this is crazy... ;0) and i had this misconception that IDMers were all lil
more open minded than most music listeners. and what's even crazier is i
haven't heard one thing about kraftwerk... in my opinion they were way more
influential to electronic music... seeing as they are the original
electronic act. to be perfectly honest rock, rap, techno, its all the same
to me. a series of sounds placed in patterns. you move one kick over and you
have a whole new genre ;0)
i personally feel the electronic scene is dead. oversaturated and becoming
just as commercial as rock. shit man does a vacuum cleaner really need a
break beat ;0) or aphex with his special olympics commercial, amon tobin and
car commercials etc... you have every jack as w/ a turn table and computer
or even just a computer putting out tues, but if you handed them a real
instrument or even a piece of outboard gear they wouldn't even know where to
start. they are only as cool as their plug ins.
electronica has become too easy.
i've actually been doing the opposite of you cats it seems. been putting
away the aphex, autechre etc and picking up music only from the 70's and
below, really amazing shit that sounds just as technical and even more
impressive to me because it was actually played. just because you cram as
many weird sounds into song as possible doesn't necessarily make it more
technical.
