Joy Electric – Lift Up Your Hearts
Biography
Having experimented with live shows, formed countless after-school bands … , and recorded an album that was never to be released under the moniker Morella’s Forest with Randy Lamb, Ronnie and his brother Jason found their way onto Michael Knott’s fledgling label, Blonde Vinyl, with a dance album to produce, Songs and Stories.
After buying an old Akai sampler and a few synthesizers, Ronnie began crafting his own spin-off of current electronic “club” music. Still working with his brother Jason, Ronnie’s new band, Dance House Children, posited cold, hypnotic electronica against quaint, old-fashioned lyrics. After producing another album, Jesus, Dance House Children found Jason leaving to pursue his own musical endeavors, Starflyer 59.
With the help of a few friends, Ronnie turned from the club-oriented music to a more melodic, orchestrated sound. The range of instruments on his third album exploded, containing timpanis, Moog synthesizers, and far more exotic sounds than anything he had previously produced. It was evident that Martin was quickly moving beyond the level of pre-programmed keyboard sounds as he became more well-versed in the programming of his synthesizers.

one3rd, thanks. I do understand how it works. I am just saying that I don't agree. When artists are first plopped on Last.fm they are connected to most popular genres and other artists on their label. Tooth and Nail doesn't have any other artist like Ronnie, so, initially they are setup to have similar artists that sound nothing like them.

Saw an interview of The Drums and they mentioned JE, some of the best 21st century synth I've heard

silverlage, the similar artists are based on users' listening habits, not the tags. If you want an artist, such as Solvent, to show up as a similar artist, you'll have to convince a lot of people who listen to Joy Electric regularly to listen to them.

New album is fantastic!

Your music never ceases to amaze. I wonder what similar artists you would have if it wasn't based on the Christian tag? I would say Solvent would be one of the first artists listed. Sounds like a great project for one of your groups.

Curiosities And Such & Early Cubism Anyone know why these albums aren't on here?
-

It sure would be nice if the similar artists were really similar aside from Foxglove, Brothers M. and Fine China. Too bad the Christian tag is what carries the similar artist status.

JOY ELECTRIC not on Tooth&Nail ?

Joy Electric has been severely under rated over the years. I think The White Song book is among one of the most amazing all electronic albums of all time.

Would love to hear a Solvent JE collaboration one day.
