Electronic Music Decoded

Electronic music is an enigma to the bulk of the population. Even those who have dabbled in that water, like myself, are still easily confused as to the plethora of styles and their origins.

Do not despair! Our day of awakening has come! Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music is a helpful and entertaining page dedicated to clearing away the fog. From the main page one can select a number of basic categories of electronic music. You are then lead to a 'tree chart' of sorts which chronologically traces the lineage of each unique sound. The whole page is interactive, allowing one to click on an area of interest to learn more and hear a representative sample of that genre.
