i still remember my first joy electric album. The Tick Tock Treasury. I keep coming back to Joy Electric. there is just no other band like them. awesome.
I love Joy Electric.. my dad (a christian music salesmen) introduced me to them ... shit probably mid 90's. Loved them ever since.. unique, fun, and a hint of sadness, perfect combination. Ultrabeat is another one to check out, but I'm not sure what youtube has to offer in that department. It's more techno/dance but worth the time in my opinion!
I have a question about Joy Electric. Is their style of music under Electronica or Techno? I have always wondered if someone can answer this it would be awesome.
@maxxpower17 Thanks I appreciate the help on this, and although the lead singer is the main genius isn't their a drummer and a guitarist. I remember seeing a video on here that shows two other people. In all fairness I think they need a little credit for their parts right. Have you heard him in the Foxglove Hunt band with the lead singer of Fine China( sorry I'm not to good with names and I forgot both of theirs lol). I like that band they rock in it.
When Ronnie performs live Fine China main man Rob Withem plays the drums, and when The Foxglove Hunt performs live Mr. Martin plays the drums, while Rob plays the guitar. I assure you however that Ronnie Martin pretty much does everything in Joy Electric. In the first couple of albums Ronnie had some help from Jeff Cloud, but by the time Ronnie started with his "Legacy" project Jeff was gone. Hope that helped.
@maxxpower17 Hey thanks again for the help but I'm still curious on one of Joy Electrics live videos here on YouTube it showed Ronnie Martin had a drummer and a guitarist does this mean they where just back up for that performance or what?
@maxxpower17 Dude just look up their song Sugar Rush on YouTube and it should show the live performance I'm talking about. I said on guy is playing guitar but I messed up it's a keytar not a guitar. Anyways you'll see what I'm talking about when I say two other guys in Joy Electric.
I checked out the video mate. Back then Ronnie had a lot more help when he performed live, one of the guys was Jeff Cloud and the other guys I'm not quite sure. After time Ronnie started using a sequencer which he controlled and Rob Withem would play the drums.
@maxxpower17 Cool so I see what your saying now. Even though Ronnie had help live he pretty much produced all the music right. Man that's what I call talented. God sure blessed this man with it to be able to do all of this basically on his own. That pretty cool if you ask me.
It's definitely awesome and he's definitely awesome. Ronnie's the number #1 influence and inspiration in my music. I make synthpop music with analog synthesizers and "cheesy" analog sounds, and if it wasn't for Ronnie's music I wouldn't be were I am now.
Nah dude. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a vocalist, they seem to be pretty rare these days for some reason, especially female vocalists. If you want I could show you a song but it won't have vocals, and to be honest my songs were tailor made for huge vocal melodies.
Okay for one: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Those of you who like this music: why are you even letting disparate opinions bother you? If someone dislikes something you like, it's really none of your business, even if they're jerks about it. One the other hand, however, you guys saying you don't like this music don't need to be so snotty about it.
Now, can we all go back to simply commenting like civilized people?
absolutely brilliant, this!! The music is like a masterful continuation of Kraftwerk. The video pays direct homage to Kraftwerk (man-machine, numbers, 80s digital imagery). The singing reminds me of that mid-80s "early gothic" style such as Xymox, and Cabaret Voltaire. I'm an old schooler and I LOVE THIS SONG!!
Daring music imho. I almost always enjoy JE, this initially put me off, it sounded pretty over the top. But that is the point of the song I think, enjoying music or art requires us to let ourselves go and leave our inhibitions about sound and sensibility behind. Ronnie is a thoughtful musician and is far past the point of making music just to win short term approval. He is taking an old genre and finding ways to be a trailblazer while keeping songs down to simply, enjoyable hooks.
I believe this song could rightly stand as the greatest testament to the beauty and genius of electronic instruments in the history of music. With a swollen heart I vow that Ronnie Martin will live on as one of the most treasured and unsung heros of his musical generation. God bless you Ronnie. Your efforts do not fall on deaf ears.
The first few notes that he actually sang were surprising to say the least, and at first I really didn't like his voice. Definitely an acquired taste... but I acquired it within the first few seconds :) Holy WOW! Many, many, many thanks to the man who directed me here!
Free energy technology exists!But Millions are spend in supressing that information,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Big change is comming soon!
I agree with jjmini, Ronnie from JE has been doing his stuff for yrs , fantastic synthpop, unique to only him , even empire of the sun has borrowed some of Ronnies sound , never get sick of JE
I'm not afraid of what electricity made, I LOVE IT! :) I didn't like this song or album at first like Ronnie's other works, but it grew on me. I love this track and Only Copernicus.
If anything i think it's his natural voice...anyone who sings into a mic knows what im saying...since Ronnie is a pureist, it makes sense that his vocals be unscathed like his synths...Ronnie is not the best singer in the world, but his melodies and artistry is unparallel
I love it. Everyone seems to be pretty damn critical of his voice. I like it. It is different which is something joy e,ectric has always been. Different. If he started playing what everyone thought he should sound like then he wouldnt be an artist. He would be a puppet. You guys need to lighten up and learn how to enjoy music,
If you hates the music, why are you even here listening to it?
I totally hate Kate Perrys so-called music and think that it is an insult to every person with a bit of taste. But I don't go to her videos here and say to all her fans: "Kate Perry sucks, how can you idiots listen to her!" So shut up if you don't have anything meaningful to say.
@Grahnen15 well some people are looking for new kinds a music.. so not everyone that comes here already knows him... and btw.. kate perry sucks i agree with you haha

Hmmm...Ok if you didn't immediately kill yourself right after you wrote this comment i think god might kill you himself. First of all have you even listened to what the fuck he's saying? Actually, his voice is so incredibly shaky and awful i couldn't really make out much of it. Plus, i could only stand to listen to it for about 30 seconds before i laughed my ass because this guy probably thought he was actually making music. Also, the piece of shit excuse for techno music in the background.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
holy shit calling me a 12 year old when you spelled "you're" "yr". Wow did you even think for 5 seconds before you wrote that? And bravo you took the time find out what genre of music this sorry excuse for music is. Oh, and experimenting is good... When you realize what in the fuck sounds and what doesn't. How in fucks name did this guy think this voice sounded anywhere near able to listen to without cracking up.
Nice having no come back for the rest of the shit i said, and i keep hearing this "get over yourself". What the hell is that supposed to mean? How is acknowledging this shit as the worst music ever make me full of myself? I'm sure plenty of others think the way i do. I'm all for originality but if this is the direction new music is going to take, then i'm done listening to music. "Death of orginality" is good by the way. Too bad it perfectly describes this.
Pearl Jam mostly, Green Day a little bit. Flowbots, Metallica, rap that actually has some meaning, Muse (their music sounds good.. vocals.. not so much..) absolutely no country.. That might be worse than this. No I take that back. And a random assortment of songs from different artists but the ones i said are what i mostly listen to. Why? Oh i am to against just going to watch a video then bad mouthing it. The thing is my friend told me to watch it while he was trying to stop laughing.
personally i think eddie veddar sounds like a goat on steroids, BUT im not going to tell you to go kill yourself because you listen to what i consider shitty music.

Do you actually listen to this idiot or do you just turn off the volume and assume he sounds descent? You think PJ sucks and not this? DIE
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And im ending the argument here, cause this is completely pointless considering we aren't even in front of each other so that we could have a real argument or to beat your ass so i have to say i like some types of what ever kind of music this is. Synthesizers and shit. Like faunts. im sure you've heard of them... The difference between this and faunts is that..well quite simply this just is awful in every aspect. the only thing i could say for this shit is the backgrounds and colors are ok.seeya
techno doesn't suck. now YOUR not being open-minded. its all a matter of opinion. and, seriously, if synth pop is similar enough to techno to be mistaken for it, then they must sound alike. and if so, then this song sounds similar to "sucky" music. is that what youre trying to say?
I seriously can't watch this without laughing. 1] the video itself looks like something from a homemade Matrix movie and 2] I don't get the song in the least. But don't get me wrong, I like JE. This video just makes me giggle. X3 It's surprisingly catchy too. =o
First JE I owned was a cassette of We Are The Music Makers...the vocals on this song sound like his live vocals. After following JE for 12 years, I have to think he's doing these vocals on purpose for some artistic purpose.
Ronnie is a great artist and JE has had the longevity it has enjoyed because of a faithful following of listeners that refuse to settle for cookie-cutter-spam-music. sure... there is a place for such music. But JE has always delivered the goods. His voice is not be the best. If his voice does annoy you, don't try to convince others of what bothers you. just move on and find something you do like. I for one enjoy his voice. it's raw and not run through auto-tuners like most pop artist these days.
Joy Electric is, in fact, a great artist. His voice is proof that he's not willing to conform to idiots who think the new bands on Tooth & Nail are talented.
I think I know why his voice is may be like that. He's been making music for years now, so his voice might be starting to age. I still however believe Ronnie is a talented guy. I do like this song.

"Hey! You know what would be funny? Let's get a really lame retro techno beat....THEN BURN SOME RETARDS TONGUE WITH HOT OIL AND GET HIM TO TRY AND SING IT!!!!"
Alright, then how about a giving a small child the most expensive steak ever. Do you think the child could savor the steak? Or would it be wasted because the child didn't "get" it? Or maybe the child would rather have some candy(underoath) instead of actually even wanting the steak in the first place
ok why don't you use an analogy that actually applys, i'm far from being an infant when it comes to music, i'll even admit i'm one of those annoying music elitists, quit acting like you have to be enlightened to like this voice, it's annoying and is the very reason he's only this big after years of work. I prefer Jónsi Birgisson's voice of Sigur Ros, now THAT'S a voice.
"it's annoying and is the very reason he's only this big after years of work."
No, it's because Ronnie doesn't want to be "big" and likes for his music to remain obscure that way he knows who his REAL fans are. Personally, I didn't hear anything wrong with the vocals. He really shows a lot of emotion in his voice in this song, more so than in a lot of his other songs.
He is different and unique. You should love him for playing to the beat of a different drum. He's also a Christian artist for those of you who don't know. 1999 album "Christian Songs".
Those of you who say that it's an insult to the Christian music community should rethink yourselves. Anything you do for God is great, no matter what others say. (as long as it fits with God's rules) Many missionaries were stoned because they wouldn't conform. DIFFERENT = GOOD
Come on people! Are you afraid of what electricity made? Just because you're not used to it or that you don't like it doesn't make it bad. I hate metal, I hate country. I don't go around slamming artist's music because of it.
Ronnie Martin is a true musician. A true inventor. Truly unafraid to do that which others couldn't. Everyone uses guitars, simple vocals, and drum and bass to make all of their music, If you're lucky you may get a keyboard too.
at least hes not hiding it with autotune like 99 percent of modern bands these days. There something to be said for people to go against the whole autotune trend these days. Its an acquired taste yes, as is synth pop. If you think this is bad, id wonder what you think of Gary Numan.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why is this whiny little punk singing? it sounds terrible... the rest of the song isn't all too bad, but the vocals just suck hardcore. If they got a new singer or this guy seriously worked on his vocals, they might be good.

Do you actually listen to this idiot or do you just turn off the volume and assume he sounds descent? You think PJ sucks and not this? DIE

And im ending the argument here, cause this is completely pointless considering we aren't even in front of each other so that we could have a real argument or to beat your ass so i have to say i like some types of what ever kind of music this is. Synthesizers and shit. Like faunts. im sure you've heard of them... The difference between this and faunts is that..well quite simply this just is awful in every aspect. the only thing i could say for this shit is the backgrounds and colors are ok.seeya

techno doesn't suck. now YOUR not being open-minded. its all a matter of opinion. and, seriously, if synth pop is similar enough to techno to be mistaken for it, then they must sound alike. and if so, then this song sounds similar to "sucky" music. is that what youre trying to say?
gernak00 3 years ago
im personally not a fan of super repetitive minimal warehouse music.
i love electronic music of all types. but techno is kind of boring.
and sure...it sounds similar...if you dont know the difference.
to people who arent into electronic, its all just *techno*.
so what im *trying* to say is,
if you dont like it, dont listen to it.
i dont like techno, but i dont go watch a bunch of techno videos just to insult the people who like it.

I seriously can't watch this without laughing. 1] the video itself looks like something from a homemade Matrix movie and 2] I don't get the song in the least. But don't get me wrong, I like JE. This video just makes me giggle. X3 It's surprisingly catchy too. =o

First JE I owned was a cassette of We Are The Music Makers...the vocals on this song sound like his live vocals. After following JE for 12 years, I have to think he's doing these vocals on purpose for some artistic purpose.

Ronnie is a great artist and JE has had the longevity it has enjoyed because of a faithful following of listeners that refuse to settle for cookie-cutter-spam-music. sure... there is a place for such music. But JE has always delivered the goods. His voice is not be the best. If his voice does annoy you, don't try to convince others of what bothers you. just move on and find something you do like. I for one enjoy his voice. it's raw and not run through auto-tuners like most pop artist these days.

Joy Electric is, in fact, a great artist. His voice is proof that he's not willing to conform to idiots who think the new bands on Tooth & Nail are talented.

I think I know why his voice is may be like that. He's been making music for years now, so his voice might be starting to age. I still however believe Ronnie is a talented guy. I do like this song.

Alright, then how about a giving a small child the most expensive steak ever. Do you think the child could savor the steak? Or would it be wasted because the child didn't "get" it? Or maybe the child would rather have some candy(underoath) instead of actually even wanting the steak in the first place

ok why don't you use an analogy that actually applys, i'm far from being an infant when it comes to music, i'll even admit i'm one of those annoying music elitists, quit acting like you have to be enlightened to like this voice, it's annoying and is the very reason he's only this big after years of work. I prefer Jónsi Birgisson's voice of Sigur Ros, now THAT'S a voice.
carstereobandits 3 years ago
"it's annoying and is the very reason he's only this big after years of work."
No, it's because Ronnie doesn't want to be "big" and likes for his music to remain obscure that way he knows who his REAL fans are. Personally, I didn't hear anything wrong with the vocals. He really shows a lot of emotion in his voice in this song, more so than in a lot of his other songs.

He is different and unique. You should love him for playing to the beat of a different drum. He's also a Christian artist for those of you who don't know. 1999 album "Christian Songs".
Those of you who say that it's an insult to the Christian music community should rethink yourselves. Anything you do for God is great, no matter what others say. (as long as it fits with God's rules) Many missionaries were stoned because they wouldn't conform. DIFFERENT = GOOD

Come on people! Are you afraid of what electricity made? Just because you're not used to it or that you don't like it doesn't make it bad. I hate metal, I hate country. I don't go around slamming artist's music because of it.
Ronnie Martin is a true musician. A true inventor. Truly unafraid to do that which others couldn't. Everyone uses guitars, simple vocals, and drum and bass to make all of their music, If you're lucky you may get a keyboard too.

at least hes not hiding it with autotune like 99 percent of modern bands these days. There something to be said for people to go against the whole autotune trend these days. Its an acquired taste yes, as is synth pop. If you think this is bad, id wonder what you think of Gary Numan.

Why is this whiny little punk singing? it sounds terrible... the rest of the song isn't all too bad, but the vocals just suck hardcore. If they got a new singer or this guy seriously worked on his vocals, they might be good.
