"If I hear a record and enjoy it, I just sit there and get jealous and wonder how they did it-- at the same time realizing that they did it so I don't need to do it. On the other hand, if something comes along that I don't enjoy, it fires me up. In between angry bursts of 'HOW DARE THEY HAVE A RECORD DEAL!' I get on with the task at hand. I guess you could say I was Bored of Canada! ...Though they are by no means the worst offenders." -Max Tundra (interview with Pitchfork - http://www.pitchforkmedia.com <http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/> ) So much for making fans on this list. For my money he's sure more original than BoC, though. ==-mark

What's lame? Perhaps he finds tracks like "zoetrope" sort of numbing. He wouldn't be the only one. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

ahh, let the BoC hating begin! After all, only a few more weeks until their new album drops. Gotta make sure to get those precious indie-cred points in *before* anyone hears it, that way you don't come off as a bandwagon BoC-hata. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Of course it would never be possible for anyone to actually not be in raptures over every note they ever released, right? It must all be posturing, so the IDM-list will think I'm cool. a: that's the first I've heard about a new BoC release, and I'm 99% sure I'm not going to buy it any time soon... maybe out of a used bin sometime. b: if there's a bandwagon, I've been the one driving it the whole time. I'm not a BoC-hata. I think they've made some very pleasant music. I just think they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overrated. To me, they make decent IDM, but they are not flawless Gods of music, armor'd in fire, impenetrable by mortal darts. But that's just an opinion; nobody's life's gonna change on account of what I think. Z __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

I'm sure there are plenty of people on this list that are not "in raptures" over quite a bit of the music that is discussed on this list - I know I'm not. I have no doubt that you don't like BoC, and never have liked BoC... but I think you're being disingenous if you're saying that the negative comments that you and others have made about BoC doesn't come from a combination of a need to be respected in the scene, and irritation at reading reviews by lame rock critics that describe BoC as "warm and emotional" music, as if the rest of IDM isn't. It's annoying, but recognize it for what it is, be objective, and keep your negative opinions to yourself. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Keep my-- hahahahaha haha ha, oh shit you crack me up. No... no, I don't think I will. You got me all wrong, pal. I don't DISLIKE BoC-- I often find myself putting on "beautiful place" when I can't decide what I feel like listening to, and it always seems just about right for that-- but I do think that other points of veiw need to be represented, hence my negative or neutral opinions. As for being respected in "the scene," I certainly wouldn't presume to speak for the others to whom you refer, but I don't really think I'm actually in the scene. I'm on the list because this is a fairly interesting list to be on, and good threads come up, and music discussed here is more likely to be music I enjoy than otherwise, but I don't personally know so much as one single other human being besides myself who even knows what the term "IDM" means. This exchange, for example, I am enjoying thoroughly. In summary: The scene, for me, is a non-entity. I don't really care about the scene, because I don't know anyone in the scene. I've never read a BoC review in my life. I am acutley and constantly aware-- neurotic, even-- of whether my opinions are truly my own, or whether they are a reaction to the opinions of others, and I generally try to avoid the latter. Now I know that's 100% more than you ever wanted to know, but please don't make assumptions about me. It gets my dander up. I'm sure you'll regard all of this as "indie-r than thou" posturing, but I'm not laboring under the illusion that I can convince you of anything over the friggin internet. Maybe I'll see you at a show some day, and you'll want to punch me in the neck, and I'll buy you a drink. I'm just that kind of bastard.

<sniff, sniff...> hmmm... I smell bullshit in the air. If you don't consider this list a "community" or a "scene", then why do you attempt to initiate discussions with the people here (as opposed to just sitting around waiting for show announcments and ebay spam)? If you find BoC overrated, but have never actually read any reviews of their music or know anyone outside of this list that has heard of the term 'IDM', then what are you using as a basis for your argument that they are overrated? Overrated by who? Listmembers like me? I'm just a music fan - I don't rate anything. If you don't dislike Boards of Canada, then why do you continue to distance yourself from their music and their fans by making snide remarks such as the one you just made about how their music is something you only listen to when you aren't in the mood for anything? I wasn't responding only to you, but to a cluster of anti-BoC posts that were made in response to a bunch of pro-BoC posts that were made in response to the announcement of their new album dropping in Feb. If you weren't trying to give us listmembers (the "scene") the impression that you were more "indie-r than thou" with your eye-rolling and "psssh! They are overrated!" attitude, what exactly -was- the point of making your original (unsolicited) comment about them? sorry the reply is late, i was busy washing Kid606's kitschy 70's Trans-Am __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Only an ironclad member of the "BoC is the second coming of Crist" army would consider that a snide comment. Your religious fervor has blinded you to what was actually a compliment; that is to say, when I'm sick of everything I'm still not sick of BoC.

Now we're getting stupid, but I'm a stubborn son of a bitch. Actually, you were responding only to me. But I was responding to someone who seemed to be putting down Max Tundra simply because he wasn't publicly sucking BoC's collective cock. I haven't heard any Max Tundra, it just annoyed me the same way that all blind, deaf evangelism annoys me. I made a short comment about how perhaps he thought songs like zoetrope were boring. That's all. I didn't give an explicit opinion of my own one way or another. This BoC hata-ing as a preemptive response to the new album is entirely your invention, as far as this thread is concerned. When I made the comment on trial, I had not even heard of Geogaddi. And if it's everyone else who was doing it, why are you arguing with me and not them? Oh, and most importantly... why the fuck do you insist on believing that its impossible for someone to HONESTLY dislike Boards of fucking Canada??? Your posts are making me like them less by the second, simply through association.

Wasn't unsolicited, was response. See above. The attitude is all in your head, I assure you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

I personally don't think Boards of Canada make the best music on the planet, and I agree that most of their music is very pleasant. The reason I like Boards of Canada so much, though, is because their EP's and the LP are consistently pleasant. I like buying a cd or record, putting it on, and leaving it. I don't like to skip over songs I don't like, which means that 1 or 2 bad songs can leave a sour taste in my mouth. Boards of Canada haven't done that [yet], to my ears. A lot of the recent IDM has some killer tracks that are really amazing, but the albums have 4 or 5 tracks that are just boring, plodding, sub-standard IDM, which has saved me a lot of money recently :D boring, plodding songs in IDM is even worse than boring, plodding songs in other genres, since IDM songs are typically SO LONG. So, when I listened to Music has... the first time, I thought "hey, this is alright, not a total waste of money." I took it off and it sat for a while. Two weeks went by, and I popped it back in again, remembering "hey, this was pretty good, I'll give it another listen." It was still consistently good throughout. Not breathtaking, not "wear out your cd-player" amazing, but solid. And I could listen to the whole thing and enjoy myself! Sure, it's a pretty standard formula, and they're not breaking new ground, but they do what they're trying to do really well, in my opinion. So they've earned a lot of respect in my book. I'm sure I have other opinions on other things, too, but I'll leave those for other posts. :D derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- snappy one-liner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Nah, more of the "I can't enjoy music without being jealous" and "I can't dislike music without getting angry and jealous". Careerist to say the least.

While I dislike his quote, I must disagree with your opinion that Max Tundra's music is boring, derivative, and uncreative. The only release of his that I know of that has tDR artwork is his "Children At Play" 2-tracker on Warp. They're long tracks, but it's only two tracks, and they're from 3 or 4 years ago. Not quite enough to judge an artist by. He's had an album and a couple of singles/eps out since, and I think they are extremely creative and original - light years beyond the children at play ep. The album, Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be, is wildy diverse and inventive, and is one of my favorites. I think it's one of the top albums for its year, which I think was 2000... He may be missing what's good about BoC, but that's his loss, not anybody else's. ===== .Adam http://www.damek.org/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Its really funny that everyone's so down on Mr. Tundra, I was just thinking this week that I should recommend his record. I think he does pretty amazing stuff and definitely has a sound of his own. I usually don't pay too much attention to what people say in interviews anyway, he might have been really nervous, you never know really. Plus, he did do a cover of Tell it to my heart by taylor dane, can't knock that. And since we're on the BOC topic somewhat, I was at a party recently and someone was playing "the age of aquarius" from the hair soundtrack and at first all I could think was "orange", I never knew that they sampled that, I guess is explains the title.

I've heard nearly all of Max Tundra's work, and most of boc's and I must say that I think Max Tundra runs circles around boc. (is "runs circles" a term proper for the discussion of electronic music?) I've seen quite a few boc posts on this list, but that "Max Tundra...enemies" was the first Max Tundra post, I think. It seems as though boc do not come close to anything I understand to be the definitive and appealing characteristics of idm. I'm not trying to start a debate over who is more idm or more engaging, just why certain ordinary sounding composers get a tremendous amount of press while it takes others to say something seemingly shocking in an interview to get a post. I suppose boc's new album coming up helps them in that respect, but I still notice this. A few words about Max Tundra. He grew on me from something I thought of as a bad 4-track recording into some of the most unique textures layered as though he made it for a three ring circus - "Some Best Friend You Turned Out to Be" His music is just flat out fun. Kind of like the band Ween's Pure Guava album, their Electra debut...how can you argue with something to goddamn wicked? His track on freakbitchlickfly has some amazingly crisp sound to it, as well as the worst synth piano I have ever heard, the dynamics of which deliberately set to clip out during the accompaniment. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? These kind of subtle antics make me just eat his words about boc up. So seriously, what is it about boards of canada? Honestly, I think I am approaching them the wrong way, because a LOT of my friends and the members of this list seem to love them. Any thoughts or recommendations on what to look for? ...and who is this band aphex twin I keep seeing everywh-, kidding... gvp __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
