IDM Mailing Archive

Here's the bloody clipping from the site itself... PLEASE PAY EXTRA CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LAST LINE IN THE PARAGRAPH... Thanks...Dino - the "totally open-minded" liquid professor... Greetings. The Intelligent Dance Music mailing list was set up in August of 1993 by Brian Behlendorf and Alan Parry as a platform for the discussion of a wave of what was termed "Intelligent Techno" originating mainly from the UK. Initially, the idea was to create a list dedicated to the Aphex Twin but it soon became apparent that there was a whole lot more going on that we felt was worthy of discussion. The most obvious example of this was Warp records Artificial Intelligence series which brought together various artists whose names are now at the forefront of the new wave of electronic listening music. These artists, including Black Dog Productions, B12, Autechre, and Speedy J from the Warp series and others such as Reload, Mu-Ziq, Future Sound of London, Beaumont Hannant, and Ken Ishii are in my mind the epitomy of "IDM". As always, however, there are no specific boundaries by which we are able to define what is and what isn't Intelligent Dance Music.

I don't mean to be a cock, but right now, there has only been one post in response to the orriginal question, and at least three or four bitching about people asking stupid questions. Hmm... You are cluttering up this list with stupid responses that could be kept private. I only post this to the list because I want the message to get out to all of the people who keep bitching -- You are causing more of a problem than the original poster! I deleted most of the bitching e-mails, so I don't have their addy's any more, otherwise, I would have sent this to them only. I'm sick of these stupid IDM list politics. It really is stupid. Can we please just try to keep it about music, and stop bitching about list shit? At least the orriginal poster was (trying) to talk about music, and not the politics of this stupid list. -Andrew. (I realize I'm talking about stupid list shit right now, but at least I am trying to put an end to it) --- Professor Vast <dinobose@hotmail.com> wrote:
