well its true man. I cant listen to it as much these days. Sure i still love what i own, but everything is verging on same now. As for everyone thinking aphex twin is flawless, come on man. Almost all of his albums have like, 30% incomprehensible nonsense on them. Wind tunnels on drukqs? Headache mania. Not that im saying he's shit, cause the songs i like are just awesome. You cant beat a real song with words. Something you can come back to. |

That strange land where Electronic and Rock meet is the place to be these days. At least, that's why I'm listening to. *nods* |

I thought I was the only one here who thought that. He's a genius, about 15% of his stuff I love, the rest is inpenetrable. |

maybe stop thinking in terms of e-music and not e-music? to me it's just music, great artists in so many genres. there's always some great stuff coming by. i just think in terms of artist doing good things. |

aphextriplet you are misled and misinformed; there is PLENTY of good and challenging electronic music still coming out, and i highly doubt your cannon of existing electronic music is complete. i know mine's not! |

theres way too much electronic music out there for it to get old or start to stink. you need to look harder buddy. the good stuff is there. |

I agree, there's about 10 electronic cds I could name off the top of my head that've came out this year, that are mindblowing. |

you can't beat a good song with words!? what!?? music doesnt need to have "words".. though I think most people would call them LYRICS.. for it to be good.. or "something you can come back to" what a rediculous broadstroke.. let's forget about the many "wordless" pieces by chopin, mozart, miles davis, aphex twin etc etc etc.. because they fail to provide the insight dashboard confessional does about breakups what a stupid thing to say.. |

and by the way, electronic music is utterly limitless.. it's not restricted to the patterns and trends of the late nineties etc.. how can one with access to confield make such a statement?? the future is great for this music.. this is where to be I do agree with what you said about artists who adopt electronic techniques/ology to advance their music should be applauded u2, radiohead, madonna, flaming lips (artists that previously - save for madonna - were limited by traditional rock of whatever genre from which they derived) |

radiohead and the flaming lips are both successful in that regard (in my opinion). achtung baby may be my favorite rock album of all time, and part of the reason for that is the dark atmosphere created by the shades of early nineties euro electronica used. after that point i would say U2 were less successful. discotheque anyone? madonna, well, she keeps trying to be bjork, and her music falls flat on its face. speaking of which, bjork does an excellent job with electronic music. i'd say shes one of the few artists in "semi mainstream" music that could be considered "idm". sort of. |
||||||||

|

and anyone who owns SAW vol2 should never, EVER make a statement like "electronic music has limits." because you can easily lose yourself in that album for an eternity. atleast i can. |
||||||||

definitely. an infinite expanse. |

smeg chop montgomery, everyone talks about how good saw2 is, maybe I should buy it :P Electronic music is the be all and end all imo :) |

I bought it at the end of last year upon many many recommendations by people here at Xlt. Some good reasons for buying it: 1. It's 2CDs of new (to you) Aphex music 2. It's the best music to put on when you're at the computer, I mean the best. 3. It's also brilliant for rainy days, sleeping troubles and reading books by. 4. And, best of all, it's just great music. |

the history of electronic music goes back quite aways, too... especially if you enjoy the experimental stuff. "silver apples of the moon" could fit nicely on a mix with current autechre (which isn't to say it sounds like autechre). variety is the key, though. there certainly isn't any reason to limit oneself to so-called electronic music. |

Freejazz is the new IDM. Meaning that it's difficult and you can look cool listening to it and wear your special IDM eyeglasses and also jazz is often associated with negroes so it is "hip". |

your mind will be blown this summer with the release of C-SND-001 |
