Tampere, Finland, the Far North corner of the Earth. No polar bears.
On the list since early 90s. Classic IDM buff (GPR, B12, Likemind, Warp,
A13, Skam, Clear/deFocus, New Electronica, Markant, RePHLeX, etc.),
expanded for added electro goodness (SCSI/AV, Scopex, Surface Effect,
Electrix, Signal, Pylon, Modern Love, Data, Satamile, World Electric,
etc.) since late 90s. Also quite a bit of techno, some ambient, some jazzy
DnB, experimental weirdness, classical.
Oh, and I find it rather amusing that someone periodically opens up the
can of worms that is IDM: acronym, genre, whatchamacallit? I couldn't care
less if some people use it as a name tag for pseudointellectual social
snobbery or as an artificial genre slot. The list has been a virtual
cornucopia of eclectic genres, cross-overs, what-have-you - I know I've
been quite the trainspotter during the years, but trying to conclusively
define what IDM is is just WOMBAT (There's an ETLA for you to Google).
I haven't posted anything on the list for quite some time, and now is a
good time to de-lurk as any. I've not had anything to contribute, anyway.
Maybe I should. Someone back in the days mentioned that the list "used to
be the sh*t - now it's just sh*t." Now why is that?
How are the more recent Skam releases tickling your ears?
Cheers,
