Electronic Sound is the best electronic music magazine in the world. In-depth coverage of the current scene, the pioneers, the machines, and the current thinking of the electronic music world.
In this month’s issue of Electronic Sound we’re talking revolution, the DIY revolution. Pinpointing the precise moment when recording music headed into the bedroom (clue: it was the appearance of the portastudio in the late 1970s), we talk pioneering spirit with the trailblazing Thomas Leer. Join us as he recalls his adventures in home recording alongside his old pal Robert Rental, and learn how the ability to release music into the wild suddenly ended up in the hands of everyone.
We are taking you to the outer limits with this month’s Electronic Sound. We’ve gone where no magazine has gone before to bring you the 50 Greatest Space Records, starting off in 1958 (the year that NASA began operations) and ending with a couple of corkers from 2018. Who’s on the list? A few of our old favourites of course – Kraftwerk, The Human League, Bowie, Eno, Tangerine Dream – but we have some surprises along the way too. Rat Scabies, for instance. Yes, that Rat Scabies, playing with a group who were signed to Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, would you believe.
This month’s cover feature offers a unique insight into the world of Underworld, as we spend the day with Karl Hyde and Rick Smith at their remote HQ in the rural wilds of East Anglia. From 1994’s epic ‘Dubnobasswithmyheadman’, with its mysterious black and white sleeve art, to 2016’s much acclaimed ‘Barbara Barbara, We Face A Shining Future’, there’s long been something special about Underworld, something about their life-affirming melodies, beats and poetry that connects them to people all over the world. By the way, if you look closely at our magazine cover, you might find that there’s a little bit more to it than first meets the eye. Almost 1,000 words more, in fact.
The new issue of Electronic Sound finds us in a celebratory mood as we mark the 40th anniversary of Kraftwerk’s masterpiece, ‘The Man-Machine’. Released in May 1978, ‘The Man-Machine’ sounded the starting pistol for electronic music revolution in pop and in this month’s cover feature we look at how Kraftwerk taught their machines to sing. Over 14 pages we offer a glimpse into the making of a record that tackles how humans and technology co-exist, examine the predictions contained on ‘The Man-Machine’ to see how prescient Ralf and co were with their ideas of the future four decades ago and reveal the inspiration behind that iconic cover image… Elsewhere, we find the excellent Chris Carter in fine fettle as we discuss his new album, ‘Chris Carter’s Chemistry Lessons Volume One’, which is, incredibly, his first solo long-playing in 17 years. Worth the wait? You bet it is.
The new issue of Electronic Sound finds us in Berlin, yet again. This time round we’re taking a look at the past, present and future of a total Berlin institution – Tangerine Dream. Of Germany’s two schools of electronic music (the other being in Düsseldorf/Cologne of course), the music coming out of Berlin was all about texture and mood, it was spacey, drifting and ambient, which was no surprise when you consider at the time West Berlin was a city where young men were exempt from national service. Coupled with cheap rent, the place quickly filled with those whose idea of fun didn’t include serving in the army, but did rather involve creating the nation’s counterculture. And in Tangerine Dream’s case, they did that with synthesisers.
