successor to autechre? i'm not sure if it's even possible, because the impact they have had on IDM is not going to be matched in any way. someone who takes IDM in a completely different direction could possibly happen. there is a huge IDM internet culture right now. like you said, lots of small labels, though the content isn't very good with most of them. the only artists i think could have as big of an impact as autechre (excluding my own work of course, hehe) is a group called EU. i don't know if any of you are familiar with them (since i am new to the list), but they are these two russian guys who have a good bit of stuff up at mp3.com, and it is like you said, out of left field. you can tell there is an IDM influence, but it doesnt sound anything like autechre or aphex ar whatever. they call it experimental hip-hop or something, but it's nothing like that really. their beats and timing is disjointed and their melodies also are all over the place. you'd have to hear it for yrself. but i personally think it has the potential of being great stuff. i try to create original music of course, and i think it is usually pretty creative. but everyone else thinks their own music is great, so that's not saying much. as for BoC....i don't think they're special at all. a few songs are kinda cool, but that's it. i know a lot of people like them a lot though, so maybe i'm missing something. as for people listening to labels instead of individual artists, i dont see that happening. there have always been some people who do that, but i don't see the majority doing it, basically because for a label to be consistently great is not common. that's all i'll ramble about for now. cool list btw. :jason (ecux www.zenapolae.com) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Agreed, but AFAICT, in this thread the word "successor" is defined as the list's focus of discussion. If that's the case, then a successor is on the way (I know I'm tired of hearing/talking about Ae).

Cool, I'll have to check this out. Thank for the suggestion.

This is (especially) true with one of the great electronic labels of our time, Fax. Sometimes a release will come out of Fax and be incredible, and then something like Jet Chamber 5 slides by. I'll argue that the idea that some unknown artist will come out of left field is as probable as Namlook emerging again right from beneath our noses to be the IDM god for the double aughts. Has anyone here ever heard Solarized by Namlook? It's an IDM opus. And, *imho*, Ozoona (Namlook and Gordon together like chocolate and peanut butter) has replaced Balil's Parasight as the optimal IDM record. Fax is supposed to be an ambient label, but IDM abounds in its ranks and Namlook is at the helm. Btw, this is all pure subjective opinion representing my individual tastes. Take it or leave it. Now, back to lurking... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
