Worldwide? Is that the figure we're looking for? Think of the thousands of IDM records out there? Are there more records than fans? 5000 are you joking? then how much do you think RDJ and BoC sell? Gotta be 2 million. |
||||||||

Depends what you call a fan... Someone that downloads loads of free music and pretends to be superior. Someone who wears a scarf and sweat bands of the music they like and would do anything to kiss and lick them or it could be simply One of the many millions who have heard aphex or Ae BOC etc on an advirtisement and thought 'OOooo, I like that' I don't know! |
||||||||

i only know one feeling idm. |

|
|
cool..cool..yeah that's the word for Ken Ishii's stuff..Nice!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yap it's a hard question, i mean the most people who know and love aphex, they also "like" BoC, Ae, Squarepusher, u-ziq, bogdan etc. so i think it's hard to say how much peoples are "IDM Fans", and like JivverDicker said, it depends what you call a fan..., a great collector of this sort of music is a IDM fan, my opinion. |

I'm doing a mix as we speak.... |

He still uses a JD800 the roland synth that has a really specific 'plasticy' digital sound. His melodies are japanese cute but not cutesy. |
||||||||
|
|

Wow, isn't it sad that the number of true IDM fans is so small that we would actually dare estimate how many there are in the world? |

||||||||
|

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf! idm could include orbital, the orb, underworld, fsol, its not all rephlex and warp u no! millions of us out there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i hate the term idm..its just electronica, expermintal avant-garde electronica...and atleast a couple of million ppl r into that i'd say |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it couldnt. :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Worldwide, 250,000 - 500,000 There are out there!!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"There are out there!!!" oops! George Bush made me do it! ... They are out there ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it could... |
||||||||
|

I hate the term IDM, I also hate the term electronica...it all sounds so elitest and shit, like modern art critics who are so far up their own arse they think shit on a stick is the most visionary concept they have ever witnessed. Music is music, if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't. The very fact that some people who like Aphex don't like Ae shows how you can't classify them as the same thing. And to say it is all electronic music is bullshit as well. You wouldn't class folk music in the same group as metal now would you? So why, just because the computer is used as an instrument, do people lump all electronic music together? The whole thing that attracted me to the Warp label artists was the fact that they were all doing their thing in a way that made a joke out of genre's that the media invented. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
electronic music just describes that all this music was made using electronic means...we all know its got many totally different aspects to it..but its just a general term..as opposed to other stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You gonna class n*sync as electronic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youve got good points there ecnadniarb...but whats the alternative? u cant have a different genre for each artist....and u cant be without genres, how would u describe the music? how will u find it in the shop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i class nsync as complete and utter bullshit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also agree ecnadniarb is right in someway..i dn't really care wot the genres are ..its just good music..and who says electronic music can't have acoustic instruments..it does... but also we do need genres to describe different styles even if its not exactly accurate , which it can never be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think there is a problem with having some genre's. I just think it is fucking stupid classing Global Goon, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Prefuse73 etc. etc. as belonging to the same genre. Their musical styles are too varied. btw, I think Squarepusher deserves his own genre, you never know what the lad is gonna do next :o) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they might have different style, but they also have a common similarity which is why ppl call them "electronic" and idm and ambient etc... PS again: i hate the term IDM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Global Goon sounds NOTHING like Ae. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i never heard global goon sorry...wot r they like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is all pointless. Genres are here for convenience (and marketing purposes) so, from that perspective, GG and Ae are in the same bag. That does not deny any of them their uniqueness. Genress are just a handy shortcut in a conversation, not firm categories. Argue about something more intelligent, for chrissake |

|
Meho, ur my hero.... but i still hate IDM...its completely unacceptable bullshit... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Salma: I feel sarcasm. I am hurt. I hate IDM tag as well, being utterly unintelligent myself... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To be honest, it is only that I hate the term IDM and the word electronica. When someone asks me the type of music I listen to I would never reply with either of those terms. Try Braindance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually I wouldn't say braindance either...I just say "here listen, and throw them a CD" |
