Hello, all. I've been lurking a bit, and I've decided to get my
feet wet with this question. Just ignore me if this is a worn-out thread,
though.
I'm doing a night of IDM called Think Tank at a club called Ikon in
Tulsa... I'm using the term IDM as a very large umbrella to encompass a
variety of styles of electronic music which I find interesting and
appealling, in an intellectual sense as well as in a physical, beat-oriented
sense. That means, my partner and I are playing stuff from Scorn and
Lassigue Benthaus (sp?) as well as Autechre and Aphex Twin, Kid Spatula,
Fluke, FSOL; some goa stuff like Man With No Name and Juno Reactor as well
as things like Salt Tank and Single Cell Orchestra. I feel like we're off
to a very good start.
Now, the question: I think you can kind of see where we're headed, with the
groups I've mentioned. What releases would you consider to be "essential"
in -any- IDM record collection?
Thanks...
