I recently found myself listening to AFX - Hangable Auto Bulb, remenessing the old days, where I got it some dusty vinyl-rip of HAB through napster, in god knows what rpm. That was a real eyeopener for me back then, because the melodies, speed and composition of these tracks, really spoke to me as being the best case of IDM there is. Although musicians like Chris Clark, Astrobotnia, Squarepusher and Venetian Snares touched me with their music, none of the above ever reached the same analogue, witty, speedy feeling as HAB has for me. I don't know - maybe i've missed out on something, but just take a track like "Laughable Butane Bob" - it is so fluid and it almost lives in a universe of its own. Now let's pretend I was stuck in 1995 for a moment, and you were about to tell me about what albums, similar to HAB's consistency, that have been released until 2008 - what albums and artists would you suggest me? |

check the Merck records back catalogue for some more recent gems. |

Plug - Drum'n'bassforpapa |
||||||||
|

Time is unfortunately always of the essence, so going through the whole back-catalogue, could be somewhat time consuming ;) . Artists/album you'd recommend? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Plug, huh? Plug did a remix on NIN - The Perfect Drug, that I really love. I'll note that.. |

Luke Vibert is Plug? nice |

get the 4 Merck mixes, they'll give you an idea of who to seek out. The 4th mix by Proswell playing only his stuff but still very good. |

I know some Kid 606 and Machinedum. Merck is notet |

Nothing comes close to AFX and aint dat the truth. Plug - Drum'n'bass for Papa is an awesome album, although at the end of the day its just jungle/d'n'b done really really well; its not in a 'universe of its own' like some Aphex tracks. I take it you have all Squarepusher's albums: Big Loada, Hard Normal Daddy and Bubble & Squeak EP's being the closest to Hangable Auto Bulb. Some Bogdan Raczynski is in a similar vein as well. There isn't much to choose between his albums but I'd recommend 'Thinking of You' and 'Samurai Math Beats'. |

On Squarepusher, nothing beats "Feed Me Weird Things" for me, and "Samurai Math Beats" by Bogdan is also one of my favs. I might have to check out more Bogdan... |

Yeah, the first Squarepusher album I heard was Go Plastic about the time it was released and at that point I'd barely listened to much d'n'b/jungle so gradually discovering his back catalogue was a reverse process for me. I guess with that kind of music it depends when you first hear it and when your mind first gets blown thus altering your pre-conceptions for whatever you hear afterwards. Definitely check out more Bogdan; you really can't go wrong with any of his albums; the formula is pretty much the same, except for 'MyloveIlove' which is an ambient album. Returning to your original request for analogue, witty speedy music, I trust you have all of AFX's stuff up to the present day. The entire Analord series is absolute genius, as is everything by The Tuss. Various people on this message board seem to complain no end that Aphex doesn't release good music any more, and that is simply not true. Loads of tracks amongst the Analord series are in a 'universe of their own'. The synths on Fenix Funk get me everytime, they have a completely unmistakable sound and feel. I just don't think there are very many people capable of making music that just runs and flows so naturally. There never was a better example of brain-dance (in the literal sense of the term) |

idm is boring i think |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so let the bad suckers drown and the good stand out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
idm never existed in the first place. hang your hat on that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM has gone exactly the same way as industrial music - almost dead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just saying everyone here almost want to sound like copys of aphex twin or autechre maybe i think because its idm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no one want to try to make anything new or am i wrong ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're going to try and imitate someone you might as well try and imitate the best |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i dont listen to that music anyway only the originals |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Aphex, Autechre and the like will always be the best, but I think its true that there is plenty of very decent and innovative music out there, judging by a couple of the recommendations in this thread (Wisp) and by several made by various people in a thread that Woofer Attack made the other day, which I can't be arsed to find and link right now. Personally, I stopped exploring new electronica/IDM a few years ago, having only returned to it recently, and started getting into techno/minimal techno/acid, etc. Time spent listening to the 'classics' (Aphex, Ae, Boards, Squarepusher, etc) as opposed to new music easily occupies the majority of my time-spent-listening-to-music. |

sorry i just wanted to be an ass you can listen to all you want just saying i am tired of the same old idm copies |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only thing i'm liking that isn't the classics is some aslope stuff. and only occasionally |
||||||||
|
|

It really doesn't matter. |

i dunno...i think aleksi perala's project v is one of the best electronic music releases this decade. i went through a little period lately where it was the only cd i had on me. it's such a fucking great album start to finish. i never get sick of it. i think it deserves way more praise. praise on, motherfuckaz. |
||||||||

|
|
any nice releases out on napster these days? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eek. proem is disgusting! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some of his older stuff is merely ok... have you heard socially inept though? It's just utterly fantastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and my absolute fave proem track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it possible to not like that song? ;p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Proem has done a lot of amazing stuff, I like 'place gun to head' the most personally. Some years ago I would sit up all night listening to that song. He has a very well produced sound, but I find his two latest albums aren't as good in content.. Although they are still cool.. As far as IDM goes, I like quaristice, but I haven't really heard anything mindbending in terms of sound and ideas in this genre for a few years.. There are however a lot of good ambient and electronic releases, like Fennesz - Black Sea, Bola - Kroungrine (6/10), Burial - Untrue, Elegi Sistereis (haunting ambience, with some idm trickery in places, although much less digital), Tim Hecker - Atlas and Norberg.. These are some of the electronic highlights for me the past year.. |

the new wisp is amazing up there with aphex and squarepusher but still individual, (often) v.fast, mental, melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, full, electronic music. knocks spots of everything else current/at the moment.for a while imho |

thanks for the link to that Wisp archive, a veritable gold mine |

Ask SM Pennyworth for the tracks he was posting up here a couple of years ago...fucking brilliant they were and if you like HAB you will like these. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, project v is really really good yet there is hardly any talk about it!? |
