You guys speak of IDM a lot lately. I'm fresh to the electronic scene, and if someone could give me a quick overview of who IDM is, what kind of music they play, who they are similar to, or any websites that could give info, I'd greatly appreciate it. By the way, I'm buying "I Care Because You Do" today, and I'm looking foward to smoking some pot and listening to it! :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
IDM is a name used to refer to this type of music... it stands for Intelligent Dance Music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buy "Richard D. James Album" instead... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh jeese...well, thanks for the info. Junktion, I'll probably end up buying that CD anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. "Selected Ambient Works II" is what you're looking for... (IDM is nonsense term. Ignore it.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM = Autechre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Plaid, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey, get Chiastic Slide by Autechre instead... or Music has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada, or Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin... or Drukqs by Aphex Twin... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or Go Plastic by Squarepusher... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

AGH TOO MENY MUSICS I have MHTRTC by BoC... Its funny, I never really considered the bands mentioned dby uzim dance music at all. I just never put their music in a club setting, because I started listening to them a year ago (I was 15) and of course never experienced clubs or raves before, and still haven't. I always considered club music trance shit, that makes me want to burn my penis with cigar butts. Personally, I think those bands are higher than just "intelligent dance music." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I have Go Plastic. Nope, I don't have the Come To Daddy EP. AM I right in thinking that "Selected Ambient Works..." is a compilation? If so, I would rather get a regular album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well technically I Care Because You Do is a compilation too... SAW85-92 is a compilation obviously... but it's real good... SAWII probably isn't a compilation, but it sucks... just download Rhubarb, Lichen, Stone in Focus, Cliffs, and you're set... the rest is crap imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes get the richard d james album, that's better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
accept for icct hedral of course but that might not be nice smoking pot to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'IDM' is just a stupid elitist name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it is not.. just some tracks he made over time saw II is great, its just what you like imo those tracks are brilliant, ive never heared anything like it, you just have to be in the mood for ambient |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, in that case I'll go for The Richard D. James album. Is it more hardcore or heavy D&B? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant say enough how much i dislike the term braindance: i'm not interested in music that just makes my brain want to dance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"I never really considered the bands mentioned dby uzim dance music at all." > me either ^^; "intelligent dance music" is a dumb and inappropriate term. (well, i heard Fluke was classified by some people in IDM... maybe this band could fit the term if you want, but that's all!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or maybe we got it all wrong and it's purpose is entirely ironic. (come to think of it, it can only be ironic, or at least tongue in cheek) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't describe RDJ album as hardcore nor heavy - it is more cartoonish if you ask me! : ) (still being aphextwiny, of course) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it's just incredible and it's pretty acoustic ánd drill and bass at times, but i'm not gonna give it all away |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yóu're a cartoon dude! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get ICBYD!! it was my 1st album and i still think its aphex' best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about calling it "nerdlectro"? =P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about calling it 'music'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Genres are stupid. And to whoever said SAW II sucks: Fucking wake up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
|
|||||||||

|
|
No, get some Autechre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no! get ICBYD, RDJ album and drukqs! drukqs was my first aphex album and i still think it's his best together with the rdj album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no! get some U2!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*listening to U2 now.* =P |
||||||||

Let's let HIM decide what to get. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - dated ambient. Lots of reverb and subtle beats. Gets a bit boring by the end. Selected Ambient Works - long droney ambient for two hours. Sublime, if you like that sort of thing. ICBYD - IDMish, slower than drill'n'bass, kind of hip-hoppy, rather varied. Ambient moments. RDJ album - mainly drill'n'bass. Not that varied. I hate it. Drukqs - elements of all of the above. Makes it vary incohesive and doesn't flow as a whole album. Sounds more like a compilation than any of the others. Some very beautiful tracks, though, including a lot of piano pieces. THERE WE GO. |

I LOVE Under a Blood Red Sky!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck that, get some Merzbow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way RDJ-album is mainly drill 'n' bass it's not why i listen to it anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
unless you want to go to hell soon, go buy Come To Daddy EP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get Role Model by Cex and shut your mouth |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The_Funkmaster > i don't know this track, i'll try to find it!! : ) (have you tried the streaming of Hope Leaves?) dariusgriffin > yay Merzbow!! ^^ this is really intelligent, dance, and music. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(though i don't see what could be intelligent nor dumb in Merzbow at all... and it is music even though it is noise...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone tried dancing to Merzbow yet (remixes don't count). I've tried to jive to the first couple of minutes of 1930. Wasn't very easy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAWII doesn't suck but you have to be in the mood for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it's not a track, it's a live album they did in 1983 or so... it's probably my favorite cd of theirs, it's just great... here's a check out the song 11 o'clock Tick Tock, it's not on any other album, and it's one of their best in my opinion! |
