Has The Tuss finally killed IDM? Have they managed to forge a new genre? Something one can aspire to rather than simply mimic? You thought electronica was going to pot, you thought it was all fucked up beats and bad pads. Or berks putting out Acid Acid (Acid Mix). Or amatuers and their "Hey, just done a track, took me twenty minutes". The Tuss. The Tuss. Four tracks so far. An album soon. The Tuss. The Tuss. Unassuming, no hype, minimal marketing fan boy fleecing, just the music. Who saw The Tuss coming? The Tuss. Better than Acid. Better than Aphex. Better than all that's gone before. The Tuss. IDM is dead. Post-Tuss is where it's at. |

Did you know that on xltronic you can write things? |

Ok, I have two questions. I think they're about british slang terms. 1. "...going to pot." Is that like going to shit? Is pot slang for toilet? I mean, I've heard the phrase "going potty". Is there a relation? 2. What is "The Tuss"? Is it slang for vagina or what? I'm just guessing here, because "tuss" sounds sort of hairy, and moist too. Thanks "mates"! "Cheers!" :) |

"Tuss" is from the latin root that means cough. In French the word morphed into toux. The Tuss might also be a reference to Robitussin, containing, DXM, which deepens my suspicion that The Tuss, Aphex and Monoid are really the same person. |

Tuss is cornish UK slang for 'erection' |

LOL. riiiiiiiiiiiiight. |

someone actually thought Tuss is good? |

I'd rather classify The Tuss as post-"acieeed" era Tuss-step/brainfusion, mixing the best elements of classic stuff like "early Warp", "original, Rephlex-style Braindance" and "proto-IDM". Fan suspicion is minimal as to whose identity lies behind these acieeed soaked traxx, but for those who wonder, there is always Wikipedia and the unwaveringly reliable IDM forums, where only the most stern, thorough fans habitually converse in order to rationally certify the various identities and side projects of otherwise highly prestigous artists, such as The Flashbulb, Arovane, Pendulum, The Aphex Twins and many more. Have they killed IDM? Irrelevant. IDM is a phoenix. Burns out, reawakens from its ashes and repeats this procedure endlessly. |

whenever on oink i feel pretty safe to ignore the IDM category. seriously. |

No, because IMO The Tuss isn't IDM like Analord wasn't IDM. |

||||||||
|
|

The Tuss killed IDM The Tuss resuscitated EEM The Tuss cured Elusive's Insanity Is there nothing it can't do? The Tuss. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
say no to IDM, say yes to BRAINDAAAAAAAANCE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I've not heard the tracks yet but I love them because they might be Aphex. This is pretty much what it boils down to. |
||||||||
|

The Tuss. |

i've already made a t-shirt. ahead of the game. |

|
its not experimental electronic music though, most of the experimenting stopped pre 2000 . the term quasi-experimental electronic music would be more fitting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find the term "experimental" when applied as an umbrella term to any genre is really quite... pretentious (no offense because I still like EEM far more than "IDM"). But, is it not possible that an artist knows exactly what he/she wants to accomplish with a track before making it? I can think of plenty of good electronic tracks that don't do anything particularly experimental (unless you consider making music with a computer an experiment) but sound great nonetheless. Perhaps I just need some clarification here. Which element of EEM are we considering to be "experimental?" Certainly it's not the music as an idea/concept, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Didn't see jack's post prior to my last one, but I agree with the term quasi-experimental electronic music, or QUEEM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
QUEEM it is! Ladies, when you all work together, magic happens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
call it synth noodling music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And that magic was sparked by The Tuss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Oh, what's that you're listening to, it sounds zany." "QUEEM!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fingers crossed.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or another variation - generic avant-garde electronic music gagem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey, doofus, what music you into lately? Well, I've gone off IDM, I listen to a lot more Queem and Gagem lately. Queem... Gagem ? What sort of music's that? You know, The Tuss, that kind of shit. Cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always referred to music as either. music good music or. crazy good music the tuss is: crazy good music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Queem - yes, that sounds silly enough to be accepted by post-IDM fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

queem seems queer enough it might work by golly |

I love Richard James' ginger skinny sausage. I will buy anything you put in front of me that you claim may have had his involvement. I also love his ingenious stranglehold control over the smug little clique of culturally bereft and cringingly immature finger-sniffers that make up His royal court and much of the Rephlex roster and beyond, and the way they lick His royal ginger arse daily and do His bidding in the Great Struggle to maintain the illusion that he is somehow a musical prodigy who built his own instruments and invented all forms of music sometime around 1988. |
