YOU and your ''deliberate mistakes!'' ArrrrrrrR I'd say Harry Nilsson. He has his own genre... ''Nilsson''. Or ''Harry'', if you're a good friend of his. He's the only artist that can compete with The Beatles for my love. I don't know where you'd put Frank Zappa, either... or David Tibet, Al Kooper, a ton of other people. But only Harry deserves his own genre. The others are all predictable in their weirdness. |

That ''Nilsson guy'' is dead, since '94... :_-( But Nilsson is everywhere. He's all around us, all the time. He is/was some sort of bizarre pop genius, John Lennon's best friend and the Beatles' favorite artist in the mid '60s. Anyway, I consider him to ''not fit in anywhere'' because his music has more personality and pizazz than anything, ever. Totally unpretentious, had nothing to prove to critics or fellow artists, a true individual. You have to like pre-rock and roll music styles and wimpy chamber pop based around strings, pianos, and acoustic guitars, though. |

Hmmm... I think the best way to start with Nilsson is a compilation, because- 1- he was eclectic and one album can only show 2% of what he's capable of 2- he had supreme pop sensibility, without sacrificing art. So his ''greatest hits'' packages are both instantly accessible and irresponsibly wicked. A good one was recently released, picture down below. Missing too much great music, but close enough. My favorite album is Aerial Ballet, though. See if you like these songs- One, Together, Spaceman, Cuddly Toy, Everybody's Talkin', Mournin' Glory Story, Without You, Without Her, Think About Your Troubles, Me and My Arrow, Good Old Desk. I will always pimp Harry like mad, my love for him is so deep. |

You can put an artist into any scene you feel like. I know shitloads of people who listen to BoC and don't have a clue what IDM is. |

huA! thank's a bunch...i'll check some of those tunes asap! (as soon as they download heh). uzim, thank you...big list there - as usual i don't know like a 1/3 of those people, will check them out though. and afx, cocteau twins, coil, fantomas, melt banana, mr. bungle, tool and zorn kind of all fit in various scenes imo...hmm, could be im wrong :) they're all great artists though (except for coil who i don't like much :) |

john zorn is jazz artists, its just hes like to freestyle all the time. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

well, he has various projects, so he could fit in many scenes :) above all he's a great improvisor. |

i thought Tricky was trip-hop, but i must be wrong then ^^ (or i've read he's been classified as trip-hop, then did everything to get this label off him....) which ones do you not know tolstoyed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, is there such thing as trip hop? :) the ones i don't know (yet): Acid Mothers Temple Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band Current 93 Hoahio Isis Naftule's Dream Nurse With Wound OOIOO Queen Adreena The Residents haha, that's almost half. |
||||||||
|
|

Tricky is ex Massive who are ex Wildbunch. So as far as his "scene" is concerned he has roots in oldschool hip-hop into Trip-Hop to Trip-Hop-Pop. My point is you should have asked which artists sound the most unique. Because generally when people listen to something, the first thing they try to do is classify it. |
||||||||
|

|

"Because generally when people listen to something, the first thing they try to do is classify it." exactly, that is why im looking for "unclassifiable" artists :) you gave a pretty good description of tricky's music...i'd add rock and punk to that...but you can't say he belongs to a certain genre/scene... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You cant say that anyone does. I'm thinking at the most base level here. BoC have said in interviews that they don't listen to a whole lot of modern electronic music, but prefer a wide variety of stuff from Devo to The Incredible String Band. They hardly ever play live or associate with anyone from the IDM scene except AE, because they reccomended them to Skam. So in that sense, its not so easy just to toss them into the IDM category. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IDM, of course, isn't exactly a well defined category to begin with either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In wrap up: You can classify just about anything in your head, but another person could classify the same thing as belonging to a completely different category. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, we don't agree on this one then :) as for boc...they could have signed for another label, not warp related or something, that would sure make them look more independent. |

Acid Mothers Temple: experimental-psychedelic loopy music. Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band: connexions with Frank Zappa but much more difficult music, very tiring and whatever-sounding at first listens (some tracks are, like, the guy sings nonsense with no instruments on background - or a band knowing how to play, but making big random-sounding stuff instead, with the singer doing the same, 75% talking 25% singing 50% synchronized 50% non-synchronized with the rest of the music). in fact, i haven't got into it completely yet, but his album "Trout Mask Replica" is considered to be either a masterpiece. Current 93: somewhat experimental-folk (!) stuff... it's pretty good, really; just not the kind of stuff i'd listen to everyday. Hoahio: in-between pop, traditional japanese music and experimental. Isis: actually this could be classified into metal... but i have "Oceanic", and it is full of long beautiful instrumentals, and some tracks like 'Weight' sound like anything but usual metal music... (hm, if i put Isis, i should have put Opeth too!! Opeth is among my favourite bands...) |

Naftule's Dream: a blend of klezmer (jewish music), jazz and rock... Nurse With Wound: "surrealist" music. some sound collages, dark ambient, indescriptible stuff. not always easy! connexions with Coil, but different (you can like one and not the other)... OOIOO: a side-project by Yoshimi P-We of Boredoms, all-female quartet. half-experimental, half-sunny-easy-poplike music perhaps. Queen Adreena: i guess you could say it's rock, but almost everything could be classified into "rock"... violent and beautiful, and the female singer has a beautiful voice (Katie Jane Garside) : ) The Residents: these guys make music since 30 years now, and no one knows who they are because they're always dressed as eyeballs in costume. they make conceptual albums about eskimo life, 1-minute-long songs only, completely fucked-up nazi-styled rock'n'roll classics, a "mole trilogy" composed of 6 parts and only three released (not the three first ones though), etc. some sound a bit like fucked-up cartoon music. |

ohh, thanks a lot uzim! man, i bet most of these are very abstract...i'll check them out though (if i can find them on soulseek :) atm im very interested in hearing "Hoahio" and "Queen Adreena". will check! cheers! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're welcome! ^^ Queen Adreena has two albums, which are pretty different from each other. i only have "Taxidermy", the first - but i would definitely recommend it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sigur ros are unclassifiable. in a sense. primal scream's albums are all completely different. i can't think of any others straight away, but I agree with tolstoyed about tricky and with uzim about a couple of those (the ones that I've heard of!) |

Van Dyke Parks is a weird one. And the Legendary Pink Dots. And Angels of Light strike me as weird. But I dunno. Maybe not weird enough. Maybe weird isn't the point. |
