ok... obviously the uk has all the big names.. warp etc. but below the immediate surface it seems like there are way more american IDM artists than British ones. Just a few years ago this would have been unheard of.. Mabey cuz I live out here in the states I just here about more.. but on the other hand it's all on the net.... I'm not gonna list off bunch of names..... but do you guys argee..? all |

swedish! hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haven't really heard other IDM artist's than British ones, but then again i really got into IDM bout a year ago or so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya i guess this question is directed towards musical nerds like myself... but to name a few labels . merck, schematic, tigerbeat6, lots of planet mu.. all american..stuff. lots of guys |

astrobotnia is from osthrobotnia, i am from northbotnia, one of his tracks are called sweden, i feel at home with finnish/swedish braindance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Austral...... Never mind.. :'( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Well its certainly a good thing that for RDJ, the braindance aesthetic knows no borders and i certainly do not divide my own seletcion of IDM into european/american/rest of the world. Braindance trancends number crunching, man... we´re talking quality tunes from Phoenecia to Kyoshi Izumi, Astrobotnia to Kid606. they rock the fucking world |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finnish of course |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
american = quantity brits = quality |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the americans have nice idm artists- l'usine, phoenecia come to mind... still the best ones imo are from britain. it seems to be a well from which many other artists drink |
||||||||

I will take em all thank you...pass the mustard hold the salt |
||||||||

dont matter to me but most original idm doesnt come neither from uk neither us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nicely put. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
music, IDM especially, is international...the best stuff sounds like it comes from nowhere, I reckon.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what idm comes from sweden? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neetta> plod, boulderdash and some of the artists from dot are "idm".. there is probobly alot more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont listen much to american "idm" but the stuff ive heard sounds like european "idm" have done for quite some while now. and dont tell me kid606 is original, he doesent count since he is utter shite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The British of course. We are the best at everything. Good Lord, we had an empire; I should think we would produce the best in IDM. All the Yanks are good for is talking really loud and being obnoxious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
canadian IDM!!!..what am i saying........ i dont like much artists from the US in general they just dont click there is the lack of that certain spark |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who cares where it comes from. I think when when Warp opens their NYC branch, we're gonna see a suge of US talent come to the forefront. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well there is matmos now arent they from US |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by suge i mean surge.. matmos is from the us im pretty sure.. plus we got: Kit Clayton Tleilaxu Monolake Timeblind Sutekh ...just to name a few The US may have more artists, but come on.. there are just more people here. Simple equation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, I honestly hadn't even heard of those artists! Can you recommend anything by each of them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
matmos they worked with bjork on vespertive and worked with mathew herbert too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kit Clayton - - Latke Tleilaxu - - Genetherapy Timeblind - - Bloatware Sutekh - - Influenza I don't think monolake is from the US now that I think about it... Cheers~ |

Phoenecia & Richard Devine "american = quantity brits = quality" Maybe in other aspects, but in 'IDM' or whatever the fuck they call it, I don't see that as a valid statement. |
||||||||
|

Almost forgot ! |

No one can touch the Brit big boys.. but I would also contend that based on my limited knowledge America has put out some competitors.. a few examples in addition to the mentioned ones: -the whole southern cali thing, kit clayton, o.s.t., tigerbeat6, etc. and no kid606 is not shite! :) -Phthalocyanine (and Phthalo label) -Electric Company -Alder & Elius et cetera. |

uviol> i have to admit i have only listend to one kid606 album. i dont remember what it was called but there was a song on it called "it will take me a million plastic surgeons to make me black" or something.... i didnt like it all at. recomend me an album and i might change my mind. im under the impression that the only reson people like his dsp fuckery is because of the way he has been hyped. |
||||||||

|

Gubb> haha it's totally OK, i was just kidding around in response to your dislike of kid606.. but actually, it sounds like the only LP you've heard is 'down with the scene' which, as you rightly mentioned, was wayyy over-hyped. This LP is, successfully or not, trying to make a statement and therefore doesn't contain much content musically. Though I admire it for its contruction and energy, you might want to check out his other work which on the whole is calmer and more substantive. what many consider to be his finest moment is the basically ambient 'soccergirl EP'. In a similar vein is 'P.S. I Love You', which is essentially ambient click+cut glitch. If you want something that's not quite ambient but still has substance, get 'GQ on the EQ++', it's an EP with a bunch of extra tracks that are still distorted and beat-laden without being musically devoid. Hope this helps! |

if you havent heard good american IDM then you havent been listening. make it north american IDM... lowfish and solvent proem nautilis spark aem diagram of suburban chaos otto von shirach plastiq phantom deceptikon capt ahab cell proxy gridlock lexencaulpt lesser scematic records merck records n5md records imputor? records TEFOSAV (lots are from north america) orange records the list is long. there is both quantity and quality. get out there and get some. =] |

matmos are from the us...i think in san fransisco, california. I heard on the radio they both came together from gay clubs...not sure if they are but thats what i heard. Rotor+ comes from New York. Manitoba comes out of Ontario, Canada...he's pretty close to IDM Plastikman comes out of Ontario, Canada. But I still think the UK holds all the goodies. we have a lot to be thankful for. quite a lot to learn from them as well. |

naaic: interesting you mention proswell, i just ordered his CD a couple days ago because I enjoyed the samples and website mp3s so much.. what do you think of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting. so the p-man is english-canadian. thanks for the info Gubb btw, i really wouldn't mind a giant wall scroll of that duck or chicken. thats really cool. would like to have that in my room. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uviol: the proswell cd is excellent, i really like his sound...great beats and melodies too. if you liked the samples you'll love the cd. my only gripe is that most of the tracks are very short, but that's fine...that's what the replay button is for. i hope you like it! :) |
||||||||

|
|
cazzo no!!!!! kid 606 is great......it takes me a lot to fully understand down with the scene but i like it....is one of my favorite cd.....there's something higly conceptual in all his songs(i only have down with the scene)behind the surface noise......each song is interesting.......PIZZA,MAFIA,SPAGHETTI......FICA |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
rotor + "aileron" is definitely among my favourite albums but just to correct you he comes from new zealand, but he releases for a new york label |
||||||||
|
|

|

Respect to local boys Ghostly Industries (Ann Arbor MI), which house Dabrye (Tadd Mullinix) and Midwest Product among others. Also, Zod records out of Milwaukee has not been mentioned. Curtis Chip and Emotional Joystick both rock my socks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
british obviously... . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Ghostly International is a quality label, with quality american acts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plastiq phantom is pretty good stuff... but gridlock isn't really intelligent, it's dark step... unless maybe i'm thinking of gridlok... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh well i said i woudn't metion names but everyone forgot some great american artists... proem machine drum sydrone richard devine prefuse73 nautilis.... canada's a whole other story richie hawkins lives in new york now so i don't know where you would catogorizing.... the point was that the "press" hasn't really caught on that there is a butload of good electronic music coming out of america... 3-4 years ago this wasn't the case.... i mean who cares about the press anyways.. but i mean this a messageboard where people bring up wierd ideas.... |
