Well... instead of describing in detail what is Cyberpunk music to me, I thought it would be better to post some YouTube links here so I can express my opinion better, lol, it's the music that I would like to focus on more than the actual visuals, but anywhoo...

"Breathe" by the Prodigy

You are a musician?

Me also! Have a listen to some of my stuff... it is very cyberpunk inspired, although I don't know if it will sound like anyone else's impression of what "cyber" means to them.

Our songs are about armies of genetically engineered mutants trained to conquer the world, and about demons and Cthulhu, and about war-driving and hacking wireless grids, dodging black ICE etc... the one on our mySpace page called "Gomi No Sensei" has the title taken from the short story the Winter Garden, and is about scavengers coming up from the underground at night to forage, once the atmosphere no longer shields the earth from deadly solar radiation.

the band is called Veterans of Future Wars, you can listen to our stuff here:

I am new here and I feel bad for only talking about my band so far... oh and kicking the RIAA's ass... that's good... anyway you asked and my own music is the best way I can tell you what cyberpunk sounds like to me. Our stuff is a little more industrial though; I have a mental/sonic impression of "pure" cyber music that is a little more synth-pop than what I tend to do with this band.

Nice links there Fargo!
I love Orbital, Tiesto and the Prodigy. Although I think the Original Faithless' Insomnia is better than the DJ Venom (not Tiesto) remix. My favourite remix is probably the 'Donatis' remix.

Yeah, I think that most music would be anykind of industrial, or maybe something like a fusion of electro with heavy metal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4C5G2ua0Z8

Probably stuff by Sister Machine Gun or Mortiis, is what it could sound like in the future.

Cool links to JcDenton. Have you got any tracks up, or just starting out?

At the other end of the spectrum is my electronic ambient piece 'offworld'.

I agree with your picks Fargo, though I like Faithless' version of Insomnia better.

the Prodigy is a must for me, They incorporate the Techno and the Punk when I think of the genre.

Old school techo is also valid, Messiah and Acen come to mind.




edit: Now reading the replies I see illusivemind agrees with my post, or rather I agree with illusivemind's post.

For me cyberpunk music means music with a lot of dark "machine" sound (not techno, but industrial and dark electro!) and lyrics about machines, virtual reality, feelings, etc... One of the icons of cyberpunk music for me are NIN, here you have one very very good clip:

the Hand That Feeds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0JfKZ6xaVE

Another band that is my personal favourite is Hocico. Dark electro industrial band from Mexico that was one of the first bands making this kind of aggressive and energetic music since the beginning of the 90’s. Their albums are a little bit different one from other, but they all have this dark feeling typical for Hocico and they all are electronic. Here you have 4 clips from different albums, the last one has bad quality:

Instincts Of Perversion (from “Signos De Aberracion”):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wxJ5ANDZjw&mode=related&search=

Odio En El Alma (from “Odio Bajo El Alma”):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sfyFApXrjk&mode=related&search=

Untold Blasphemies (from “Signos De Aberracion”):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0POUHYET3rQ

Hell On Earth (from “Odio Bajo El Alma”):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UVepAEPjfk&mode=related&search=

Enjoy Thumbs Up

Wow, nice Isamashii. Love the genre-blending.

For me the harder edge, punk/industrial tone fits well with older cyberpunk but is too harsh for the soundtrack of the future (neo-cyberpunk Wink). Though I may be in a minority there.

I don't know what this "electro" genre is.

Could someone please post an example...

Electro is obviosly electronic music. I mean music generated by computers, synthetizers, etc..it could be techno, trance, goth electro... If your cuestion was about dark electro, dark electro has nothing to do with the electro bands and it's a subgenre of the industrial music. Good examples of dark electro bands are God Module, Suicide Commando, Cephalgy, Agonoize, Aesthetic Perfection and more.
Here you have videos of some songs by dark electro bands:
God Module - Reverse Inversion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6G-Iij_h0s
Suicide Commando - Sterbehilfe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGveg5NVpxg&mode=related&search=
Agonoize - Sick:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjq93N6e5FE
Terminal Choice - Totes Fleisch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNSq44rWM40&mode=related&search=
