Thanks for all the replies, I will be checking some I haven't heard in the next couple of days. Any more recommendations anyone, now the full line has been finalised?

Cheers!

New Build

Yeah, I like them a lot thansk and think I will check em out.

... I am going to be spending so much time at Williams Green this year!

[dingbat2]

Loving Elite Force at the mo - sounding very Prodigy (Fat of the Land era)

Great sound

[Fragile Battleship]

Sorry to bump my own thread, but threads disappear from the front page and get lost at this time of year!

Any more recommendations out ther please? Intrigued by Mountains at the moment, opening the JP stage on Friday, but I've only heard one good chilled 10 minute song from them so far, and can't find anything else from them at the moment

Anymore for anymore?!

Cheers my little Glasto ferrets!

Bad news for you I'm afraid. I got excited when you mentioned Mountains as they're great and hadn't spotted them on the lineup. But I think you may have miss read the line up page. The band playing is "Francois and the Atlas Mountains' but because they have a long name 'Mountains' dropped onto the next line making it look like another band.

The Other Tribe got brought up in this thread, and they just dropped a new track. Here it is:

Evening all! I thought I would wait til the full line up was announced, especially Williams Green, before I bumped my thread from last year!

So, from the full line-up , what electronica would you recommend for me this year, based on my tastes in my original post from last year?

All help greatly appreciated, as it was last year...

[TheSeventhOne]

Judging by your original post I reckon Chromeo, Little Dragon, John Talabot, East India Youth, CHVRCHES and Jon Hopkins would be right up your alley.

[mikeydredlox]

James Blake

Bonobo

Four Tet

Goldfrapp

Massive Attack

Mogwai

John Grant

Jagwar Ma

[jeffie]

Metallica, very electronic

[plaskins]

You know Ulrich Schnauss are playing.

Damn it. Took me a while to realise this thread was started for last year's festival. Got a little excited. Oh well

[Memory Man]

east india youth is indeed brilliant, and new build again, they feature about 3 of hot chip.

[LondonTom]

east india youth is indeed brilliant,

God no! Awful supporting Wild Beasts the other week, just literal noise!

[rockgodbob]

I believe Alison Moyet is doing an electronic set on the acoustic Stage on sunday evening

[stuartbert two hats]

New Build are on again. Mogwai aren't particularly electronic, but have the repetition thing going on.

John Grant's latest album is quite synthy. 2 Bears are more electronic, but they do have words, so might be up your street? However they oddly only seem to be doing DJ sets this year.

Jon Hopkins is totally electronic, but he's hardly techno, lots of delicate synth work going on there. Might be worth a listen?

More along the lines of what you mentioned in the OP, Little Dragon + MGMT are playing.

FYI 2 Bears were advertised as playing their first ever live set this year at Bestival, so it's hardly odd...

That explains it. The bit that I found odd was a Dj set being at such a high position on The Park.

[Tuna]

It's before Four Tet isn't it? Definitely setting a vibe.

[Time Being]

Machinedrum is doing a live band show in the Glade on Saturday night

[willsnewman]

That explains it. The bit that I found odd was a Dj set being at such a high position on The Park.

The Stonebridge Bar performance on the Thursday night doesn't say DJ set. Will it still be a DJ set?

[siblin]

Chromeo are very much on the dance pop end of the synth/electronic spectrum.

Of course goldfrapp are a must!

[dingbat2]

Last call please for Synthesizer/electronic music recommendations!

Any tips are greatly appreciated, because I am well behind on my studying of the line-up this year, and checking our the bands lower down the line-up!

[dingbat2]

Liking Coves, East India Youth, Bonobo, temples, white lies, PSB, Goldfrapp, Fyugi and Myagi (or whatever they are called, conman mockasin at the moment

[dingbat2]

Sorry to bump my own thread again, but can anyone recommend stuff of this years line up that fits the bill - I am going through it as we speak...

Thanks!
