Before IDM: what were you into?

yeah, i always sneer at everything with "intelligent",
"progressive" or "post" in it. I am a dumb, regressive and
conservative person, mind you...

I don't like the IDM term either. Its a media invention used
mainly by rollingstone writers (enough said right there).
"IDM" musicians tend to be closer to classical music then
anything else so maybe a better term could be derived from
this.

I'm a somewhat new "IDM" fan yeah, I guess. My first love in
music now that I think about it, was the classic 60's-70's
rock. Floyd, zeppelin (but more of the who), hendrix, Dylan
and the beatles above all. But blur was my favorite newish
band before Radiohead. My first concert was in fact a blur
concert as well..hmm..

As for Autechre vs. Afx, I love them both and I don't think
I could pick which is better. Hmm.. two different artists
with different ideas, one cannot debate which is better when
we're speaking of personal taste.

I thought we were discussing music here. Or should i mention
your hobby of dressing as a donkey and making love to
beautiful women (or was it the other way round, we were too
drunk the last time I can't exactly remember)

It was me dressing as a donkey while fellating a horse.
There were no women involved. And don't play ignorant Meho;
you still have the videotape of it.

Shouldn't I be asking that question? don't forget I still
have that tape of you and I at the zoo, so bear that in mind
before releasing any more of my "adventures" onto the www.

I was into classic rock before getting into IDM, and I still
am. I was heavily into guitar music, not so much now, but I
still listen to it and I still play guitar...

I go through stages. My progression has been:

cock rock ---> industrial ------> singer/songwriter
------>
dance -------> rap -----> jungle --------> IDM

Now I'm starting to get into folk music and harmonies. I
also am beginning to like strings.

My stages can be represented by my favorite bands at the
time...

Green Day
Pearl Jam/Soundgarden, that kind of thing.
Metallica
Ozzy Osbourne
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
The Who
The Beatles
Radiohead
Aphex Twin
Autechre

The Beatles to Radiohead thing is weird, a strange
transition, everything else is basically moving a step
forward to a better band.

I did listen to Aphex Twin before I got into Autechre,
Squarepusher, and all that stuff, but I was mainly listening
to the Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, The
Crystal Method, Photek, Goldie, some Ninja Tune stuff and
some rock like Radiohead, Beck, Sugar Ray, Eve6, Lit and
some others. I still listen to that stuff though, it's still
good. I was introduced to IDM by myself, I was listening to
Internet Radio, with no IDM station, and they played
Autechre - Liccflii (from EP7), and than, I started to like
it, so I purchased EP7, and well I like it a lot, and well I
went surfin on the net about Autechre, and then the internet
was talking about IDM constantly, and other artists, and
that's how I started listening to IDM.

I first was into well just music nothing special (top 40
shit) till about 4 years ago or something, i started
listening to punkrock, and about 1 year ago a friend told
me, after completing a real bizarre track of me & some
phriends fucking up a techno song (pitch bends and stuff),
there was a guy who made weird music, unlike anything else,
he showed me RDJ album and, well you can guess the rest. I
think IDM 's really cool and it should remain underground

if big beat isn't "intelligent dance music", is big band?
keep in mind the phrase IDM says nothing about the
utilization of electronics. on that token, was red snapper
IDM? they played real instruments, but they sound "kind of
IDM"? :)
