What do you listen to when you hear techno or electronic music?
Many times I’ve noticed different friends notice different parts of music. Some people notice the guitar or drums, others always listen to the words, etc. I’ve noticed I pay attention to the manner in which the sounds are manipulated when listening to electro or techno, but my friend swears she only pays attention to bass and words!
I think I’ve learned to listen to all parts individually. My wife noticed that I pick out the little weird sounds in normal music, like weird little background sounds. But with techno kind of music it really depends on the song, some songs I mainly listen to the bassline, others the lyrics, others the synth melodies like keyboard/piano stuff. The melodies can really get me going because thats a big thing I look for in music, like emotional and stuff, if a song just has a certain sound to it that makes it sound emotional, whether happy or sad, I’ll pick up on that mostly.

i’ve started listening to techno music when i heard my first one by Rave Til Dawn back in the 80’s. can’t seem to find many of their songs today though. what i look for in songs is a catchy beat like all others and i love the echo… when a sound or singer echoes in the song. i also like repetition in some songs, and ones that are different from others, so music like Cascada is just club/dance music to me that’s annoying but this is my opinion. i’m more into trance, yet i do still love Haddaway and Amber back in the 90’s. here are some samples that i like…
