Now to many of you who subscribe to this thingy, this is going to be old
news. Nevertheless, I have decided to do this post, so please try to resist
the impulse to scoff as this is my very first posting here.
Anyway, if your looking for more tracks that utilize the index doohickey, try
Autechre's Tri Repetae. In four of the tracks--clipper, leterel, rotar and
gnit (my spell-checker is having a fit here)--the index number jumps from one
to two when the rhythm section comes in. I know it doesn't serve much of a
purpose, but I can't seem to find any other idm-ish stuff that uses index
numbers. The only other album I own that does is Enya's self-titled debut
album. Sad.
And now, a short list of albums that could've used the index system but
didn't, to my unending chagrin: underworld's "second toughest in the infants."
The first track, juanita: one track, two songs, sixteen minutes. Another, BDP:
"Bytes," eighteen songs, twelve tracks! Definitely could've used index numbers
for the "Phils." Or maybe the same number of tracks as songs, like
"Spanners?!" Oh, well. I'll live. I blame the labels!
There, that's my post. For those of you who already know about all this, I
apologize. I was not attempting to imply that you didn't know, so try not to
be offended.
Just relax.
While I'm here, I may as well ask if anyone could--out of charity for a
relative novice--give me a list of their favorite idm-type albums (a top-ten
or something). Don't leave out the obvious; I want to know how my musical
alignment compares with yours.
Droves of thanks!
