I've got quite varied comments.

My brother really likes Prefuse, but says "It's just so
WIERD" about aphex. I played Chris Clark in my friends car,
and thay said that "this is just bass, no melody, just
random bass"

My brother really likes Radiohead, but my friends are not
that into it. Once I was listening to Plaid - Dead Sea at
work and mate said "Is this funeral music".

a funny thing was that I had been playing Prefuse for a year
at the office, and one day a work mate came up to me and
said, "I was at my friends crib yesterday, and we where
listening to Prefuse, do you know that band?"

And my mom said that Ulrich Schnauss is very beautyful. that
was nice =)

Eh most of the comments vary between "Wtf is that Mario bros
game music" (I have no fucking clue why 5-6 people get to
that conclusion when listening to AFX or AE) and "Wtf is
that thing broken?" (I have again no clue why they think a
broken CD could play).

hmm..

Anyway the worse was definitely playing some VSnares at a
party. I should have known better, that was my fault.
Basically the whole thing crashed and everybody looked at me
with their mouth open. Some of them told me "WHAT THE FUCK
PLAY SOME 3 DOORS DOWN!!!!!" really loud. One of them told
me he didn't like anything challenging in music. He didn't
want to open his brain to music. Stupid.

A funny thing is that one of those guys, about a month after
that, secretly told me he liked what I had played him. Heck
it was easy party VSnares.

i get it all (99% negative), but sometimes a friend / wife /
aquaintence will come up to me and say, what is that? that
was pretty good, who is this, this is alright? but i will
tell them the names of the artists and they will be like, oh
never hear of them. so they will start to pay attention to
the music, but not really keep their interest after they
hear who it is. but i dont really harp on other peoples
musics, the only time i catch myself doing it is to metal,
which *sorry, i really have no patience for.

basicly, you can never play venetian snares at a party with
5+ people. almost impossible.

"I remember playing some ae to someone once, and they
explained to me how autechre make their music: he said that
they record it on a casio keyboard at a slow speed and then
make the tempo about 3 times as fast, play it back and
record it."

I once got an acquaintance of mine to listen to drukqs. He
explained that the drummer was using electronic drums and
that the keyboardist was also filling in some of the drums.

i used to play all sorts of great music at this store i
worked at. but the best was when i played confield, this
guy asked me if it was some sort of generic background
music. a woman asked me if it was a recording of farts.

i really enjoy this thread, my sincere thanks for bring it
back again

my brother to Draft 7.30 said "sorry, I don't understand
it"

a friend on Goegaddi "oh.. it's quiet music, it's ok"

my mother about anything "you and your repetitive music" or
"you should sell all your music, how much we would get for
it?"

and in some party I played some Astrobotnia tracks and some
people actually liked it, but at the same time I noticed
they got nervous so I just others played some classic rock
CD's, anyway, really I'd showed my idm side to very few
people only

I can only remember my friend saying about windowlicker that
it was "sex music" and my parents said about chiastic slide
that it "is too harsh" and told me to "get that crap out of
the player"

I rarely get positive responses to any music I like except
ambient.

lots of my friends say "what, no words? I dont listen to
stuff without words"

and I played some random fast track off of Drukqs and my
high female friend said "i think my heart's going to
explode, but I like it"

it depends if they're wasted or not.

normally it's

"can u change the music?"

and other times it's like

"Woo! Insane!!"

a girl after 3 minutes of Kotra-the bridge playing at a low
volume:

"Is this kind of music?"
