I really like orbital but is it IDM? what really
constitutes IDM?

orbital is great, why would you care if its IDM or not?

I was actually trying to get at what IDM is to all these
crazies on the board (I say crazies lovingly). people
always want to know what style an artist is. not me
personally though...

Nope J and the B,Orbital isn't IDM at all it's more
electronica/ambient music.....

I just think its odd to have so many IDM artists and have
all of them sound so different... I love the whole
braindance concept. its all braindance man!

IDM is a very old trem, and by old i mean that I dont
understand why we keep on using it

Orbital is not IDM. I would call them electronica. I see
it this way: theres a sub genre in electronica i like to
call electronica. sorta like New York, New York.
Electronica is like Prodigy, Orbital, FSOL...that kind of
thing.

What makes IDM? I don't know...a feeling...a different
feeling from those aforementioned artists.

good and different,I lost count on how many cds I own from
them.......

people get so crazy about classifying. its better just to
reference by artists. "they sound like blah, blah, and
blah" instead of saying "oh its downtempo 2-step ambient
garage drum and bass"

for me personally, Orbital makes more sense being called IDM
then Autechre... I know what IDM is, but by the name
Intelligent Dance Music wouldn't Orbital fit that bill
better? I mean they're intelligent, dancey, and it's
music... Autechre isn't dancey at all really...

Ah, yes my fav. electronic artist out there. No, Orbital
isn't really IDM. You can't really fit them in a genre
other than 'electronica' because they use soooo much variety
in their music.

Orbital is the shiet.

Its the one they made originally, didn't put it in the brown
album, finished the album and put in Halcyon +on +on at the
end.

So in fact there are two songs:

One called "Halcyon" on the works album(or 7" version)
and "Halcyon +on +on" on the Brown album

Yeah, that's the one where the Hartnoll brothers sampled a
Bon Jovi song in it. It's a good version, but I still like
Halcyon & On & On better.
