In the early 90's, electronic artists of more creative ambition and individuality began to grow wary of the of the quick-press, homogenous, disposable, house and techno movement and intrinsically, the faceless mobs that were whimsically defining what would be the future of electronic music. With the churning out of DJ albums showcasing nameless artists, techno music was forsaking art for Industry. In the UK, Ed Handley and Andy Turner, who had released an album under the name PLAID (Mbuki Mvuki which was only mildly indicative of what the future would bring) hooked up with Ken Downie and became BLACK DOG in 1991. Black Dog is generally regarded as the first band to regularly garner the "Intelligent Techno" description - most notably acclaimed for their album, "Bytes" (1993). At the same time, ORBITAL had begun to attain some critical notoriety and was beginning to take techno music out of the clubs and into the cafes, composing albums where the mighty 12 inch single had been the staple of many a techno act. While Orbital was never fully regarded as part of the "scene" that was becoming defined more thoroughly by the works of RICHARD JAMES (APHEX TWIN) and AUTECHRE, they have been considered an influential step in bringing the more ambient / introspective wave of techno to market. Labels, WARP RECORDS and Richard James's own REPHLEX RECORDS became commercial springboards in 1992 / 1993 and what we think of as "IDM" became more of a distinction, achieving genre status. There is another consensus that states "IDM" really started as far back as Kraftwerk in the mid to late 80's and there is no doubt a wide variety of influences have been drawn upon in order to create the complex idea IDM has become today. A listing of influences by two of the acts named in the "IDM artists" above gives credit to "The Swans", "The KLF", and "808 State", "Run DMC" and "Pink Floyd". Only the "Ambient" movement paralleled the subversive, exclusively dedicated following that has attached itself to IDM until t |

I do not agree. The definition is too long. Why even try ? |

I like Henry Kaiser's idea that if he owned a music store he wouldn't have sections for different genres, just one big catalog of sounds. |

EEM = Experimental Electronic Music fits better don't u think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
well its mostly not experimental - and a lot of it isnt just electronic |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Electronica. simple. unpretentious. nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've always hated the term electronica. i simply call it electronic music. but sometimes when i say 'electronic' people think i'm into techno/house. so 'experimental electronic music' seems more accurate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rchrddvdjms: it's mostly experimental compared to other electronic music genres. and all of it has some electronic elements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
electronica is just as pretentious as IDM, although not quite so pretentious as "laptronica" |

If it wasn't called "Intelligent Electronic Music" how would all the smart people locate it amongst the Dj Irene Cd's? I cant remember the last time I saw little ravers and clubbers listening to anything but "thump thump thump". |

braindance! I hate categories though, a lot of people limit themselves because they get a predetermined notion about a certain category and refuse to listen. If it was one big A-Z selection at your local record shop, you'd be more inclined to listen or maye check out an artist based on curiosity of album cover or name. When people avoid certain sections they limit themselves. My friends are huge at this. Stright to the metal section then leave. |

i like the classification IDM cuz its electronic but its not ur normal industrial or stupid unst unst unst type shit. i just don't like the almost arrogant meaning it has....Intelligent Dance Music i prefer that over some stupid name like laptronica. wtf is that supposed to mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think most of it isnt that intelligent, and also cant be danced to. ;) I say internet dork because most of the listeners share their music on the internet (and make some of their music on their computers) and dork because everyone here is a bit nerdy/dorky/ect, and thats a good thing. Yes indeed. |
