I agree - this is a very nice pair of songs. Way more involved and interesting than analord 1 & 2 (which sound like really good Bochum Welt tracks) on 2/2/05 9:55 AM, ed c at echurch86@yahoo.com wrote:

i wouldn't talk much... i just have to say i'm completely overwhelmed by the 3 analords that came out so far... they represent absolutely everything i love in electronic music. i'm surprised nobody mentioned 'ammnesia' so far, especaially because the track title indicates to that... massive respect to afx peace miro --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

it matters what you define as IDM. I think IDM is electronic music that tries harder either musically or just with sound. Devo might have not been that great back in the 80's but if you listen to there synth programming it was incredible for the time. They put in the extra time and made some incredible synth solo's, i would call that IDM. But than again, i would also call the talking heads song "born under punches" IDM. It was the avant garde for the time. I would never call SAW 1 and 2 IDM cause now it just sounds like ambient dance but for its time it was IDM so that is my justification.

does anyone use "IDM" in daily life talking about this type of music? even though it's the style i most listen to, i'm usually embarrassed to use it in conversation. it's such a pretentious term. i usually just say i listen to really weird electronic music. seems to define it better than "IDM".

I generally just say I listen to electronic music, and leave it up to the person I'm talking to to make assumptions about what that means, or to inquire more about what specifically I like. They either pigeon-hole me in their mind, or ask me what I mean, and then we progress to specific artists and albums, and the history of the genre/email list. This is, I believe, really the only good way to talk about music: by specific example of the people and releases involved, and what little history/stories there are about the people making it. "IDM" is too specific and/or meaningless at term to serve as a jumping-off point, as far as I'm concerned. -Adam Piontek damek.org Jason Clark wrote:

Ah Adam - good answer :-) Within the last year I picked up Devo's Greatest Hits & companion Greatest Misses at a market stall, which brought back their brilliance with a rush. "Through Being Cool"... brilliant stuff. I have no idea how people would react to their sound now who have never heard them before, though? It's different having memories brought back if you remember them from their heyday, but if you weren't around at that time and come to it fresh now - how does it sound?

It's a new year time to start a new thread about the term 'IDM' eh? Genre names are shorthand, useful for journalists, and even listeners. I would bet money there are plenty of people who have seen 'IDM' in magazine articles and have no idea what the letters stand for. Heh, I saw 'EBM' for a long time before I broke down and googled it. The producers of the music have always had an incestuous relationship with the list, most of them have been on and off the list. Muziq seems to be back in lurk mode. Autechre were on for a while. RDJ was one briefly until he decided we were a bunch of sad twats. I know a couple other guys who are what passes for prominent in this field of endeavor, who are lurkers now. IDM is whatever is discussed on this list, a priori. The tastes of people on this list influence the music that gets made and released. A disturbingly high percentage of the subscribers are also producers. A lot of people were initially inspired by the mailing list to start making tracks. Enough people subscribe to this list to pretty much pay pressing costs for most of the 'this-listy' music. It's all a snake swallowing it's tail action. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I never said I thought it was pretentious. I don't agree with that at all. It's just something that has often come up in conversation with others. I said I was "kind of uncomfortable with the title", as I am with many subgenre labels. Sometimes they don't seem to fit the music. Call it what you will, I love IDM regardless.

Yep. Does this mean that I get to trot out the old John Peel quote to the effect that the best thing about intelligent drum and bass is that it implies the existence of stupid drum and bass, which sounds like it'd be awesome.

Not too useful for listeners - I occasionally catch myself trying to decide whether something's trip hop or IDM, and based on this whether I like it or not. Then I slap myself and try to judge it on its merits. And it's quite dodgy for producers too - once IDM is a genre, it becomes possible to produce generic IDM. It's handy for journalists and for finding things in records shops, though. Personally I don't use the term, because either it'll mean nothing to the listener, or they'll think I mean entirely Mercky stuff when I'm trying to imply a rather broader range of things.

The term IDM might be stupid but if you look at the "genre" thats what it is. We are the electronic musicians music. Just like Stockhausen was 40 years ago we are the music electronic musicians listen to for new ideas, new sound, new music. IDM tends to filter down into a more acceptable mainstream after a couple of years to the point where everyone on the list would not call it IDM but other people (yes the lesser people, we are the master genre) recognize it as something new and cool. Thats what i love about IDM, we are the cutting edge before the edge is cut. David Sim <pmxds@nottingham.ac.uk> wrote:> It's a new year time to start a new thread about the term 'IDM' eh? Yep.

Bon mot of the day, or perhaps mot juste? The thing about being cutting edge is that you start to run out of ways to innovate. Now that we've got music based on distortion so pervasive that it's just modulated square waves, and beats cut up to the point that they oscillate in the low audio range, fake modular synths on our computers that rivals Hans Zimmer's Wall Of Moog, and samples so warped, stretched, and pitched they sound like radios tuned between stations, where do you go from here? I'm not sure the next big thing is going to come out of anyone's laptop. If you think about it, in this day and age, the most revolutionary thing you can do is play acoustic instruments without amplification -- everything else is, effectively, electronic music. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

keep talking . we are barely scratching the surface here ' surround sound is such a shallow term for where I see the future of music. I think we need to forget about how much we can crunch sounds internally in our minds and get the sound out there. Try playing a trumpet in a cave ! I love standing in front of large outdoor PA's in the wind. I want to see artist perform on systems where the whole PA is floating on boats off shore. And I can walk along the beach catching touches of music between breaking waves. If you are truly board and desperate for something new.

Ha Ha . I think we spend alot of time trying to be to smart about it. Everytime I introduce kids to technology ' I am amazed in a really humble and profound way. Personally I am realizing, that I will not come up with a whole lot of new ideas. I basically want to spend the next 15 years refining the ideas I have until they are beautiful. What I would love to do, is putting solid systems in front of young people and let them do what they want. I certainly would never of discovered heaps of music if certain seniors in my life had not shown me the door. From their came the blooming of new ideas and creative intensity. Today ' I have to many hard earned understandings that begin to limit in some sense my ability accept or interperate new things. I have noticed alot of my peers going back to old music. I remember being 18 and trying to figure out why grown up listen to old music, and getting really frustrated about not being able to introduce them to new stuff. Now I find some new music tired and tried. Perhaps if I was 18 again it would be sweet and rich. This is why I feel like I'm trying to be to smart about it! .simon ed c wrote:

Brilliant quote. In 1995, I bought a double pack on the S.U. label (Strictly Underground) called "Intelligent Drum n Bass Volume Two". The liner notes on the backside have always struck me as quite hilarious, both because of the cover illustration (Rodin's The Thinker with a baseball cap on backwards b-boy style) and the obvious sincerity with which the notes were written: "The Strictly Underground Corporation return with another wicked selection of the best Underground Tunes currently Doing It in the UK. As with volume one this Album is the real deal for the purest in Drum & Bass and has NO JUNGLE ON IT. The term intelligent Drum & Bass was coined by DJ's who wanted to specify the quality and musical side of the Drum & Bass Scene. This is the music that can't be thrown together in 5 minutes, it takes time & talent to make, and for those who know, a million miles from jungle. The S.U. Corporation once again giving you the true underground scene for the true underground ravers!" (All caps and poorly-placed apostrophes are S.U.'s own...) Of course, what's really funny is that the purist who wrote these words probably didn't know that SU would be advertising some of it's other compilations on the bottom of the backside: Hardcore Junglistic Fever Vol. 2 Jungle Sound Clash 2 I guess these compilations specify the "shitty" and "unmusical" side of the drum & bass scene, you know, stuff that was thrown together in 5 minutes without time or talent. There's also two tracks on the comp attributed to the artist called "Drum & Bass". w --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Why dont you just call it IDM? Everbody has another name to call it, bur everbody knows this music as IDM, too. If everyone called it different, how do you want people to know what are you talkin about? There is no reason for personal names to a genre called globally IDM. If you say to a person that you list to idm music and that person dont know what are you meaning for, thats ok. Not everbody knew the term Punk or HipHop, or even Grunge at the same time. Lets just called it idm, is the term that everbody knows. This way the genre will grow up, as it has been growing up all this time, i think thats what everbody want. When i first heard this music, i knew it as idm and i dont thoug wrong about the name.

That is not innovation it's pushing to extremes. just because a medium has been explored does not mean it has no capacity for innovation. we have just barely; in the last 7 or 8 years-- scratched the surface of software based music. We now have, at our disposal, at any time, every conceived synthesis method and every single recorded sound at our disposal for music creation.

"Come to Daddy" was also covered by Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton.
