What ever happened to electronic music?

I like Klaus Schulze's work, and I indirectly got into his music through Kraftwerk. Have you ever heard of Wolfgang Riechmann and his album, Wunderbar? It came out in 1978, and it reminds me in some ways of Schulze's earlier work, as well as Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, and other German musicians of that time.

When I think of electronic music, I tend to think of music with ambient type sounds, or Kraftwerk related sounds. I'm not into electronic dance music, dubstep, or other recent trends, although I can't say I've listened to much of it at all. I prefer to listen to earlier electronic music, around the time it was still a new, ground-breaking phenomenon.

Interpol and Deutsche Bank, FBI and Scotland Yard. Business, numbers, money, people. Computer World.

Right. In the 70s electronic music was more music than electronic, but now it's, well, mostly du(m)bstep... It's not that old electronic music was still a new thing, it was still music.

We can't be lost; we don't know where we're going.
All that matters is that we're going.

And to rock?

We can't be lost; we don't know where we're going.

The stuff I don't get is that Martin Garrix style.

Martin seems to be moving from this style. If you hear Gold Skies or Oussama the sound it's very different from Animals and Wizard. I don't know if it's better or original at all but it's different from what his famous for.

The kid also has some tracks under the pseudonym "GRX" which are very different as well, but those haven't received publicity, not even through his Twitter and FB accounts.
