Allmusic.com is a very huge music site, you'll find reviews for ANYTHING on there. It even gives a list of an artists best tracks. |

WE SONT SAY IDM ANYMORE IN THIS BOARD.... NOW IT IS... GEM good electronic music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

sont=dont |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah I like IDM..I will stick to it thank you GEM sounds corny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
use braindance...tis a much better and more fitting as the rephlex site puts it it's not "intelligent", it's not "dance", it's not "music" it's so much more... it's "BRAINDANCE" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I like Braindance as well..but I relate it to the more damaged and rawer sounding stuff like the stuff on Rephlex...IDM stuff..like stuff on Warp tends to be cleaner more polished..I think it's a nice distinction.. like Chaos AD Vs Hard Normal Daddy..also Braindance is almost always danceable(I know there are exceptions) while IDM also encompasses non rhythmic..atonal..asymmetric..glitchy stuff..like say Pansonic..wont exactly be called Braindance...there's a need for term like IDM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and as a lame plug that'll get me nowhere but abuse try www.iocentral.org if anything it is trying to be a collective of reviews done by random people. have a look there, although it kinda needs more to it, just don't know what... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe, but it is really kind of random rather than 'intelligent' experimental is another term as most if not all 'warp' style people cannot be soundly placed in any particular term, altho maybe 'leftfield' i suppose |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
nah never pictured me self as the voice of authority!! thanks but no thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

nac mat: doesn't GEM same "problem" as IDM? people say that the term idm implies that only idm music is intelligent, making it a little pretentious. gem basically tells the same thing. why not Electonic Listening Music? anyway, in my opinion, idm is here to stay. it's too late to change it back! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I fail to see what's wrong with IDM..it's serviced the genres quite well and pluging it into a search engine will bring up tons of well established resources on line.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its just a media phrase so they can try and understand then go back to their 'proper' music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is why it's too late to change it. the term is well established. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and who cares what the term actually means? it's what it refers to that is important, imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
korben dallas came up with a pretty good term.. Braincouch :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is never too late dont you like revolution? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't really dig the slogan "idm" anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and regarding your original question I agree with ophecks..all music is the most comprehensive and in depth site I have seen..excellent reviews and such and the deep linking is pretty cool too.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe - yeah, i tend to make braincouch opposed to braindance :) i don't really mind idm - and yeah allmusic is da poo's .. specially the linking. forced exposure is quite cool .. features a few reviews by Hrvatski. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, allmusic seems to have pretty much everything. thanks for the info. greatly appreciated :) on a related topic, does anyone recommand grooves magazine? ive never seen it, but from what i can tell from their website, it seems to be a great source of info for idm/braindance/gem/etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I love allmusic.com. I always check out info on artists I'm not familiar with on that site. Reviews, links, similar artists, it's got it all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the WIRE magazine seems to have a very good coverage of IDM and all other experimental genres..electronic and otherwise |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although it does label all that under 'electronica' amongst others idm tis rarely mentioned |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM is ok, electronica is a bit vague, i prefer Braindance tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually it also does things like leftfield and experimental etc too i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but stuff like afx, global goon and agf get filed under 'electronica' in their reviews section... |
||||||||
