ok, since everyone seems to love these lists, i have a proposed topic for you.
how about a list of IDM discs you bought, traded in because you didn't like
them at the time, and then had to buy again later when you realized they
were actually great.
here's my list. i actaully can't belive i didn't like some of this stuff at
first. i was just starting to get into electronic music and my neural
pathways were not properly re-wired yet. i have also included some of my
thoughts at the time of purchase.
global communication - 76:14
(upset because somebody told me it sounded like selected ambient works ii)
aphex twin - i care because you do
(except for alberto balsam, not enough melody)
autechre - incunabula
(upset because it didn't sound just like amber)
seefeel - quique
(way too much repetition)
biosphere - patashnik
(nice ambient bits, but the beat oriented tracks ruined the mood)
kraftwerk - computer world
(one of the very first discs i bought in 1985. seemed like a novelty record
at the time. what the hell did i know at 15?)
polygon window - surfing on sinewaves
(just plain boring)
