Is it the technical mastery? The melodies? The rythym? The pictures it paints in your mind? The way it makes you feel? The complexity? The replay value? Thoughts. |

Wider spectrum of sounds than any other genre... Vast diversity of styles within it. More highly abstract than other genres- allows tracks to be more personal IMO... you'll never quite relate perfectly to all lyrics on an album, if there are no lyrics, it's easier to feel totally into it. |

Ceri JC...good one on the lyrics comment. Never thought about it like that. I just think lyrics usually add absolute commercial bullshit that we're all better off without anyways. I think most people listen to music BECAUSE of the lyrics. Those people should read poetry instead. Unless of course it's something non-sensical like "orange.....orange......orange......", or "everything in its right place......everything......", or the absurdity of anything by Underworld. |

Yeah, I'm not adverse to the voice being used as an instrument or even when it is secondary (like in most trip hop). |
||||||||
|

Just about every aspect of a track can appeal to me. Maybe that's why I'm so fascinated by Richard D. James' music - some tracks are stunningly beautiful, others are extremely complex with many layers of stuff happening at once. Sometimes it's just nice sounds. |

i like certain artists mainly for their voices and the things they say with them that accompanies the rest of their music (tori amos, pj harvey). pj for example - i dont know about how her music would stand alone, or her voice would stand alone. but the combination of the two makes fireworks! |

i think it's the noises for me, i mean, a guitar or drums or traffic or birds tweeting, you just cant get it in nature, it's the un-naturalness for me |

I hate ROCK music and allo otehr kinds....thats why I like ELECTRONIC...cuz there is nothing else worth listening to |
||||||||

you have rock to thank for fx used in IDM |

I'm with you spacecadet. I'm damn sick of electric guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Holy shit that gets boring and is probably the prime reason why I have abandoned rock almost completely. It doesn't matter how many guitar effects you use - the shit all sounds the same. (Note: Trance music and most house follows in this same vein) The vast assotment of otherwordly sounds arranged to create a multitude of emotions is far more interesting and rewarding than most other genres. Groups like Radiohead - whilst still remaining a rock band - have learned this concept well. |

the way it makes me feel, as in I'm not just a complete sad nerd, there's other people that spend their lives tweaking plug ins to produce really un-emotionl music that'll sound soooooooo dated in two years time. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what makes it good is...the non-traditional sounds organized into something that sounds good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it depends on the music, though, right? I mean, if there's any one thing I really love about electronic music, it's the diversity of different sound the genre encompasses.. and the infinite potential |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Infinite potential.....very true. You're not limited to a specific set of instruments in trying to express yourself. And if you want to use a guitar - you can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you want to use anything, you can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so shouldn't we be asking "what makes music good to you?" Electronics is just another instrument adding to the infinite possibilities of music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure...we can do that weatheredstoner :) On a side note, I have always found classical orchestration to be the epitome of timeless music. Ever notice that it never sounds dated? So many films would have been better, had they not used music from their era (e.g. the cheesy 80's synths from "the Neverending Story".) In some respects, I feel that IDM and some other forms of electronica closely resemble classical music, albeit using a broader palette of sounds. |

some would say, "it's not what you use, but how you use it." |
