Hello list,
given the following conversation that at least some of you should be
familiar with:
They: "What kind of music do you like?"
You: "Electronic music."
They: "Oh, techno? I love that, too."
You: "Well, not really techno... let me show you."
Assuming you'd think .oO(IDM), pick *three tracks* from the top of your
head and/or the bottom of your heart to help them understand. They don't
need to be the "best" tracks (whatever that means) or the most popular (who
cares), but what you think is somewhat suitable for a nonverbal/acoustic
definition of your perspective of what's going in this part of the
universe. (I know it's difficult. Maybe it should be albums instead of
tracks or five or fifty instead of three, but for the sake of
simplicity...) I start, in no particular order:
Autechre - Gantz Graf
Aphex Twin - Ziggomatic 17
Boards of Canada - Turquoise Hexagon Sun
