joooohn posted:Some other artists worth checking out: Basically, this thread is a collection of disparate movements in electronic music, but since pitchfork mentioned a couple of them and college kids have heard of them, they get labeled as IDM. Like how anyone can think Boards of Canada has anything to do with like Aphex or Mu just blows my mind. insomne posted:I've tried listening to it like twice and I just don't get it. It's sitting on my Zune right now so maybe I'll go check it out, but does anyone have a super entry level recommendation of theirs so I can check that out instead? toadee posted:I would have mentioned Mu-Ziq, Squarepusher, Bogdan Raczinski, Luke Vibert, and Cylob in the OP.

I think it's pretty good. "Cleaning my house"-tracker ambient. "Studying for a test"-instrumental hip hop.

insomne posted:it is a genre (in the same veins as people calling "house" a genre) and a scene and is still going pretty strong. Also when Aphex says he has unreleased stuff, I bet he means he has a bunch of whitelabels, not necessarily all composed by him. ManoliIsFat fucked around with this message at 01:43 on May 19, 2010 |

insomne posted:That's pretty funny. Seems she's still playing shows and stuff. I wonder if The Tuss is kind of the same deal. There's pretty much like a 1% chance it's not RDJ.

insomne posted:Yeah, The Tuss uses some really rare kajillion dollar synthesizer that like 4 people in the world own, one being Aphex. Aphex and Rephlex still vehemently deny that it's him, for whatever reason. Well because they don't want to play in to this college kid game of idol worship. The idea is that's its supposed to be anonymous and mysterious. They're defending it vehemently and kids should be down with that. It's like everyone flipping out to find out who Burial was: that poo poo is stupid as hell, let him be anonymous. Just because you want to put a poster of him over your bed doesn't mean he wants that.
