Saddest / melancholic electronic songs
Neon lights kraftwerk

Memories of Green Vangelis
Lights are Going Out - OMD
(Look past the terrible video with weird intro, its a haunting song lol)
Mark Kozelek and Jimm LaValle, their full album, but this especially: Gustavo
Don‘t know if this files under electronic songs, but I love it to pieces: The Notwist: Consequence
Yeah omd had a knack for sad synths songs
Please push no more - Gary Numan
OMD pretty much wrote the book on melancholy
BLancmage sad day
Pretty much all of Icunabula by Autechre puts me in very melancholy mood. More or less everything by Boards of Canada. To be honest vast swathes of the last 30 year’s worth of techno and electronica make me feel ever so sad (in a good way, mind you)
Anything by loscil
And for good, off-topic measure:
I find it worthy to flaunt the parameters for that one because those first verse lyrics rule, and the bass is so incredible when it kicks in.
Vienna, Ultravox.
@DrChris, I'm thrilled that someone out there loves Consequence as much as I do. I just discovered the song a couple of months ago (although ironically I remember being introduced to Notwist around 10 years ago and then promptly forgetting about them). I've probably listened to the song ~5 times a day for the last 2 months; it's so mesmerizing and haunting. It's difficult to restrain myself from writing an absurdly long post detailing all the amazing chord work and creative writing/production techniques that I'm hearing. I think some of the little percussion "zips and zaps" could qualify it as being somewhat electronic...
I love the miserable stuff. (maybe some are not quite so electronic due to the fact it wasn't invented yet!)
Here are a few I like, which you may not have heard of (all early to late 70s)
Supersister No-Tree-Will Grow (This was years ahead of its time-partly electronic)
Peter Hammill The Shingle Song (Hammill is the master of misery)
Wolfgang Riechmann Silberland (1978) (This one is fully electronic)
Tissues at the ready
I used to think this song was so lonely and alienated sounding. Went back and listened to it again just now and I think it effected me even more than when it came out.
I remember when I first heard Cygnes about 10 years ago. It was on an episode of ASOT, and the breakdown of Cygnes teared me up proper the first time I heard it.
@Joel75: Yes, it‘s a fantastic song that I always keep coming back listening to. There‘s quite some electronic involved. Do you know the movie they made about the production of „Neon Golden“?
(Unfortunately without subtitles)
I love the Notwist but forgot about them, saw them live for the Neon Golden tour but kind of lost track of them since. That song brought me back. I was interning at the Ninja Tune office in Montreal at the time.
We need some Depeche Mode in this thread, lots to choose from. "Somebody" would be the obvious choice but it's not very electronic, try this one instead....
Edit: anyont know what 80s movie thats from?
It’s stretching Electronic a bit but this feel good frenzy was a Christmas Number 1 in the UK.
Mad World, Gary Jules.
I absolutely adore melancholy music and could go on and on about various tracks spanning most of my lifetime, but I have to mention one in particular that I first encountered a few months back. It wouldn’t make it into a list of favorite songs, not even by this artist, but for some magical reason for about the first five listens, this track made me cry. Not saying my eyes teared up, that’s not bad—we’re talking full on waterfalls streaming down my cheeks, snotty nose, had-to-pull-over-while-driving crying! Caught me quite off guard as I was in a perfectly good mood when it came on. So, with caution, I present: Little Something by Above & Beyond
Gorecki - Lamb
Melancholic tunes are my favorite (beside the mysterious and horror).......so what is wrong with me
I feel same
Anything from Portishead’s first two albums.
Love the Notwist and his buddy Console
Saycet - Don’t cry little girl
JM Jarre - Souvenir of China
