Any suggestions, preferably like a Good Charlotte album or
Hybrid's "Remix and Additional Production By. . . " , and
also I'd like to hear a song sorta like the incredible
"Rabbitweed" by Sasha.

Basically the addition of drums(breaks)

So, dnb, jungle, drill, and so on.

YOU IDIOTS!!! breakbeat is an electronica sub-genre all to
its own!!!!

dbn, jungle, drill, are NOT breakbeat!!!

so what is breakbeat?? very heavy on the TRIPPINESS factor.

I SUGGEST YOU LISTEN TO Hybrid's legendary "Wider Angle" 2
cd set, listen to Sasha's dark and mindblowing "Rabbitweed",
and then BT and Tsunami One's "Hip Hop Phenomenom" (NOT A
hip hop song, I can tell you; it is breakbeat!), an awesome
breakbeat track that has some seriously brilliant bass.

brilliant bass? sorry IDM is the only music that can be
smart

I mean.. . the bass on it. . . it's just droning in lowkey.
. . BT/Tsunami One must have had a moment of brilliance to
come up with something so catchy and yet deep like that!

breakbeat is a genre all on it's own, I was simpliy stating
that breaks are most commonly put in with drums.

And hey way to be deathsmith, getting a tad agitated.

Btw, Death this is an afx site. I don't think this style of
music is for you. I mean as stated in a different post you
didn't know what 'Confield' was let alone AE.

Lol, yeah I know, because I haven't yet really got into much
AE , but I will, don't worry.

and Anyway this is a message board for APHEX TWIN FANS not
just Aphex Twin related messages. Besides look at the
other posts most of them aren't about about Aphex Twin, now
are they?

Points: 3167 Status: Lurker



I wasn't getting at this was strictly afx messages. My
point is as clear and concise as I can be for you is that:
IDM doesn't seem to be for you. From what I've seen you've
been posting nothing but Progressive house/trance, big beat,
and breakbeat artists.

Maybe Global Underground would be a better site for you.

No. . . . Aphex Twin is above all my favourite musical
artist, and I enjoy using this board moreso than ones on
other sites. Besides I just started listening to AFX
several months ago so I'm just getting into other sorts of
IDM. Also, I'll have you know, I enjoy good intelligent
dance music just as much as any other kind of electronica.

That's good to know, never to late to start.

I'm open on ALL angles; I listen to EVERY kind of
electronica, I enjoy it ALL, because there are different
good things about every different genre. Some genres
(progressive house, drum and bass) it was a bit harder to
get into than traditional easier stuff like normal house and
trance, but now I can say I listen to every kind of
electronic music and am versatile in my listening
capabilities (wtf does that mean??) and what genre a song is
does not really matter to me anymre, as long as it is good.

I actually disdain the hardcore Aphex Twin fans who disdain
trance, because trance can be great stuff!!! (Some of it is
admittedly cheese, though). but also I disdain people who
LOVE trance and only listen to trance music. . . because
that's just LAME!!!!

Yea... It's only the "pop" versions of music the punters
hear that aren't true.

R&B is the exception but stuff like Shy FX: Not the D&B we
all know and love. That whole Trance movement: That wasn't
Trance!!! It could be, it was pop.

Now it's happened to heavy metal Which I loved once. I don't
like A anymore. Silverchair have released some new and
REALLY shit stuff so.....

Fuck all the Genre shit and fuck the term IDM. It's all gone
too far and no-one knows what's what anymore.

I got hot and bothered then and didn't make any sense. I
meant; I listen to stuff I like, nothing more, nothing
less.

sorry

oops

Here's some Death: try Beber & Tamara (new album just out),
Meat Katie, Layo & Bushwacka, Blim, Adam Freeland mix
albums, anything on Botchit & Scarper (they have some cheap
samplers out), Freq Nasty, there's a series of compilations
on Distinctive Breaks called Y2K, Y3k etc.

for christs sake, big beat, trip hop, hip hop, drum n bass,
drill n bass are are sub-genres of breakbeat. commercial
breakbeat is just funky house with breaks.

lol. . . sorta. . . but when I say "breakbeat" I mean
SPECIFICALLY the kind of breakbeat that The Crystal Method
and Hybrid make. .. .

So... to be more specific and use my choice of deciding what
a type of music is....
"Anyone got any stuff like The Crystal Method and Hybrid?"



 

offline Deathsmith from Brussels (Belgium) on 2002-05-31 16:06 [#00244513]
Points: 1027 Status: Regular



Yes, but I always knew that TCM and Hybrid were breakbeat
anyway, and I thought everyone else would, too.

It's not like I came up with this "breakbeat" definition
myself. Hybrid is the definitive breakbeat group; give them
a listen and you'll understand what TRUE breakbeat is really
all about.

Yea... I know what you mean... I just tend to say stuff
like... "music like aphex twin" or something. It makes it
easier than "music like Hyper Noisecore-Drum 'N'
Jazz-synthharp"

LOL! That sounds cool... I want some music that sounds like
Hyper Noisecore-Drum 'N' Jazz-synthharp. Anyone got any?

"lol. . . sorta. . . but when I say "breakbeat" I mean

yeah, sorry shoulda known, I mean, there's only a couple of
breakbeat subgenres..
