So when I started out listening to music (i men REALLY listening), it was on the old records of deftones, korn, beastie boys and stuff like that. Then came this period were I turned to more ruff music like Type O Negative, Slipknot, Glassjaw, Vision of Disorder and other gothic and hardcore bands. Then I ran into this flipmode, because while I was working on making music by myself I discovered Aphex. I became obsessed and swallowed by this (then) untouched world called IDM. Some time went by with IDM and I learned about Boars of Canada and Autechre etc. But meanwhile I had small interest in rock music and metal. I listened to some stuff here and there, but nothing really touched me. Some bands reached a good status with me like Queens of the Stone Age, Tool and Faith No More, but the rest never was balls thrown in the air, but never touched the ground. Then after almost 2 years of this "phase", I rediscover hardcore-punk through bands like Rejected and again Glassjaw. The new Deftones album also seems to touch some nostalgic feeling which reminds me of my life 3-4 years back. Maybe I'm turning again - a new flipmode - or maybe I'm just living my life again after the breakup with my girlfriend - I really can't say. But oddly enough I feel happy when NOT listening to IDM right now :) |

man, i just listen to anything and everything that sounds good to me. i try to keep a good variety; johnny cash to four tet to radiohead to ween to the pixies all in one day. i feel that if you mix it up a lot, you stay more objective, you keep a better perspective on what is good music rather than what is a good genre. especially now that it is so easy to get music to listen to off of the internet, i think it's better to just listen to everything and pick my favorites. but, thats just me. do what makes you happy. that should be the most important thing eh? |

I used to listen to metal a lot, later on I moved to Hardcore-punk. And even later I kinda got into IDM. Now, everything comes in periods. There are days, or even weeks, that I don't listen to any electronic music, and there are weeks that no guitar enters my ears. I like it this way actually. I just happen to listen to a larger variety of music than ever before. The only downside is that it's impossible to keep up with al genres. It's a pity, because I might miss a lot of the good stuff, but what am I gonna do about it? |

I know what you mean about the deftones, I just got the new one(I havent bought a major label rock cd for quite some and it does bring back memories of when I used to like deftones much more but...I relaly dont think the new disc is that good, I probably only like 4 or 5 tracks on the whole disc, its pretty weak I think(white pony is the best still i think, I cant see them topping it) |

I was well into Metal (Slipknot, Soulfly, Hed P.E and so on) before i got into IDM. I will go to a gig now and then but my true love is with IDM. |
