I am making a mix for a good friend who has never really been into electronic moooosic. what tracks can I put on there to ease him into the gorgeous world of IDM? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd go with some easy listening electronica, like "on the romance tip" or "aquarius" ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some Múm maybe? or Bjork? I know one! Idioteque by Radiohead! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, and befriend a child killer and find candace...nothing too harsh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Idioteque is not IDM, I will never accept any of that album as IDM. |
||||||||

shoot me! ;) No one ever asked for idm. I think it is perfect to "ease him into the gorgeous world of IDM" . and I was like.. WHATEVER! |

Windowlicker It was Richard's attempt to get a number 1 on the British pop charts anyways. |

Incunabula era autechre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

this is going to be a fucking great mix! thanks all |

play him Slip by Autechre... I got a friend of mine to listen to that, a friend who thinks I have weird music tastes... he said it was cool... heh, I also played him 777 and he said something about it being mathematical or something I think... good study music or something... |
||||||||
|

|
put some posthuman on there! |
||||||||
|

I'd say some Boards of Canada would be good... some Come to Daddy or ICBYD Aphex Twin... like Flim, or Alberto Balsalm... Lots of early Autechre, but also give him some more accessible later Autechre... something like Corc, Rae, or even something from Confield or Draft 7.30 like Vi Scose Poise or V-Proc... I also agree with supreme about Kid A or Amnesiac era Radiohead... I think Pulk/Pull Revoling Doors is a great song... Packt Like Sardines in a Can is too... and the song Kid A is real nice... |
||||||||

|
|
also, Boneville Occident by Squarepusher is a must... that track is fucking amazing!! :) |
||||||||
|

all that stuff is too hardcore for a begginer.... ease him in with some 'music for airports' by brian eno |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I think BoC should do the trick. I have played it to friends, to parents, to collegues, to Brian Adams fans...they have all loved BoC. It trully trancends borders, man. Peace! |
||||||||

Aphex Airlines perhaps |

I have a friend who's not a big fan of this style of music. I thought Suarepushers 'My Red Hot Car' might have been a good intro, but he didn't go for it. He did, however, enjoy Global Goon's Vatican Nitez album. BoC's 'In A Beautiful Place Out In the Country'. And most of Aphex Twin's ICBYD. |

look..... huh? what? i? d? m? pleeeeease, lets make a concious effort people. This is not an acceptable description for music that is good. Pleeeeeeeease i urge you...... Electronica, braindance, drill'n'bass...... but fuck.... idm <---- just look how lame! |

"Idioteque is not IDM, I will never accept any of that album as IDM. " hey genre nazi, if you can call snares IDM they can call radiohead IDM.... |

IDM is a wanky pretentious name. i mean really Intelligent Dance Music. How self-serving can a term be? bile puke vomit etc etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the term Braindance! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any term is stupid cos it's so damn broad. How can you group BOC,Autechre and Squarepusher together? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ulrich schnauss is a good starting point |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Aqua - Barbie Girl ;oD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some chilled BOC/Plaid tracks would do it. but it depends what sort of music your friend is into... |
||||||||
|
|

Bola - Pae Paoe! :) |

I'm with you, bird. I hate the term "IDM," it definitely is way too limited and inadequate for such a vast and untamed world of music. braindance I like, that's kinda zippy oh and I think you're too right, zyx! BoC is music everybody can feel...and should |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and Phresch: he's into a lot of good indie stuff, like the microphones and built to spill and neutral milk hotel. he's also fond of tori amos and beck |
