Are there moments of IDM that take your breath away, make your hair stand on end or even -maybe - make you jizz? For me it's around 1m into Family Computer Robot, when the pads fade in |

A bit of an underwhelming example for "IDM". Whatever. Killed anything today? |

XMD 5a. In particular, what the fuck is happening between 3:37 and 3:45? I hear some filter/res modulation on the piano, but it's just absolutely fucked. In the best way possible |

i never liked that track. in general, i skip the standard, mid-album hedfuck track he drops with unfailing regularity. some of them have won me over, in the end -- "it is always now" has these elastic orch hits i simply couldn't stay mad at, for example -- but "juicy luke vibert" is rather boring once you have have a laugh hearing it for the first time. |

I dunno about tracks... (well, besides Hasty Boom Alert, which is ULTRA) but I do have "times" that I remember, which were fucking epic. I remember when Warp released the teaser mp3s for the forthcoming Drukqs, and one of the teasers was 54 Cymru Beats. Back then was like now, when people "wanted a new Aphex Twin album", except that shit was actually delivered. But anyway, when I first heard 54 Cymru Beats from Warp's teaser, I was like FUUUUUCKKKKK- it was phuture as fuck, and it was like, "Aaaaand Aphex Twin is back...." Legend. Felt amazing to hear that shit for the first time. A year and a bit later, Rephlex released a teaser mp3 of Cylob's Cut The Midrange, Drop The Bass, which actually sounded better than the cleaner CD version. Anyway, at the time, that track really summarized the whole of the electronic music underground for me (feeling wise). It was a time of mad transition, old meeting new, USA IDM gaining traction, glitch peaking, online music starting to flesh itself out, and a time when a lot of quality electronic labels were popping up. It was... "THE TIME" for me. Especially the end part to Cut The Midrange, Drop The Bass, where the voice goes up... man. That said everything about the time. Cylob knew what was coming, he said his final goodbye by speaking for the scene, and he humbly backed out. Fucking after that, I believe due to multidimensional shifts and separation, the electronic music world has never felt the same. A "nu age" is coming soon, but until we get there, it's gonna be hard to see how it all pans out. Looking forward to a new phuture underground where "it just feels good and right". See you all on the flipside. |

Actually now that you mention "cut the midrange, drop the bass", it makes me think of , and the epicness happening @ 2:34 and forth |

And on your thoughts on future underground; would you know if there was a underground out there right now? one that didn't show itself just so it could live on longer? |

Junktion Cool track, DL'd album (thx!). As for "underground"..... Yah- one can only be in a scene that one knows of. Every now and then some scene will impress me, that's been around for ages, which makes me realize there are prolly amazing sounds out there that might not ever get traction in electronic music scenes, because they are experienced from different angles. (like if Selected Ambient Works vol 2 were released on a spiritual new age label, a different group of people could be appreciating it). JivverDicker Word~~~ But in a general sense, the "nu age" of electronic music that I see coming, is based on patterns I recognize from "the previous time"-- late 90's to around 2002. The underground has gone through several bandwagons, resulting in slow crystallization of styles from the previous 10 years. Underground sounds are again being used regularly for pop music production, and there is mass interest in the overground of electronic music (EDM et al). This is exactly what happened before the previous IDM bubble (the previous coming of great electronic music). My predictions for the "nu age" are: Highly successful new bandwagon creation from influential underground artists who are relatively unknown before album release. Several million sellers of pop electronic music, with slight underground crossover (possible inclusion of a dearly-loved-by-underground artist "selling out"). Possible proper return of Chemical Brothers. Possible proper return of Fatboy Slim. Several new electronic labels (good ones) focused on physical releases. The underground is going to produce some next level sonics. But in a more cosmic sense, JivverDicker: "Ze phuture-- I'm working on it." |

IDMgasm: Going from 0 to 500 MPH in 10 seconds in your UFO-tech-modded Lamborghini Countach, in a city where all buildings are made of particles of light. The track that starts when you hit the gas: |

I get an IDMgasm when the bass kicks in on Come On My Selector (Tom helpfully announces that the bass is about to kick in just before it does). However I only experience the full IDMgasm when I am drinking a cup of tea while listening |
