I'm just smiling at the affluence of posts deriving from the Medulla Topic;
this has to the busiest I've seen the IDM List in long, longtime. I just had
to say that.
Moreover, a fews post back, I read someones post on how albums like Kid A,
Vespertine; helped fans of Radiohead and Bjork, delve into unfimiliar
terroritory. I was one of them, I didn't really immerse myself with
Experimental Electronic Music until I picked up Kid A. There was gamut of
reviews (weeks before the albums release) making the indication that it was
obviously influenced by Aphex, Autechre, BoC and a fraction of the Warp
Catalogue to name a few. I of course decided to go to the source, and lucky
for me I recently started to work a music store where I met my best friend,
who had years of listening to this music (since 1995). He was even peeved at
the idea that Radiohead were getting praise and accolades for what they did
with Kid A, asserting to me that there had been others who have been making
that sound for years, 'idioteque' sounding a lot like this Autechre track on
Amber *cant recall the extact name* but I had known that they 'borrowed'
from Paul Stanley as mentioned in the album notes. Any who, long story
short, I'm glad RH did what they did, likewise for Bjork who has people from
the IDM spectrum since Pre-Post, if it wasn't for them (RH) it would have
taken me a lot longer to actually delve into Experimental Electronic Music
or Experimental Music as a whole, I've been using the same method even with
IDM artists' (in interviews) mentioning their influences and what they're
listening to, directing me to the source. I just thought I'd share that with
you all, my little 'IDM Story.' Word.
cheers,
june.

btw: did you guys know that Chris Clark mentioned in an interview with The
Milkfactory that he would love to work with Radiohead sometime in the near
future?... just thought I would share that.
