IDM Mailing Archive

After reading a ton of posts over the past little while, I still don't really know if some of you have the same tastes in IDM as I do. I know that current artists being discussed are: Cex (I've heard snippets of... may have some potential for listening enjoyment) Kid606 (smaller snippets... turned it off quickly when trying him out at work... Uh-oh --- NOT something to listen to at work!) John Leafcutter (first track off concourse sounded dry and noisy) Marumari (enjoyed some of The Wolves Hollow.. haven't heard the new album yet) B12 (good "classic" IDM...) Aphex Twin's upcoming album (wow those drukqs website sounds almost scared me) Autechre's Confield (I find it hard to listen to ... gave it a couple chances) etc. etc. etc. I love the melodic side of IDM as well as some drum and bass and of course a broader range than I want to go into right now. Currently, I've been interested in Gimmik, L'usine, Crunch, EOG, Quench, Yunx, Mr. Projectile, Novel23, and still enjoy Plaid, Mouse on Mars, Arovane, older Autechre & AFX, just to name a few. But I've got a lot of new music I have yet to listen to. What I'm getting at is, I'd like to know what some of your favorite tracks/songs are ... ones that you can listen to over and over and they never get boring, or tracks that you recently discovered that really stand out, or floaty tracks that make your body hairs stand on end and you have to close your eyes and lose yourself in it. I don't know if this has been done before here... but here are some of mine (in no particular order, and not really the best of the best because I might forget some others that I adore. And mostly 'floaty' tunes, although I enjoy aggressive stuff too): 1) pub - summer (rmx by Arovane) --- A current "ahhhh". What a sweet, melodic tune. Discovered it only a few weeks ago. Gives me goose bumps. 2) Avid Acrid Jamshred - Aphex Twin --- Literally brings tears to my eyes. (oh, and goose bumps again) 3) Steve Roach - Begin Where I End --- (ambient). Gorgeous chord progressions on primarily strings. Sleep music. 4) Dang Spot - Plaid ---- I never tire of this one. It's just so FUN and quirky! 5) Dude - "Wave" from Toytronic's Neurokinetic compilation --- Melodic IDM. Light, high synths layered over fairly simple percussion. 6) L'usine - "Mod" from A Pseudo Steady State ---- A semi-slow build to a very enjoyable groove. Good car tune. 7) Download - Cunning -- Great car tune. Brown beats with sporadic swirly pinks. Anyway, enough for now, I'm getting carried away. Sorry this is so long. --Sharon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Well, given the large amount of people subscribed to the list, I'm sure some people overlap with you. Given time, almost every artist you have mentioned comes up on the list at some point.

Well, generally I don't listen to this stuff on a track-by-track basis; I tend to listen to a whole album at once and judge them as a whole. However, there are individual tracks that I absolutely love, and here are a few (if you're interested in my real tastes, you'd probably want to know what albums I love, but...): Michael Fakesch "Sega" - I heard this track on the Cataract Beats comp on Pitchcadet, and had to buy the album. The album wasn't as good as this track, though it is enjoyable. "Sega" is one of the most beautiful IDM/electronic tracks I've ever heard. Bogdan Raczynski "Dance Your Joy" - this isn't actually from an album; it's one of his early mod tracks. More techno and less d'n'b than the rephlex stuff that made him "famous." It's just an excellent dance tune. My girlfriend likes it :p Gimmik "thing on a spring" - excellent joy-bringing track from Gimmik's first release. Find and hear it! Squarepusher, track 2 on Big Loada, something about going to Reedham - whatever, it's gorgeous like Fakesch's "Sega" Four Tet's remix (on WARP10+3) of Aphex's Cliffs (first track on SAWII) - One of the few remixes around that's actually better than the original, and without doing much at all to the source material. Perfect, brilliant interpretation! Proem "Boring Alice" - being on a compilation, this will probably get overlooked by most, but it's an excellent ambient peice. One of the few on that comp that actually live up to the press-release stuff about it being SAWII-quality and SAWII-era ambient. Freeform "Palavalamp" - semi-rare Worm Interface release, beautiful if a bit long Freeform track. Almost as good as the track that got me hooked on Freeform, "Poundland" :) I didn't really think I could do so many individual tracks, but I guess I did. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Okie dokie, I'll keep my list short 'cause I could go on forever and I really should be working right now. :) Boards of Canada - Happy Cycling - Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, great outro track to a great album. Squarepusher - Tundra - My first exposure to Tom Jenkinson, and, though Journey to Reedham/My Red Hot Car/Beep Street/etc... are way way way up on my list, this is still my favorite squarepusher track Autechre - Eggshell/Autiche - I put these in the same line 'cause they're both off the same album and I usually listen to one when I listen to the other. Once again, lots of warm fuzzies. Funkstorung - Last track on "Additional Productions" that I can't remember the name of right now - Same as the Happy Cycling, great outro and it's even on a remix album which makes it all the more impressive. Lego Feet - First song off the EP - Mmm crunchy happiness that tempts me to pay $400 for the EP off eBay. ;) Lexaunculpt - Live Webcast, part 2 - IDM remix of the metroid theme. Yum. Aphex Twin - Boy/Girl Song - Beep. Kyle

not everything i like, obviously, but just to give a flavour of it: analogue bubblebath - aphex twin on the romance tip - caustic window ageispolis - aphex twin on - aphex twin tha - aphex twin heliosphan - aphex twin acrid avid jam shred - aphex twin, aswell im not a monomaniac aphex fan at all, richard's stuff makes a tiny percentage of my record collection, but i think he hits something really deep in these particular (and by no means just these!) tracks. also pub - summer hong kong - monolake (in fact just all chain reaction and basic channel stuff, but this song is amazing) beau mot plage - isolée th substrata album by biosphere listened to as a continuous whole non idm but some of my favourites aswell: faust - the wumme years can - future days -thomas ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Here are some of my faves. I'm at work right now and my memory for titles is not very good, so I'll sometimes just name the number on the cd that the track occupies ;) µ-ziq - Hasty Boom Alert (Lunatic Harness) Always gets my juices flowing! Aphex Twin - Heliosphan & Ageispolis (SAW1) Still, after all these years...the rest of the album ranks about 0,1% behind this one in my favorites list though, the album still being my all-time favorite release in any genre and all ;) Stereotype - Mooshki (Stereotype EP) This is a release by Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher). This partciular track is an epic tune, spanning 15 minutes of pure pleasure! It starts off with a typical Squarepusher SH-101 line and builds up to a massive breakbeat tune...incredible! Jochem Paap - Track 1 from VRS MBNT PCS 1 Sorry, don't know the title ;) This tune gives me goosebumps every time! The way it's built up is amazing and when the little melody kicks in, which pops up now and then, I just melt in it's beauty. (how dramatic ;) Funckarma - Chemical Chain Reaction (Part 1) I just love it, can't get enough of it ;) Autechre - Bike (Incunabula) Just leaves me speachless...the melody in this track is beyond beautifull in my opinion. Plaid - Kortisin (Not for Threes) When I picked this up in the store and listened to this tune, I didn't hesitate one moment and bought the album without listening to the rest...even if the rest of the album would turn out to be crap, I'd still find it worth it's money for this tune alone! (luckily the rest is also very worthwhile ;) Brian Eno - Track 1 from 'Apollo' Beautifull ambient. James Bernard - Track 1 from 'Atmospherics' Incredible strings...very relaxing. Gescom - KeyNell 4 (Keynell) This tune is actually pretty minimalistic. But I get hooked from the first beat and just keep on going to the end...the first time I listened to this tune I was just speechless and had goosebumps to the bone! I'm probably forgetting a couple of hundred tunes that rock my world, because I don't have my cd's and records here right now and I can't think straight ;) Besides that, I could go on for hours naming tunes that move me if I put my mind to it, so I have to stop sometimes...

Thought I'd share a few for the moment. This is without access to most of my stuff, and only using related albums/artists through Allmusic, starting with: Push-Botton Objects-Non Existant(Gescom Remix) - on Rapid Transit Compilation Funkstorung-Grammy Winners Video (the song is good by itself, but the Designers Republic outdo themselves with this video) Boards Of Canada-Sixtyniner - off Twoism Plaid-Scoobs In Columbia(Remix 1) Mouse On Mars-Pinwheel Herman Coldcut-More Beats And Peices (the song that got my interested in real music, not just radio bull) Amon Tobin-Night Life (that small break right before the song really gets going is almost perfection) Herbaliser-The Blend Simple Minds-Theme For Great Cities(Fila Brazillia Remix) (not the copy on Brazillification, which was redited, but the one on the Simple Minds single) and, since we're on to the tenth, I might as well throw in a totally unrelated song for the last pick: Dr Octagon-Bear Witness (the obligitory DJ Shadow entry) Not too heavy on the IDM tip.

> with cotton candy in their hands.

It's actually the first modern "electronic" piece I heard since getting into the genre (only just over a year ago!!). I'm actually a classical pianist with a passion for keyboards and computers. I have known of electronic pioneers such as John Cage, Walter/Wendy Carlos, etc., and have done some experimental electronic music study & composition myself, but was not aware of so much awesome music going on outside my limited world. The Internet opened up so much for me. I was forced to listen to a lot of radio pop most of my life because in a small town I wasn't exposed to much else. I ALWAYS craved for more. Don't mean to blabber on.... but when Dang Spot was first played for me ------DAMN! There it was -- there was my music! I've barely turned on the radio since..... Needless to say.... I'm very sad to think of all I've missed for 10 or more years. And I've still got a LOT of catching up to do.

I saw them in Dallas. I liked their stuff but I was actually more impressed with Ah Cama-Sotz's performance. I think it was the addition of his visual performance that really took the cake for me. =0riet ===== =========================== syngeneic http://www.waste.org/~oriet syngeneic radio archive http://www.live365.com/stations/250448 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

There was a very successful thread some time back about tracks that make you weep. Very nice things were unearthed. (Although, of course, the detractors bickered and moaned about the un-this-listy-ness of the project... like, sorry we have emotions). Nobody's mentioned Luke Slater's "Purely" off Freek Funk yet, have they? Heard it a million times, and can happily listen a million more. Some music gives and keeps on giving. I'd put Brahms' Requiem into that bracket as well.

Some more: Plaid "Dead Sea" - this gets me every time. As much as I love 'dang spot', I think 'dead sea' is an incredible sleeper on Rest Proof Faultline "Awake" - first track on Closer Colder. Is that cello? I don't know, but strings with chopped up goodness = me happy. I was almost disappointed that Susumu Yokota only took about 30 seconds of this peace for his Leaf Compilation... Aphex's remix of Philip Glass' orchestration of David Bowie's "Heroes" - my god, what have they done! Lexaunculpt "Aniburl" (i think that's how it's spelled) - I quickly became bored with most of lexaunculpt's other released stuff, but this track is a keeper. BoC "Aquarius" - definitely! Jimmy Page & Robert Plant "Since I've Been Loving You" - not IDM, but excellent version of this Zep tune on the "No Quarter" album... --- Sharon Clarke <sharon@infotechcanada.com> wrote:

Wow - this blew my mind... I have, of course dug Bowies "Heroes" track (as a yound lad) and I bought and enjoyed Philip Glasses' interpretation, but an Aphex remix as well?

I just saw Squarepusher in Sydney last weekend, and I loved it. He put on a bit of a rock god show, but he wasn't quite just playing a dat... His set was very much of the last album, with very little of the earlier jazzy stuff being played, but he did play a track or two from hard normal daddy. dhave_config http://www.mp3.com.au/dhave_config

I gotta say, I really really really want to hear more from these two. They're supposedly putting out an album this fall, on CCO i think (I could be gravely mistaken, but I'm too lazy to zap over to branwashed), but they are amazing. Every track they pull out of the studio sounds brilliant. Certainly one of the albums I'm drooling just waiting for it to get pressed. Hey, and when is Arovane's Bent Soil album on Neo Ouija coming out? Ever? Wasn't it supposed to be on the streets last January? Damn you Arovane! Why do you have to have talent????

Can't help but contribute to this thread: 1) "Somnambulism" _Endlessnessism_ by Roupe (!) 2) "Dx-snth" _Vrs-mbnt-pcs95982_ by Jochem Paap 3) "Repeater" _Metamatics_ by Metamatics 4) "Wilmot" by Sabres of Paradise (com'n, it's fun to play air trumpet) 5) "Chicken Noodle Soup" and "Sleep" by Psyche (or is it BFC?) 6) "9:25" _76:14_ by Global Communication 7) "Morino Gakudan" _Image 1993-1998_ by Susumu Yokota 8) "The Electric Hymn" _In With Their Arps, and Moogs, and Jazz and Things_ by As One (actually, pretty much the whole damn album) 9) "English Heritage" _United Kingdoms_ by Ultramarine 10) "Theme from Ernest Borgnine" _Feed Me Weird Things_ by Squarepusher 11) "As Wordly Pleasures Wave Goodbye" _Stay Down_ by Two Lone Swordsmen 12) "Hymn.Alt.Quiet.Version" by Moby (trust me, it's really good and criminally overlooked) The list could go on, and it gets added to pretty regularly. For everyone who claims that the music put out today doesn't hold up to that of a few years ago, I can refute with several albums - such statements say far more about the listener than what he/she listens to.
