unsung heroes in IDM?

Which artist are to you unsung heroes in IDM? To me it's
B12 from the early '90. The music was so influencial at that
time, but they haven't got the audience this days they earn.

artemis,

B12 don't appear to release music anymore or if they do its
going pretty unnoticed.

Well unsung heroes; I'd definitely have to go for someone
like Clatterbox who is on Hydrogen Dukebox records. He is
pretty exceptional, he was on Clear Records originally which
kinda came out of Rephlex. Some of the Mircromusic.net
producers go pretty unnoticed I guess. I think Gwem is
pretty top rate and so is DRX (one half of Bodenstandig
2000).

Tom Middleton...for all his work with Global
Communication...Reload...Jedi Knights, and most notably for
all his early work with Aphex on the Bubblebaths that made
Aphex so famous...

yeah...but he was one of those people that are quite
forgotten...I mean...after all he was there during the
formative years of the scene...and today, not too many
people go around sayin 'Tom Middleton is my hero'...I think
his work with Reload is just amazing.

it was a progression for me..

hip hop
industrial
house
breakbeat
jungle
idm

i guess the first 'idm' i was really into was the orbs
adventures beyond the ultraworld album released in 94 i
guess.

alnuit,

Yes yes yes I totally second Tom Middleton. Reload and
Global Comms sorry no one can touch them. Reload especially,
extremely high quality material and innovation. Why the hell
did they grind to a halt? 1993's 'A Collection of Short
Stories' was such a good record. And Global Communications
(sigh) oh they were so so good. Shame he is now producing
pretty unnoticeable music. The other half of Reload has gone
on to make really trashy disgusting Ibiza crappy yobby get
drunk and be crude as hell dance music sad sad sad.

"A collection of short stories" is a briliant collection.
Reload were definitely amazing. Just look at the number of
guys that continue to remix "Le Soleil et la Mer" till
today...

I know its not really IDM, But still DMX Krew deserves so
much attention for his brilliant music. I just know, if
people ever heard his shit, they'd adore it, but they
don't........ He's underrated...

Good topic this one, instead of everything being about AE
and Afx.

Hate to break it to you but Tom Middleton is Cosmos who went
on to do a lot of house and ibiza tunes. Mark Pritchard now
does a lot of hip hop, he was also behind the rave version
of rhubarb and custard....

That is so gutting! How can Middleton make cool tracks with
Aphex and then do that yob shit as Cosmos? Really sad. That
Cosmos shite is so utterly disgusting, I hate it, hate it,
hate it. Such pleb music.

severed heads were making stuff in the early 80's
- -> http://sevcom.com/

mad cut and paste stuff. i heard in an interveiw lately that
he still uses a commadore64 to sequence his music.

severed heads made many classic mutant electronic tunes.
check out the "hot with fleas" 12", and "dead eyes opened"
ep, and the album "come visit the big bigot" (called "the
big bigot" in australia).

for more noise oriented severed heads, check out "since the
accident" and "city slab horror."

anything after 1988 is going to be spotty. their career was
ruined by association with the so-called industrial sound
(which they really never had) that became very
unfashionable, subsequent apparent attempts at a clubbier
sound, as well as a few weak albums and singles.

other artists who don't get mentioned here (but should)
include:

tim koch: a plaid vibe with great melodies and catchy
rhythms. see "shorts in alaska."

sogar: warm sparkly static flows up and over you. see
"stengel."

ok i dont know if you'd call him a "hero"... (i dont think
hes very influential)... but autechre like him, and i'd feel
like a hero if they liked me.. im talking about

FREEFORM!!!!!

no one ever mentions him!! hes VERY under-rated imo.....

check out "elastic speakers", his first album and by far the
most conventional sound, but very very good, and the easiest
to get into

his music just gets weirder from there.. hes developed a
pretty organic sound, especially Audiotourism
his latest is Human which is also cool... lots of complex,
"skittering" rhythms and combinations of sounds

anyways very good and underrated

Lyrics from Chopped Zombie Fungus out takes I through III

Benadict: "Hello, my name is Benadict. I am here to ask you
some questions, for your fans out there, the vampires of
IDM"

Otto: "fffffffuuuu---oh a oh a ha hu ay! I don't make fuckin
IDDDMMMMmmmmm"

Benedict: "oooohhh."

Benedict: "My first question is about your third album. The
glamourous Chopped Zombie Fungus Trilogy. Are you
considering perhaps bonus material? Like extra songs, you
know, for the vampires?"

Otto: "Boom boom, rock speggetti, toe picker, use a
blueberry, toe sniffer. Hello, fris my nik, rub my tit,
cheese cake."

Benadict: "Ohh. Indeed, indeed. I truely do respect a man
with talent. Well, for my second question. Is it true, a man
with your intelligence has inverted nipples?"

Otto: "Boom, take a picture, of my armpit, so my belly
button, won't be jealous"

Benadict: "Ohhh! oooo. Ladies and Gentlemen, what an answer,
Indeeeeed!"

Otto: "oh a oh a o e A! paranoid, I dont make i-i-i-i-d-m,
fuck idm, YOUR GONNA GET SMAKED DOWN!"

Benadict: "Spoken like a true, hood, should. wow. Goly -
gee."

Unknown: "Hmm.. well my favorite cist buggers, ooo smells
good, mmm tastes good, mmm...snack box fruit cake, system,
wheat, system for breakfast mmm bacon and toe jam, toe jam
and jelly frost

Benadict: For my last question, I was wondering... do you
have a high school diploma?

Otto: "Your gonna get smacked. Can you tango, with a mango.
Your gonna get smacked.

And that bastard is gonna puke: Puke motha fucka, puke motha
fucka, puke motha fucka. Motha fucka what. Motha fucka, PUKE
MOTHA FUCKA, PUKA MOTHA FUCKA.

Technological advancement, science, madness, they want some
shit they can't understand, some shit their mom doesn't know
about. Bring your calculator, its on.

i know they have their followings, but i never see them
talked about on here:

Autophonic from DUB Records
Posthuman of SMAK fame, also the creators of Seed Records
(the guys that brought us Ardisson)
Claro Intelecto, probably the best new thing to come out in
forever from Area Industries.

morton subotnick- he was making electronic music just as
bizarre and complex as the weirdest 'idm' artists of today
as far back as the 50's and 60's

louis and bebe barron- the forbidden planet score is still
some of the coolest electronic music ever made.

808 state - they were right up there with lfo back in their
day, and were a big influence on the early warp stuff, but
seem kinda overlooked.
