Just for fun I've compiled a quiz for IDM'ers
Mostly it's pretty easy with a few obscurities mixed in.
But to make it trickier to get full marks I will award marks for
proper info on each question. Eg If I say "Who released a compilation
of singles with only one unreleased track, which is an alternative
version of another track on the LP" Then you get marks for Aphex
Twin, Classics LP, and Digeridoo (Live in Corwall). But not the cat
no., release date, OK trainspotters?
All are IDM or somewhere near, that includes some techno, trip hop,
jungle/d&b, ambient stuff etc.
A. Samples - who used the following:
1. The beatles "hard days night"
2. A little child says "I'm sad. And unhappy"
3. "Laughing by mum"
4. Zapp's "More bounce to the ounce"
5. Zapp's "It Doesn't really matter"
6. A track by the Bar Kays (and re-used the title?)
B. Track & Release Titles
1. Which track on Aphex's "Classics" had had 2 other spellings?
2. Who included words for the male and female genitalia on their LP
title and artist id?
Who released:
3. "Stupid Wanker"
4. "Just a fuckin' idiot"
5. "Five"
6. "Viper"
7. "Cortina"
8. "Lee Perry"
9. "Sergio Mendez"
a. a type of Shampoo
C. Releases:
1. Pete Namlook finally released "Summer" in 95. Which season came
first?
2. Who's album was released under a name incorporating a sports
equipment manufacturer?
3. What EP was originally on red vinyl only, and was finally released
on CD as an accompaniment to a full length
4. Which US techno pioneer released his debut LP
5. Which UK techno supergroup failed (again) to release their 2nd LP
6. What was released on single sided 7" limited to 1000 as part of a
set, then made available on a mini-album CD?
D. Who's artwork used:
1. Images which George Lucas might (did?) object to?
2. A self portrait and lots of horrible scribbling?
3. A polystyrene sleeve?
4. A compilation LP on quad vinyl in Red, Yellow, Green and Blue?
(OK so the last one isn't really artwork, per se.)
Tie break :-)
Pronounce "Autechre" OR spell Mike Paradinas' main alias in ASCII.
The highest score wins a mixtape. Any answers which are not my
expected responses will gather points if verified to a suitable
degree of certainty. (a novel touch that!)
Have fun and enjoy Christmas - I'm outta here right now...
