IDM Given New Name

ENGLAND -- Top electronica artists have now come in with
the results to an online poll that was posted 4 months ago
on the internet asking readers about the upcoming name
change IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) should have. All were
happy with the result and the coined phrase should now be
used instead of IDM. Or they will beat you.

"I was very pleased with the results," Said Richard Devine.
"I was thinking something along the lines of Advanced
Thinking Music but this name just blows everything away!"

Agreeing with the name change, Tom Jenkinson
(Squarepusher)responded, "Totally! This new name will set
the standard and get things right back on track. Now people
who listen to country music or rock will instantly know what
kind of music we make. No denying it now!"

Though many names were up in the air the many artists
finally came down with the one that they thought suited this
type of music.

"We finally figured that Logistically Coherent Contemplation
Brainwork Electronica suited just fine. It says everything
we wanted it say." Said Rob Brown of the Autechre duo.

"Totally Rob." Sean Booth, the other end of Autechre said
with a smile to Rob.

Richard D. James later replied to this in a recent magazine
stating "Ykyss baesc9. Kelzxii eispq baold gweiv wivlh.
Wdiv diepqlz qpfpivv 49dl. If09 siv9la doiv. Iv9, s9l3!"

The new name will debut on a new double cd featuring new
material by these artists and more called Coherent Logic.
It will be out in stores around spring next year.

i usually use the term 'freaky chill sound' to describe our
beloved genre here. no-one really understands any of the
'correct' terms.

Yep, most of my non-electronic music friends refer to all of
"this sort of music" as Techno. I played them some Adult and
said, this is techno, I then played them some Pusher and
said, this isn't. They reckonened they both sounded the
same. Phillestines, eh?

?spelling is fine :) i was refering to the fact that when
people like aphex and squarepusher etc refer to this kind of
music, they call it techno. the only place ive heard the
term "IDM" is on the internet

from online...

It's Techno... everyone knows what that means...

I heard the term "drill and bass" befor this MB but I dunno
where. I think it might have been in a doco about the
history of electronic music and it featured squarepusher.

for me....in convrsations with mates, with those in-the-know
and not.....

All Rephlex stuff is "braindance"
All planetmu/warp/skam/schematic and similar stuff is
electronica.... but to me, is, braindance too but covers
electro, breakbeat, dnb, drill n b and whatever and
excludes techno and house which move my feat but not my
brain..

Points: 2443 Status: Addict



yeah but techno is used a lot in the states - and people
mean that trance and house are sometimes in that genre -
neither of which would i ever listen to

i also find it weird to put autechre and squarepusher in the
same genre

"experimental" is my coin of choice - cause we's all just
experimentin

Points: 5696 Status: Lurker



braindance hit the nail on the head

you can dance to it OR listen to it like a nice rock n roll
song with emotions, timing, highs and lows... OR both
simulataneouly like i do so that one reaches a state above
that of rock n roll and dance and "E" combined.....
lushness

Remember "File under braindance"

I call it "Experimental Electronic Music"

sometimes ill say IDM, but I am reluctant, cause then I have
to explain what it means. But if people honestly want to
know, then Ill use the term and explain why its called that
etc.

But never ever would I call my music techno. Its gives a
totally wrong impression.

its experimental to the people who've never heard it before.
And thats what im talking about... how I call/describe it to
people.

I hate all this categorisation. I mean at what point does DM
become IDM? is there an exact line? Is acid house
unintelligent? And "Braindance"? That was surely a pisstake
term in the first place.

It's all so anal. Just get over it. It's music.
Sorry - another rant.

how is it experimental to the people who are new to it? to
be experimental the music had to actually be the result of
an experiment. most idm is just instrumental music played on
electronic instruments. just cos it "sounds different"
doesn't make it experimental. by that logic, afrobeat and
polka are experimental.

i never use IDm exept here

with techno , it is more associated with the dancey
songs...electronic can be a bigger name that contains more

I don't mind people calling it "techno," especially since
here in the states it was never popular, so that's what
people call all electronic music that's not hip hop. most
people just aren't familiar with the names of all the other
genres and styles. if some one asks what kind of music
vsnares is, for example, I'll call it "electronic," which is
a bit like calling bebop "acoustic" music.

very true, titsworth.. most of the so called experimental
electronic music follows normal songwriting laws..
verse-chorus-verse type..
