please none of this: "I recommend you plaid, HARHARHAR" What are some good tracks for the unitiated? how does plaid's sound compare to RDJ, BOC, >[], etc? |
||||||||

how does it compare to others? it's very clean production. this turned me off completely at first, but i grew to love it. to quote my friend sam "its like watching the sun reflect off chrome" beautiful melodies and arrangements. conjures images of snowflakes, rainbows, sunshine, and sometimes tropical islands. |

plaid are one of my favorites, but i think im alone when i say i prefer plaid over aphex twin, boc, AND squarepusher. in any case, plaids one of the best melodic producers ive heard. the structures and progressions of what they do are hardly touched by anyone in my opinion. if you arent into the melodic/playful sort of stuff i wouldnt suggest plaid. my (lengthy) track suggestions: kortisin headspin fer forever milh ilasas dead sea gel lab new bass hippo tophapy lazy beams squance assault on precinct zero new family zala diddymousedid stills zeal buns itsu another track you should check out, though it may be hard to find, is "boneskin". plaid had an alias called "crewmunity"....so "crewmunity - boneskin". one of my favorite tracks theyve made. but, there you go. certainly wont expect you to enjoy all of those tracks, but they are some of my favorites at least. |

Rest Proof Clockwork is their masterpiece - practically anything from that album is great. |
||||||||
|

yeah tibbar has some great suggestions too. but you know, i think i could recommend any plaid track. those are just my favorites right now that i listed. |

I have P-Brane and Double Figure, and they're both very good... hey, you could get P-Brane first like I did, that's a good place to start... my only problem with that method was that P-Brane was so good, I wanted more songs... it's too short... |
||||||||

Rakimou - [Not for Threes] - 1997 Extork - [Not for Threes] - 1997 Squance - [Double Figure] - 2001 Sincetta - [Double Figure] - 2001 Coat - [P-Brane ep] - 2001 Marry - [Spokes] - 2003 Itsu - [Dial P] - 2003 but my favs are sincetta, marry rakimou |

I like them though, they're cool... these two cds I have seems like it's a little in between Autechre and BoC... you have a little bit of the freaky percussion, but it's not too crazy... and then you have nice melodies, but they're not quite as, ummmm, organic sounding we'll say as BoC's melodies... good stuff!! |

Nope, your not alone at all. Plaid are on the top of my list with Orbital and The Black Dog (with Ed and Andy). As for recommendations, I'll get to that tomorrow, just right now I'm too tired. -_- |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and I know Jarworski prefers Plaid over all other Warp artists too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah man, old black dog rocks. their respective side projects are top notch too, especially balil. kens newer stuff is...meh. thats about all i can say. he fucking rocked on bytes though. |

Why is vintage IDM so beloved? I never thought that much of Bytes, yet it's highly praised in avant - techno circles. |
||||||||
|

To attempt to answer Zephyr's question: Older - school artist likenings (Warning: runs risk of sounding limiting or one - dimensional) While all the listed artists fall under the IDM banner more or less, the following bands / individuals are more reminiscent of certain influential artists than much else. AE: Einzensturde Neubaten (sp?) AFX: Stockhausen BOC: Eno -->[]: Coltrane FSOL: (later) Wendy Carlos The Orb: (obviously) Tangerine Dream Plaid: Lee 'Scratch' Perry |

actually i am with you, i like plaid better than aphex/boc/and especially squarepusher. but not autechre or bola.....or autophonic. |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||

You've got it all mixed up. I see more knocks against vintage on this board and others rather than praise. "That sounds dated, blah blah" disasemble: You, me and Phobia have the same tastes with The Black Dog. As for Balil, go check out my 'Parasight' post to see how much I like Ed's side project. :] |
||||||||
|

EVERYYYYYYYYYTHING!!!!! plaid REWLZ.......ehhehe seriously tho.......you can't go wrong, taste is subjective peepz say this is better than that....etc......but honestly it's ALL GREAT! enjoy it!! |

anything from Rest Proof Clockwork. expecially Shackbu and Dang Spot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anything by plaid is just excellent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always pronounce their name "playd" i know it's suppose to be "pla-id" just a habit thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i recommend trainer! old school plaid, stuff like whirling of spirits, summit, soft key and tan sau rock! not for 3s and double figure are my other faves, not too bigga fan of restproof, i find it a bit boring at times. plaid has great melodies however i wouldn't call them melodic masters, its as if they just play around on the keyboard and see what notes fit. |
