"Cyberpunk" music.

pbradley · 10.03.2008, 03:25 AM

Recently I've began reading William Gibson's Neuromancer. Also, by chance, I've also been listening to Massive Attack's "Angel" a lot again which, I feel, has a kind of cyberpunkish feel. So now I want more music that might compliment reading cyberpunk. I'm downloading Oval's 94DISKONT thinking some glitch might work? Anyways, you all know any music that kind of brings that kind of bleak techno dystopia feel?

nervous gender is good. same with the screamers.

Fluke & Underworld (mid 90's era)
Fluke's song Absurd has been used in basically every cyber-punkish movie (except the Matrix, for some reason)

Death & the Maiden · 10.03.2008, 06:34 AM

Certain Einstuerzende Neubauten songs: Das Schaben (nine minutes of industrial sounds), as well as less obvious ones like Schwindel, Fiat Lux (only some parts) and Der Kuss (maybe the most beautiful guitar solo ever, in a weird way). The last three always give me some weird nostalgia, often for the original 1963-1989 Doctor Who, sometimes for something I just can't grasp.

ZEROpumpkins · 10.03.2008, 06:50 AM

Yeah you'll get some pretty wickid German cyberpunk. I spose ATR could be considered it.

Death & the Maiden · 10.03.2008, 07:04 AM

According to Wikipedia, Daydream Nation is a Cyberpunk work.

the soundtrack to bladerunner by vangelis is burned into my mind as THE cyberpunk soundtrack

NWRA · 10.03.2008, 11:14 AM

noisereductions · 10.03.2008, 11:23 AM

haha, word.

If I even see the cover to a Gibson book I hear "SEVEN!" in my head, if y'know what I mean.

10.03.2008, 11:24 AM
