Alright, I'm planning to make a sort of best of idm compilation for myself, but so far I've got like maybe 6 tracks: 01. Plod - Markkinal 02. Autechre - Silverside 03. Link - Arcadian 04. Plaid - Undoneson 05. Polygon Window - Supremacy II 06. Sun Electric - Quaila I was wondering if people on the list would suggest some of their favourite idm tracks of all time that I can add. I know this is like the 'songs that you don't want to share with anyone' thread. I even have a cheesy title for it 'This is... IDM' like those bad 'This is... XXX' compilation from Beechwood. If you suggest a track, please also list the album its from. AtL-5

favourite idm tracks of all time that I can add. Some that send me to dreamland: Roupe - Somnambulism - Endlessnessism Boards of Canada - Roygbiv - Music Has the Right ... As One - The Electric Hymn - In With Their Arps ... BFC - Chicken Noodle Soup - Elements 1989-1990 and -Sleep- off the same FSOL - Cascade - Lifeforms Balil - Merck - Bytes Sons of Silence - Silence Go Boom! - Suited & Booted ep Ultramarine - English Heritage - United Kingdoms I've found that Jean Reno's voice goes particularly well with the Roupe track, for some reason.

>>6. Full Moon - Phil Western

This is an artist i am pleasantly surprised to see mentioned.He never seems to be brought up.Nice stuff. wmh

I agree. Phil Western - the escapist (on map records) was one of my top ten releases of 1998. The album is very varied. But it all works. The music simply put has depth. Everyone should try and take a listen to the album. go to http://www.mapmusic.com/catalog.htm#escapist the above has the album in real audio. For those that do not know: Phil Western is DJ Philth (of Download, plateau and off and gone fame) -daniel Head Monkey Mad Monkey Records http://monkey.eliteware.com On Wed, 9 Jun 1999, -wmh- wrote:

likewise... there's a large body of work produced by Phil and his often times partner Dan Handraubur that I almost never hear mention of... they've produced music together for years here in Vancouver, including projects such as Off and Gone's Everest album on Harthouse (and an ep on Exist Dance) . they were pretty instrumental in the Vancouver live electronic scene... anyways, I'm going to be putting together an all local mixed cd pretty soon which'll probably have a lot of stuff from these two... might want to check out Dan's releases as Mere Mortal also out on Map Records... Pilgrims of the Mind is also something to definitely keep an eye out for. His fulllength on Map is still on constant rotation a year later. http://www.mapmusic.com on a side note, anyone notice the breakbeats in the latest Bryan Adams release??? Come on, admit, you know you did..... well, that's Phil's doing. The latest project by Rob Halford of Judas Priest... also Phil's doing... gotta make a living I guess ;) cheers q ------------------------- quentin rogers http://www.teamlounge.com syntext@teamlounge.com

wow, that's amazing. i didn't know bryan adams had some breakbeats up in that. what the heck is going on thesedays? i tune out for two seconds and next thing i know phil collins is duetting with grandmaster flash, and john lydon is appearing on some techno album... oh, wait, that already happened. musicians in the house: who's your choice of a thoroughly non-IDM artist to remix, or better yet, collaborate with? bonus points for total lack of IDM cred, i.e. admitting that you'd like a crack at the titanic song with some massive amen breaks or some microtonal static stuff. i call tom waits. failing that, slick rick. or humpty hump. incoherently, r o b ! np- NPR. it's easier to write to mahler than autechre. sorry.
