That music-y feeling...
 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-25 02:22 [#00074644]



I LOVE getting into a special new band and rummaging through
their work...

Getting into Beatles was enlightening, every new album I
bought was a joy, every one of them was so different from
the others, it was surprise after surprise. (except Beatles
For Sale, that album sucks)

And hearing all Aphex's stuff was great. An adventure, like
the Beatles. (of course, RDJ is shit compared to Lennon, but
who isn't?)
I miss that... never being able to be a ''new'' Beatlemaniac
or Aphexhead.

Anyway, I wish I could go back in time and erase all
knowledge about the Beatles and Aphex and others, cuz
nothing I've heard since Aphex (a little over a year ago,
now) gives me that same feeling.

ya it would be cool to rediscover your favourite music all
over again..

hear it again for the first time w/ fresh ears..


 

Taxi on 2002-01-25 02:54 [#00074651]



Now its your turn to discover AE.

I envy you.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-25 02:56 [#00074655]



discover new music... that's what I find exciting,
discovering new types of music, like world music,
electronica, jazz...


 

AMinal from toronto, canada on 2002-01-25 02:59 [#00074658]



ok.. i went from.. well the dark ages of my music..
to some minor electronica..
then aphex twin.. then autechre.. then boards of canada..
now ive sort of temperarily run out of new music...

so whats the next step?
any recommendations?



 

Taxi on 2002-01-25 03:01 [#00074659]



Go deep into their perspective record labels.

Planet-µ is nice :)



 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-25 03:02 [#00074660]



I'm right into world music now... It doesn't seem many
people are interested on this board, but I posted a topic on
Afro Celt Sound System, and didn't get a single response,
but if you're interested in checking out some freaked out
music, check out their new album Further in Time... also,
Passion by Peter Gabriel is friggin awesome... I've seen a
few posts agreeing with my feelings about Passion on this
board anyways...


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-25 03:04 [#00074662]



Further in Time, it's like a cross between Braveheart,
Survivor, Passion, Daft Punk (maybe, think of some dancy
electronic artist), and it's quite good... check out the
song Silken Whip I believe it's called... it's great...
also, Collosus is very cool as well...


 

Taxi on 2002-01-25 03:09 [#00074664]



I have this ancient disco/world music cd called voyage. They
are french. It is totally dope.

But world music just sounds way too pretensious for me right
now. Thats just my opinion. My interest in world stops at
Axiom records.

I am listening to team dobyi's cryptoburners right now.
Highly suggested.

Also, Chris Ochre has been sending out copies of his new cd,
and that is beyond lush. You can find him in mp3.com


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-25 03:16 [#00074667]



Well, I've ''rummaged'' through all AE's stuff, and they are
amazing... but it isn't the same feeling. Aphex was more
surprising, hearing all his phases and styles.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-25 03:21 [#00074670]



Boards of Canada, Mu-Ziq, Squarepusher... the really big
established IDM artists, they're all amazing, but it's just
not the same.

My major phases were Metallica (heh), Black Sabbath/Ozzy,
Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Aphex, in
that order.

These are the only bands/artists I got that ''feeling''
from.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-25 03:24 [#00074673]



I don't know if any non-Canadians on here have heard of The
Tea PArty, but they're a good World music band, who it's
probably far to say, have never been put into that
category... but their Edges of Twilight album is indian rock
music.., sitars, and all that good stuff with all out rock
music... it's great... I guess they were the ones who
sparked my interest in Indian music, and from there other
music from around the world... check out the song Sister
Awake, it's a great song...


 

AMinal from toronto, canada on 2002-01-25 03:26 [#00074674]



hm.. yes ive gone through many of those phases myself (i
love squarepusher, he was my first electronic phase.. then i
moved on to afx)
.. and i know all of the big names in idm now..

i checked out Skam records (theres a link to them from the
BOC webpage) and their artists sound pretty interestinG(they
have a few little samples/videos on the site)
does anyone know about Freeflow? any recommended tracks?

my latest discovery has been mouse on mars i guess.. pretty
good but its no afx..


 

Taxi on 2002-01-25 03:31 [#00074675]



Scam is more or less Autechres record label.

One of the neat things about autechre is the context of the
music changes when you play with the different variations of
the pronunciation of their name.

When you think of it like (Oh-tech-er) it seems more
mechanical and detached. When you think of it like
(Au-tech-ra) it takes on a more human tone. And their
programing is tighter than anything else out there. Its
soooo good. Beautiful.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-25 03:32 [#00074676]



yeah, I don't know but I like Autechre better then Aphex
Twin... it is hard to compare the two, cause they are very
different, but Autechres music is just so cool...


 

Taoist Blockade from Vancouver Canada on 2002-01-25 03:35 [#00074679]



Yeah check out Constellation records. Godspeed you black
emperor! Do Make Say think. CHeck out Alien8 too, Set fire
to flame. Chheck out Silver Mt Zion, all the godspeed side
projects (there are like 10) These guys are UNBELIEVABLE.


 

Intruder from chicago on 2002-01-25 04:03 [#00074688]



Damn. sorry. i swear i was with you, ALL the way up until
you started talking about the beatles.

*sigh*


 

m on 2002-01-25 10:13 [#00074774]



I really got that feeling with otto von schirach 8000 bc.
when I first listened to samples from cdnow.com I knew it
was insane at least but didn't know how it would hold up.
then I recieved it in the mail and the cover of some little
guy with a bionic hand and a foolish grin was wicked. then I
opened it up, and it smelled totally weird, unlike any other
cd I purchased, maybe it has weird smelling ink or the
manufacturing process of this cd included just the right
perfume applied to the booklets, then I looked at the
booklet's insane picture and knew that this was something
special, something very unique and wicked, the sound was
insanely detailed and intricate autechre but went in a cut
and paste squarepusher style. escalo frio didn't have the
same impact so far. I'll probably buy everything he does now
that I've heard 8000 bc.


 

mookid on 2002-01-25 12:22 [#00074803]



hey ophecks, ever heard captain beefheart? if you like the
beatles you could probably get into his stuff. its pretty
experimental guitar based stuff, and its fantastic.


 

Korben Dallas from nz on 2002-01-25 12:31 [#00074804]



Dare i mention early Zappa :)


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-25 16:16 [#00074854]



I've heard OF Captain Beefheart, but I've never actually
heard him... I heard he was fantastic, but there's so much
music out there to hear, so little time... I think I'll
check that out. Trout Mask Replica, I heard that was good.


 

mookid on 2002-01-25 17:54 [#00074889]



NO! trout mask replica isnt a wise choice IMO. go for
clearspot/spotlight kid or safe as milk(john lennon called
this an excellent album) They are much more acessable. Hope
you do check it out, and enjoy!


 

wayout on 2002-01-26 00:09 [#00074963]



it is a great feeling finding something really great for the
first time like that ...
i've been having it all year ..with squarepusher, boc,
prefuse 73, cex...tons

most recently when i got rotor+'s album 'aileron'

now that i've gotten into most of the big name idm
artists..i've begun to branch out into finding lesser known
artists and getting into different types of music like hip
hop and such..

im actually in the process of checking out a bunch of new
artists right now...isan, cim, manitoba, lustmord...all
pretty impressive so far...i can tell that remaining $40 on
my credit card isnt going to last very long...


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-26 00:23 [#00074966]



I'm in the process of downloading Cim- Reference, heard he
was good.
I know what you mean, I'm branching out lately into the more
obscure artists... but the thing is, their libraries aren't
as vast... Aphex's is HUGE, that's what I mean by exploring
their stuff, I guess. He's the head honcho, the innovator,
and is so varied. As great as Autechre and BOC are, they
were more predictable for me, every album was similar to the
previous one. It wasn't like Aphex, who reinvents himself
time after time. Hearing SAW1, SO different from SAW2, then
the contrast between ICBYD and RDJ... then there's the early
4/4 stuff... Now Drukqs, which I think outdoes everything
else... I guess RDJ and the Beatles are the only artists
that have ever really affected me, they were each a epiphany
for me. Kind of the kings of their respective genres.

The Beatles... don't even get me started on them. ;-)


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2002-01-26 00:37 [#00074970]



I guess mp3s kind of ruined everything. The feeling of
finding and aphex on vinyl you've never gotten to hear
before because you couldn't find it is probably more
amazing.

Don't worry about going back on Aphex tho Ophecks, there are
fucking thousands of artists. I'm even starting to think,
that even though Aphex Twin is the best electronic artist of
all time, some others are kinda on the same plateau as he
is, they just didn't quite make it for whatever reason,
maybe how they marketed themselves, or maybe just luck.
Although I hate to compare them, there are a thousand girls
auditioning for girl bands who look just like britney spears
and have just as much (or lack thereof) talent, they just
don't make it for whatever reason.

The point is...


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2002-01-26 00:38 [#00074971]



Ophecks explore µ-Ziq...


 

Quoth from Lincoln on 2002-01-26 00:47 [#00074973]



Ophecks:

Do you have Internet Addiction Disorder?
Jesus man, you're on here like 24/7!


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-26 00:57 [#00074977]



Quoth- Yes. :-D Please get me a girlfriend, or at least a
fuck buddy.
Xanatos- I did. He's amazing, but he ain't Aphex. :-(


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2002-01-26 00:59 [#00074978]



About MP3s... I dunno... to me, PERSONALLY, it's not
different than buying the albums, it hasn't hurt the
enjoyment at all. I can definitely understand how someone
could rather the record... but it's not an issue with me.


 

Quoth from Lincoln on 2002-01-26 01:01 [#00074980]



I think that in order to fully understand the artist, you
need to purchase their "RECORDS/CDS/CASSETTES/MDS/what ever
the fuck music is put on by corporate scum"!


 

Quoth from Lincoln on 2002-01-26 01:02 [#00074982]



Ophecks:

All the girls like me, unfortunately. I'm sure I could try
and convince them that you're here and looking. Not enough
Tuna for the Sperm Whales, you know what I mean?


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-26 02:57 [#00074996]



yeah, when I was first getting into Aphex Twin over the
summer, I had the RDJ album bought, and I had read up on his
other albums, and I heard ICBYD was his masterpiece...
anyways, when I went to the record store and actually found
it there, boy what a thrill... and then I played it on the
way home, and I must've listened to Alberto Balsalm 2 or 3
times... it was great... that's one of the reasons why I
love buying cds... it's the whole experience...


 

wayout on 2002-01-26 05:12 [#00075016]



i really dont depend that much on mp3s...i usually just
download a few tracks from an artist..at the most ..and then
try and find the album..

a lot of my more recent purchases were made without even
hearing the artist prior...like the rotor+ album...i wasnt
even sure what to expect when i got it...so i was pleasantly
surprised when i actually listened to it..
