Don't get me wrong, Rephlex put out some excellent music. But I am a little sick off all this 'Braindance' bollocks. I mean that picture of a brain with a foot coming out of the bottom is absolute shite for starters. What's more, where Braindance might well be "boundless; entertaing; rephreshing; fulfilling" etc., why do they have to boast about it? I think the most exciting element about this kind of music is that it does not pretend to be anything - it is incredibly personal and thus highly mentally stimulating. When we have to be told how fucking amazing the music is by the artist/label themselves it comes across as incredibly pretentious and even quite arrogant. |

Err, I think "Braindance" is really just a marketing/general term the Rephlex folks use as a blanket label for their music. Personally, when I think of braindance, I think of Crappy, or that one song off of the RDJ album, where the songs are funky as hell and you want to dance to them, but you'd look like you're suffering from a seizure, so you have to resort to letting your mind wig out instead. Anyhow, just keep in mind Rephlex is a business, too, and they need to sell and market stuff. I kinda like the brain foot logo, it's corny. Course passerbys can never make out the "braindance" text on the back of their shirts, they always think it says "brain damage". Anyhow, they're just enthusiastic, and marketing their goods... |

why is it that labels such as Warp and Scam don't behave in the same manner then? |

Erm, because Warp is much bigger than Rephlex, which is still run out of a house, I believe. Warp has a larger variety of "genres" (don't like that word) in their larger rosters than Rephlex. It's a give/take thing. I see a lot of people not signed to Rephlex who label themselves as "braindance" and I think its silly, but it's their right. Maybe Rephlex will get big some day and sue them for copyright violations ;-). Right now though, I just see the blanket term "braindance" used by a buncha mates at Rephlex. It's no big deal really. It's just words... plenty of more important things to ponder, like those poor starving kids in Beverly Hills, California. |

Hmm.... good point, Grey Gentleman. Good point. DMX Krew doesn't seem like braindance to me... just cool 80's retro pop. Good point. |

Yeah Warp has Red Snapper on their label. Thats FAR away from "IDM" {hate that term} Red Snapper is like hip hop-ish with beats and stuff. Very good. But I do KINDA agree about the braindance thing its kinda lame in my opinion. I mean I love REPHLEX records and stuff, but still thats stupid to me. |

This is so obvious. I wonder who these 2 people going around posting on every topic are? The same??? Hm... so hard to figure out indeed. What stupid shit, no one cares. Don't you see people are just ignoring you and keeping the real topic going around your shit? Red Snapper is now with what company? |

Organ Grinder: I think Grey Genlteman's points are far from 'good'. Commenting on 'poor starving kids in Beverly Hills' - you could be doing just the same thing mate. |

I can totally agree with that first post in a way. I'd rather not be told what something is by whoever makes or endorses it. I like to make up my own mind. I dont like people telling me that choosy moms choose jif because what if i was out of skippy? |

and watmm's very own thanksomuch used to post here 3 years ago. I don't like the braindance thing either, it's a bit of a gimmick more than anything else. |

"abstract electronica" is just as pretentious/ambiguous/ridiculous a term as "idm".. braindance is just a marketing term that rephlex use. they insist on describing it because they have to give potential customers some idea of what theyre buying. its no good just trying to sell to people who already know what theyre buying. to keep up + running they have to attract new business. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Besides i think they are always half serious half joking, just look at the words used to describe it! As ecnadniarb said it's not to be taken seriously at all... :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i agree. i never took the term braindance seriously, and don't think it is a serious attempt from rephlex. more like a tounge in cheek, ironic statement. it also ties in with sleevenotes from the sixties where someone would boast about the significance of the particular release(which rephlex brilliantly did with the tango n vectif release). this i think explains why rephlex says they are: "boundless; entertaing; rephreshing; fulfilling". all in all, just a humourus way of describing their musical profile. |

erm.. read the first post..? i'm sure it holds the key. |

mine was a retoric question meaning that I find his argument a little weak above all the first paragraph: "Don't get me wrong, Rephlex put out some excellent music. But I am a little sick off all this 'Braindance' bollocks. I mean that picture of a brain with a foot coming out of the bottom is absolute shite for starters." |
