:

‘Nephew’ is another well know band, very inventive. This by the way is a good look at things, when Roskilde Festival is really cooking:

‘Kashmir’ was a pretty good band, and for this one they persuaded Bowie to sing a part:

And of course - The Raveonettes, which is the only thing y’all would have heard about of any of these:

Let’s have another one from them:

Do you know Flod? Although they’ve only made one record and it’s much better live but having seen them in concert, their… post-folk/rock/alt might make them my favourite Danish band. Greetings from Kolding :wink: Now, I’m from ze country of Krautrock and Kraftwerk but Hamburger Schule is what I like to share re: German music.

and featuring one of the best basslines this side of disco:

Cool! Never heard that phrase before, but I quite like the first ‘Kante’ piece. Reminds me a lot of the stuff that ‘Nephew’ is doing, very nice. My favorite German music remains the first album from Nina Hagen, the first album from Spliff, and then of course all the wonderful electronic music, chiefly Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, and a bit of the krautrock as well, like the best of Popul Vuh and Can. I’ve never heard of ‘Flod’, do you have a link?

Yeah, Flod aren’t exactly big - and quite possibly disbanded. Which is a shame.
