ovuca/astrobotnia, team doyobi and kid606 (well I like some
kid606 but his overall production is just crap)+early
µ-Zik, early plaid.

I bought Brothomstates Claro and wanted to launch it. The
Qtio ep is ok though. Plaid Double Figure is lame too. The
worst in the world has to be Photek Solaris.

I dislike most noise i.e. merzbow/satanstornade/smojphace's
KTPAs

Some tracks (not all) by amon tobin bore me, especially
those that are very jazzy.

i think it's hilarious that people actually disregard snares
because of child-violence allusions... that's fucking
ridiculous and close-minded... i'm sure you would respond
the same way to your favourite artist if they inserted a
similar sample... people are just so hellbent on hating on
snares...

yeah, i actually saw vsnares' 'doll doll doll' and whatever
else he released with references to child killing as a sort
of satire of an odd trend in 'idm' to dwell on childhood
nostalgia. kid606 called it 'self pedophilia' in an
interview.
having said that, im not a particularly big fan of snares or
the kid, but for the simple reason that their music doesnt
really do anything for me. and there are plenty of other
artists i am indifferent about, though none i strongly
dislike.

plaid, mira calix, chris clark, kid 606 (except for soccer
girl EP.. yum), uziq, lots more that i usually dont like to
mention cause people try to talk you into liking them over
the internet.. like all of the sudden thay are going to make
some point that makes you totally like the artist all of the
sudden...

just doesn't sound good to my ears.

There's nothing I DISLIKE, per se, but there's some stuff
that has disapointed me. I find Ovuca pretty boring, and a
lot of Bogdan a bit samey (but he has some great shit)...
used to not be able to swallow Snares, but I think he's
gotten a lot better. Making progress whilst he releases 20
albums a year.

And any ''noise'' shit. Although it's probably not IDM any
longer if it has no semblance of dancability!

most of it .
only some of it is good - most rephlex releases are great
though esp this year wiith the bug and stuff like the victor
gama from the samples a very varied label that you can't pin
down
half te warp releases are good esp squarepusher and aphex
and broadcast etc ... but it's stil got a sound -
planet-mu are just too "idm" for me - i kinda like music
with a human element - although some of snares stuff
hrvatski's stuff and remarc's stuff is ace overall.
some leaf stuff is good too but then the more ambient stuff
like morr music bores the pants off me .

i think the connection between vsnares and BoC is flimsy at
best. i think aaron puts those samples in his music and
gives them those witty titles because he likes it and he
thinks it adds an edge to his music (and often it does, but
it's still tacky and the mark of a gimmick artist).

i think the reason it would ever give his music any kind of
edge is because everyone else in the scene is doing the
exact opposite though -- not just boc, but i think they are
a prime example of it.

hmm i 'd say his music is pretty edgy - and boc and snares
both cnvey a sense of uncomfortable childhood memory -
reinforced by the samples

a lot of idm discomforts.. autechre made a career out of
making discomforting music and they rarely ever use samples.
i don't think there's much of a connection between boc and
snares, and i certainly don't think aaron is really trying
to be clever by doing ironic sampling. he doesn't strike me
as an intellectual or a social critic. i like the samples he
throws into his music but it's cheap.

so, is he doing this for psychological reasons, then? is he
studying something? will there be test results? no. i think
not. the honest truth is that he isn't "exploring the depth
of human emotions", he's a sick guy who gets his rocks off
on thinking about little girls getting raped and stuff. yay.
isn't he brilliant? isn't he scary and shocking?
