Although I'm not an active participant in this list, I am an active participant in peace demonstrations. I plan to be out there on the 15th and at every demonstration against the war until it ends. I'm interested in good IDM with a political bend. I just downloaded (but haven't yet listened to) the "Not In Our Name" single from Ninja Tune (does anyone know how I can order a real copy of this, btw?). Does anyone know of any other good political IDM? Thanks.

I recently acquired "The Fire This Time" - a 2xCD audio project about the gulf war and the history of the "Iraq situation"... It's pretty good. The first CD consists of various tracks with narration, and the second CD has the music on its own without the narration. More info at http://www.firethistime.org/ The narration is quite informative, though I wish there was, like, a bibliography of sources included or something... The music is good, too. It has a Bola track, "Dog In America", which is exclusive to this release (AFAIK), and remixes *of* Aphex Twin and Orbital. There is also other music by other people which is good too :P ...I'm assuming the Twin and Orbital gave permission for their stuff to be remixed for this project, so that's kinda like they support it, maybe. Anyway, it was good, and I'd recommend it. The only other "political IDM" that pops to mind is Mr. Lif, though he's not exactly IDM - apparently it's nice topical hip-hop. And Muslimgauze, who has passed on, but his work was always consciously reflective of the Middle East and Islam in general, from what I understand. I'm not a big listener of either of these artists, but they're probably worth looking into. -Adam Quoting patrick wojahn <wojahnp@bulldog.georgetown.edu>:

For anyone looking for some good political IDM the first track off of The Kosmic Commando's "laptop dancing" is some pretty good edited speech, I can't tell if it's King George the first or second. Kinda like "bushwhacked" with beats. I have been getting into that new school IDM hip hop stuff, like boom bip and Prefuse 73, there is some political/spiritual commentary I like in some of that. (BTW does anyone know what the story is with "nonalbum"? Is this a pre-release of the new album? I like the track with the garbled Nicaragua stuff in it.) In response to whoever posted that political rallies are an outmoded for of protest, I totally agree, even though I will be out protesting on Feb. 15th. I am all about this idea of social change, that subversive media/art/music is the most effective form of protest. And in my eyes a lot of what happenned in the 60's and the fuel for the vietnam protest was due to the popularization of a certain compound synthesised by Albert Hoffmann, and all of the music, art, and ideas that sprouted from that. I think that electronic music, this IDM scene, has tremendous potential as a political tool. I get sick of people thinking that assasinating Bush will solve the problems we are faced with. If anything that would make things worse, it would be an excuse to become even more of a facist police state, any form of protest could potentially be labeled terrorism. Not to mention the fact that would be facing violence with another form of violence. But art is still legal, music is still legal... cheers to Warp and Ninja Tune for thier political bent, too bad they are not american, but I guess the are essentially in the same boat as us, the british. I like a lot of what xlr8r stands for, what I have read in thier editorials. Well I hope this post has enough MUSIC content to be acceptable material.... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
