Commercials are completely stupid and i dont think they affect anything. Its better than selling out to some label where they own the rights to your music etc. These artists are in it for the right reasons and didnt sell out in the beginning so in my opinion there justified. Some were along the way they decided to quit there jobs and make music which is how they got were they are. One of the reasons i like IDM is because your average everyday joe doesnt get it, it 's not appealing to a good chunk of the population. So these artist dont sell millions and millions of copies like the more mainstream artist, when they get these opportunities to make money i think they really deserve it . |

A generic term for music like Aphex Twin. It stands for 'Intelligent Dance Music'. Clever, eh? =| |

i don't think 'intelligent' nor 'dance' is quite the word to describe it... |

Exactly. |

Especially 'dance'. It just makes it sound like it's house or something, and house is nowhere near 'intelligent'. |

'electronica' is fine to me however, we're getting off-topic, arent we? |

They had to come up with something at the beginning of the nineties. Maybe the term was introduced in the middle of the nineties instead. Back those days electronic music was not that differentiated as these days. Lotta new styles were created since then and lot of new feelings. Now it really sounds overmentioned, stupid, and pigeon-holed. |

Baisically the way I have heard it explained, the BBC determines which songs are sold to advertising companies for use in commercials and such. At least with any music released in countries in the UK. So if a warp or µ or rephlex artist has a track used in a commercial its not their choice. They still get paid for it tho. I don't know if it is the same for artists not residing in england that are published under a british label. As far as I am concerned, its ok if a song I like is used in a commercial. I personally think commercials are great, and the best way to subvert their influence is to enjoy (for whatever reason) the commercials and NOT buy the product. I am also going to be doing something sometime soon where I beatmix about 50 or 60 commercial soundtrax into a half hour continuous mix. The sad thing is, advertising is one of the most potent artforms of the late twentieth century, and prolly the earlier twenty first. |
