any votes or suggestions for the main noteable musical
landmarks of recent years, e.g. great names like kraftwerk,
aphex, drexciya and genres like house/techno/hip
hop/electro/jungle/dub... but is there anything that stands
out since all those, what's new these days, who's new, what
have i missed... dubstep kicked off around the beginning of
the decade, but what since then... in the last 5 years...
looking at festival lineups is quite surprising... is
digital p2p making people apathetic or mediochre or
splintering things into such individuality that they cannot
conglomerate... please let us know what is special to you in
this day and age/of contemprary times? where will
electronic/dance music go, do you think? or is is back to
acoustic live travelling minstrels?

for me who usually buys 15+ albums a year, has spent the
past 3 relying on youtube.. I like to blame the recession,
but nothing is tickling my fancy (even AE!! wtf)

gil scott heron's album was good though.

hopefully dance/electronic music starts really spanning
genres, not just in that indie/dance shitty way

Grizzly Bear really impress me. I hate most of what Warp
release these days but GB I think are actually worth the
hype. If by some odd chance you've not heard them, skip
Veckatimest and go back one to Yellow House (2006). Fucking
awesome and one of the few truly original concoctions I've
heard in the last ten years. Yeah they sound sorta like the
Beach Boys but they do it fresh like.

I can't stand dubstep, the only time i enjoyed it was when a
sexy belly dancer was dancing and taking my attention away
from the music.

i think golden age of hip hop was 83-93, apart from the odd
tune, a bit of Dilla and early Timbaland, that's the best
generalisation i can come to in three lines

any years/producers (in 3 lines) for (quoting from Juno
'Dance' Music):

Reggae/Dancehall/Ska
Funk/Disco/Jazz
House/Garage
Techno
Hardcore/hardstyle
Experimental/Electronic
Electro
Hip Hop/DJ Tools
Dubstep/Grime
Breakbeat/Drum And Bass

cut this list out and wrap it to a toilet roll, sticking
breakbeat/drum and bass next to reggae
what is inside the toilet roll?
or rather, when are we going to need a bigger one?

looking thru clone, boomkat, juno, myspace is rewarding yes
but also rare, such a lot of effort i was just looking for
some positive advancement, something i hadnt found, like
hurricane habit and labrynth for instance

Theres good new tunes all the time. I think the days of
massive advancement in electronic music is over. Dubstep
offers very little difference over what came before it.

super
super
super but old

destroy IDM
then more good music will come from the U.S.A.

shun Warp Records
otherwise kids will imitate !!!, grizzly bear, pile of shit
57...etc etc
starve warp of cash + attention.... let it die

build culture of Analogue Recording
so new tape machines can be built... new non-proprietry
analogue cassette... like elcaset/naks but
new/better/popular/widespread high quality analogue for the
masses

big up Electronic Engineering
influence Aphex fans towards electronics
huge diy community will grow to support
musicians -> prices become cheap for all
our culture becomes closer to the history and development of
electronic music from its conception rather than any fake
usa mistaken interpretations

new Electronic Music Synth
go to China or Taiwan
hire 5 engineering graduates (cheap)
build a new synth - best of analogue / digital,
musical, easy for all, (cheap) musicians dream machine
manufacturing in asia, sell by internet...
korg/roland/yamaha become jealous and copy... kickstart a
new culture of better synths than the DSP crap thats sold
today

the above ideas aint new musical forms. BUT they allow us to
explore new areas of the old forms. we had drum and bass....
so we now do aesthetically perfect drum and bass.... we had
acid.... now we do aesthetically perfect acid, etc etc......
novelty/newness was one driving force.... another driving
force is to make it more beautiful.... there is room for
both in art.... but art's main concern is beauty not novelty
(in my opinion hehe)....

music is not so general as electronics. music is art.
electronics is a craft. music comes from the heart and soul
so there is little point in arguing what feelings are in
your heart...
each musician follows his own sense of beauty... or some
other pretentious phrase hehe

reinventing the wheel? ok if you want to... or we could
design a more beautiful and amazing wheel than before... or
at least try and fail...

New musical forms??

why do they eat sushi in Japan?
why didnt the English invent sushi?

different:
cultures
history
country
location
religion
people (japanese didnt meet english)

form differences = geographical differences?? (in many cases
in teh past maybe)

So... new musical forms.... different countries....

simple idea, take these general/basic ideas:
*perfect aesthetic (HQ analogue recording.... beautiful
music...)
*perfect methodology (best of analogue and digital
electronics, no VST DAW shit)
*the idea "EXPLORE ELECTRONICS AND MUSIC"
*follow the footsteps of the history of electronic music
from its conception around 120 years ago
... take these ideas around the world and make them popular
in distant (non-western) countries
say... India... Singapore... China.... Taiwan...
where the education level is high, and the materials and
resources are cheap....
introduce purity of electronic music to them and try to
influence them......
there will be a language barrier... other differences,
culture, history, people, blah blah
because of the differences... the ideas we share will become
absorbed by them.... but changed....possibly into something
quite very different... because of the differences in our
thinking... new forms will come about.... as different as
sushi and a full english breakfast......

I swear if some of you just listened to some foreign musical
compositions for a while, your palette would be cleansed and
refreshed.

Such great music out of Bali - Gamelan

i think it's good to listen to some kind of music and
retrieve elements of such genre called idm in it. it's like
discovering that all gipsy music have common traits if you
know what i mean
