Some may remember a while back (maybe even a couple of
years?!) there was a big on-list argument caused by British music
critic Simon Reynolds ripping strips off IDM music.
I was intrigued to read his latest piece (his unfaves of 2000), which
also features a list of what he rates highly from 2001 so far. The list
includes Matmos, Herbert, 'Staedtizism 2', and "bubbling under"
includes mention of To Rococo Rot & I-Sound, Chris Clark, Hellfish,
Manitoba, 'Clicks and Cuts 2', the 'Hypercity' mix on Force Tracks and
so on.
I guess like me he's not much of a fan of the sound that most people
think defines IDM, but heaps of the above strikes me as very this-
listy stuff.
The complete list as at the bottom of the following page:
