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

I never liked any of the artists listed here. My electronic intro was Aphex Twin, and all of those guys would just be taking a step or five backwards from him. Always seemed like glossy electronica pop to me even when I knew shit about IDM. |

This is a bit silly...my philiosophy is that as long as it isn't manufactured (in an S Club 7/Britney kind of way) it is viable. All music has it's place....I am not afraid to admit I enjoy listening to some bizzare-cheesy robot-poppy Daft Punk just as much as some Aphex Twin, but obviously for different reasons. |

"Rez" is Underworld's all time great record, tho. Although everyone says "Born Slippy".. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I'm sure if we're honest we all like some stuff of DEBATABLE substance... I recently bought the Dirty Vegas single... |
||||||||

WHO CARES IF THEY WENT POP? |

I think its funny how people say stuff like.... have an open mind... listen to idm... listen to gabber or glitch.... and when someone comes out with new release by a somewhat well known electronic artist... all these (what I like to call) IDM elitist folk really bash it ... not because its horrible but because somewhat mainstream (looked down upon because of its like of dsp tweakage), or that its not "underground". I like Underworld and photek, chem bros. and daft punk too. Just like I like gabber, glitch, braindance and early rave (prodigy, juno reactor), black metal, metal, classic rock, 80's pop, hip hop, industrial, classical, ambient and funk....... all kinds.. it all has its place really. I am sure some people think that underworld is complete shit, and that is totally OK because its their opinion and I respect that. But I am pretty sure a lot of these IDM elitist folk hardly ever listen to music outside of the "IDM" genra, and I think thats sad because people should listen to all styles of music really. Spice Girls Forever! |

and by the way.... Underworld.... DID in fact start out as a pop group. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well said Mickey Mouse..... Strange, didn't we used to have arguments about Autechre?? I like them now anyway...;) |
||||||||

|
|
CS2x I still am interested in hearing your tracks.... can you give me a link? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
off the topic.... I just bought Sasha's Airdrawndagger and Leftfield's Rhythm and Stealth. Both of those albums rule! On Topic: I agree with Mickey Mouse, it's sad that majority of the people here bash other styles of electronica. Sure IDM is the best is most cases, but there are so many other great sounds. |

I like the new UNDERWORLD track !!!!!!!!!!! Two Days off Everyone dload it ! Tho there is better trance ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
remixes are better than the original |
||||||||
|
|

ugh it sounds so eurodance (whatever it's called), i didn't think it was underworld when i heard it on the radio... a cheap trick |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Underworld are just boring - I've seen them live too, and they were boring then *oh no, it's the Velvet Underground soundtracked commercial for Ford* |

my cousin used to sell weed at pink pop (he and his heavilly mustashed(?) father) ANd they once sold their entire stash for the day to underworld. I've never heard their music tho ,is it good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Wait...what is the definition of going pop? More than 25 people liking you? Remember, these people are trying to make a living. They are not going to deny themselves fans.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everything that IDM heads think is pop is usually not even so. I'm like hey basment jaxx = pop everyone I know says no I'm like hey daft punk = pop everyone I know says no I'm like hey dirty vegas = pop everyone I know says no it's odd I still love that stuff though! |
||||||||
|
|

|

Youre right there, WC - What's wrong with changing your musical direction if it means more people will buy your records? Maybe even a few ad agencies will take a shine to it and Underworld could be advertising healthy fizzy drinks or sumpthin' |

I guess i consider myself an idm / art elitest... i don't know. i KNOW for a fact underworld could do better than what they are doing because they did Pearl's girl and born slippy...rocking tracks. going pop is loosing steam imo. going pop is like daft punk loosing their sweet house style of homework to the commercial radio-playables of discovery. I mean take the last track? what was that? backstreet boys type singing? my word! what were they smoking!? photek making house is just as bad as aphex twin making country music. its just so bad when artists get lazy i guess. i just REALLY REALLY hope autechre don't do anything rash and get weak and come out with something everyone will like. that's it...i'll leave music altogether if that happens. |

Don't be so quick to bash house music....Mike Paradinas and artists off the deFocus label all use house elements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont liek house music. i cant help it, but i dislike it coz itshouse nto coz its mainstream. i still love the chemical brothers, but their new stuff isnt as funky and energetic as the dig your own hole album. i never liekd underworld much. i liek fatboy slim even tho some of his enw stuff is a bit crap. some of its still ok though imho. i dont liek the enw prodigy much either, but at east theyre doing their own thing and not jsut making dance. PS i do go to raves and listen to dance music and stuff. |

yeh... a lot of bands have recently been loured by the CC... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Underworld were always POP..that started out as a POP/New Wave band...and their niche in Electronic was bringing singing pop brand of pop to Elctronica |
||||||||
|
|

I guess yall talking about FRENCH FILTER house or whatever !? But I tellz you there is some great DEEP House out there you should check out. |
||||||||
|
|

you all DO have some really warped perception of "pop". by your logic 99% of music seems to be pop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like the new song... =) lets all be friends |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep...if it's not wacked out, clinically insane, abstract IDM it IS considered pop.. Im kidding by the way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm glad Mickey mentioned that, that they did begin as a pop-rock band! SOO cheesey! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

pop = popular music by my standards afx is almost pop. im not saying theres anything wrong with it, i still love afx, but the fact is that he's fairly popular like you could ask most kids on the street "have you heard of the aphex twin?" and they say yes, anbd most of them would even know his name etc etc.... liek eminem waging war on the pop groups....but he's pop himself. to me pop is a cross between a genre and a status ie you can have techno, then techno pop and rap and then rap pop etc... |

its funny people bring photek into this... not knowing his intentions in releasing a tech-house record... his roots were apparently in the house scene..and he had become disgusted with the current dnb scene..so he tried to distance himself from it by returning to house.. and as for underworld going pop..yes they did...like nearly 20 years ago really..aphex could be called 'pop' too..seeing as he's about as well known as underworld, and has a similar sized fan base.. sure his music may not be as 'accessable' ..but that doesnt make him any less popular...because for every person who dismisses it as 'weird noise' theres at least two more who embrace it for the sheer fact the first hates it ...since 'understanding' something others dont always makes you cooler right? and dont think that aphex releases albums only for himself, disregarding his audience..he has said that he keeps many tracks unreleased because he doesnt think people will like them |
