Most futuristic/advanced music

what would it be in your opinion? i talking about
technical electronica/idm.

kind of like autechre or richard devine, but even more
advanced (if there's any).

tough call that..

you know if you go into formulas etc then that can be
regressive

confield style material is quite close to my definition.
where the layers give rise to imagery, sensations, etc,
without there being any sort of blatant message

this is nothing new, i dug the early hacked up severed heads
material for the same reason, but yeah, i guess fresh
sensations is everything. i think a lot of 'idm'-tricks are
getting mighty stale all of a sudden, and missing the point.

eh, complexity doesnt make music more 'advanced'
morton subotnick was making music just as complex and
whacked out sounding as richard devine and autechre as far
back as the 60's ...without the elaborate computer programs
they use..

hmm.. now that i think of it.. i dont really think of any
music as futuristic.. and i suppose i dont pay enough
attention to the technical aspects to really consider things
more advanced than other things

its topics like these that bring people into the scary world
of over-analyzation.. a place few too many 'idm' fans get
lost in and never return from

yep i agree with ya wayout

the futuristic thing, i guess, is mostly imagery/sensation,
as i was saying.

combinations of sounds, music.

this is where electro fits in for me, where hardware etc
becomes just as much of a musical instrument as the more
traditional forms, when you get to know it with intimacy

i know what you mean and i agree. but i just tried to
describe what i was looking for in a way that people would
understand what i mean, not to lack a certain clarity.

maybe i lack some now though.

yeah, if anything.. artists like bochum welt and casino
versus japan sound 'futuristic' to me.. because they emulate
that spacey sound i always indentified with the fantastical
future portrayed in tv shows and video games and movies i
watched when i was a kid

now, obviously..this isnt the 'music of the future' the
sound died out in the 80's.. and is now seen as 'retro'
..but it still brings that association to your mind

we are no longer progressing. what is futuristic will be an
improvment of something we go back to

Someday we'll look back and think it was ridiculous that we
listened to music using speakers and electronics. Somehow.
You watch.

The soundtrack to Forbidden Planet. Still very futuristic
despite being composed in 1956

hah, yeah.. louis and bebe barron's forbidden planet
soundtrack popped into my head when i was talking about
morton subotnick... that stuff is pretty badass sounding at
times
a lot of todays 'idm' is pretty tame compared to some of the
stuff academic whackos were doing back in the 50's and 60's
