Really, i hate the latest releases of warp, rephlex, skam, what's going on there? i really don't like this gabba, rap, bah! Then, Planet Mu crossed my mind. I already found an excellent album: Ambulance - The curse of vale do lobo really great electronic music, great beats, GREAT melodies, and surprisingly very little is discussed about it over here.... I'd say check the samples on planet-mu.com! Morton's latest purchase isn't bad either: Dykehouse's first album is very nice, great to know these kind of albums still exist. On the other hand, his last CD is awfulllllll..... please recommend me more planet mu stuff..? |

||||||||
|

|
|
what about that '!!!' on warp shadowhuntaz on skam the bug on rephlex. that kind of stuff... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's more gabba-like stuff coming out on Planet Mu than the other labels you mentioned. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone heard of Ambulance? |
||||||||
|
|

ziq086 edIT - Crying Over Pros For No Reason [2004] klinkt erruhg goed I agree with you about warp, rephlex and skam, let´s hope this will shit will be once only |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but still there is good stuff in between. i don't see rephlex or skam doing the same thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's what I thought aswell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds pretty good indeed.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I'm not into this 'loving a label' thing much anyway, I guess. I think Planet Mu is a nice label that isn't afraid to take risks, but I think the same about warp - see the backlash they're getting the last year or so. Skam still produces good stuff too - the last Freeform EP was excellent, the Mr.76ix release was pretty good. now on Rephlex I agree - I dislike just about every record they have ever released - but to me this is nothing new, never liked their output. |
||||||||

|

well not gabba, but he has a point imo, i don't like this punkfunk stuff by '!!!' or the new 2 lone swordsmen album either, i prefer the 'real' electonica that warp used to release in the past, same goes for rephlex, i got a lot of wicked rephlex releases from some years back, then a week or so ago i listened to this new 'black devil' release and i couldn't believe what i heard, it's utter wank i really can't believe that these labels release this crappy and cheesy stuff nowadays, of course it's just my taste and opinion but i still choose afx/ae/plaid etc. stuff over all this dancehall/funk/poprock and god knows what, that seems to be the hype these days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i admit though that warp already went wrong with jimi tenor in the past :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'gabba' is my universal name for everything i don't like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the edit that came out on planet mu is pretty good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jimi tenor has done some pretty great stuff, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are your favourite skam artist, then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never really liked most stuff on mu anyway except some VS, leafcutter john, etc.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
idm turned crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well tolstoyed, that's what i was thinking. or at least once everyone gets into computers and starts making it, it all starts to sound the same and so then everyone goes in the opposite direction and tries to incorporate actual instruments to prove that they're *real* musicians. i prefer my electronic music straight, no stupid instruments, no singing. anyway, i think IDM has a pretty shitty sound palette to begin with. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ddamage, edit, datach'i... good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i miss originality the most. im still hoping for afx to come up with something and save the genre :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm pretty bored with the jungle revival thing, especially since most of it is just old style jungle, there's nothing new or innovative about most of it and shitmat is terrible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i worry that one day, the mainstream will steal the idm beats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? It will make mainstream music more interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree completly! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, mainstream ruins everything... punk, metal, techno, it's all in the hands of 12 year old mall kids now... it's all marketing... i don't want to see squarepusher brought to you by 'hanes her way' or budweiser. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex already sold his music for commercials, and lots of IDM (BOC and such) are used in documentaries and stuff... we're already there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know that if "IDM" ever gets introduced to the mainstream, it's just going to make IDM sound even more homogenous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... or the opposite will happen... I mean IDM is such a broad genre it's hard to define -the- "IDM sound"... It's already happening, and it will improve other music. so it's all good in my opinion. Sometimes I am forced to listen to mainstream music (e.g. when going out for drinks) and if the music sounds more IDM than it does today, I think that'll be an improvement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not possible to make it more homogenous as it already is :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, edit is pretty good. kinda comes off like a poor man's prefuse, but it's good nonetheless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM? have you ever thought of how stupid that sounds? Intelligent Dance Musik? how can you dance intelligent? and why do people always want to label music? Planet-mu, warp, rephlex, skam, hymen, etc etc all release beautifull music, whether you like it or not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a reason i put "IDM" in quotations... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Freeform, Gescom, Bola. I also like Wevie Stonder - the one they got the most flack for for signing them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

wow, this discussion has evolved to actually containing every boring old topic! in ONE thread you can now find discussions on: - labels not doing what people expect them to do and therefore "turning to crap" - IDM or whatever this genre is called turning to shit in it's totality because it's changing and we don't that - mainstream ruining IDM or whatever this genre is called and as a bonus, that antique of the messageboards: - IDM is a stupid term! THAT'S VALUE FOR MONEY!! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops, that should read: - IDM or whatever this genre is called turning to shit in it's totality because it's changing and we don't want that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
idm is changing? changing to what? they kinda lost ideas and are doing the same thing over and over again, and that's kinda boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre havn't lost their way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
change takes time.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you don't like "IDM" as it is then do something about it. I write music i enjoy so should you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Most electronic music has become stale, the place to look is the bands and individuals who play out or hock their cd themselves. Most of the labels mentioned above have some very high quality releases but I'd never look to them for the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It does seem to be the way i am finding this to be the case more often now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think labels 'turned into crap' but it is a fact the latest releases are of a totally different style, which i don't like. I've never liked rap and men-voices. Pure electronica is a rare gem to me, idm or not, it is just what you like. i totally dig the CCO releases. That's the stuff.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meh, im not into teh_briandance that much anyway, electronic bleepy stuff or cut up ragga stuff, whatever. I do think the big labels have kind of lost it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love men-voices. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As for Ambulance.... i've seen them a few times and am aquainted with one the lads too. Their music is excellent and the got a track on "children of mu" compilation thats absolutey gorgeous. "Vale.." is a must-get album for all electronica fans..... |
||||||||
|
|

well, this afternoon I listened to freeform – wildcat. I wasn’t impressed actually, it’s not my style. The artwork is very cool, though. I also listened to edit, which I liked more, but still gave me a mediocre feeling. It’s nice, but not great. So I know, planet Mu is not all great, but I still think some of you are sticking to the big names like Warp and rephlex too much. |
