While I'm thinking about squarepusher, anyone care to suggest some good stuff by any other artists that's similar to Big Loada? Eddie

I think Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination should do.

beg to differ -- clifford gilberto might be akin to 'music is rotted one note' but as far as i know certainly not to 'big loada'. i wouldn't recommend gilberto to anyone unless they know what they're getting into (i.e. fusion wank). -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com

I agree that big loada is less like Clifford but for me it is the closest rival to Tom's early works. IMHO And of course I cannot agree on music rotted one note akin to Clifford. It is not in any way. As it is not akin to his own earlier works. I think he just decided to say: "Fuck with you all, I'm a free artist and not a pre-order pop star". If it is so, I'm with him (though I still cannot dig this one). Alien np. Red Snapper "Prince Blimey"

It really trips me out that so many people on the list don't live "muisc is one rotted note." The first time I heard it I flipped... I still love it. It has such a great blend of grooves+noise+drums. Would it be safe to say that most of you also don't enjoy Miles Davis? "Music is" has such a "bitches brew" vibe to it - it also parallels several of the Live Miles CDs (which are a pleasure to listen to!). Or maybe it all has to do with the fact that "Music is" goes where electronic music doesn't usually go and that the tracks are more like jams or even songs - as opposed to is other blippy/303madness/superchopo-drum-freaks/occasional-bass-noodle tracks. "Music is" was the 1st Squarepusher CD I bought - and now, 8 months or so later, I've purchased almost everything he has released (I have a feeling there are some underlying beta wave transmissions in his songs which have programmed my brain to become addicted to his music!). The album seems so ORGANIC, so alive, I can close my eyes and see him playing this stuff. AH I wish I could see him perform... but we all know about that from that one guy's post months ago... the great "Squarepusher live review AN ANGRY FLAME" from May 1999 From: Crtrdge003@aol.com Ah... now that was a thread :) Ok... time for coffee!

OED : a musical composition for singing. I * Yep.. songs have lyrics and are sung. But people don't like that in IDM songs do they? ;-)

Yes - I think that is so, but the querent was asking for a definition of "song" and in my book a song is a (melodic) piece of music with words which is to be sung. Sing, sang, sung, song - etymologically they all hang together. So the IDM music we listen to generally is/are best described as "tracks" rather than "songs". Thassall. I *
