you still haven't elaborated on your comments about originality

oh, upon relistening to the releases i found myself picking it apart more than enjoying it as a product
if you want to say his stuff is a pure original then i guess you can do that, but for me i feel like the influences are fairly pronounced, which is fine... they are good influences to have

IDM is not even close to a well-defined genre so i have no idea who you're referring to when you say IDM. some would say Autechre or Plaid is IDM, but neither of them sound like each other or Aphex Twin

this is a p big problem for me cause i'm working through my music collection and properly tagging everything. i kind of solve it by using "(main genre)/(sub-genre)" for my genre tags but it's still vexing with idm cause like obviously autechre and telefon tel aviv are gonna be in different sub-genres of idm but idk what sub-genre

i like to put one or two related genres on shuffle. right now i just use filesystem directories for the same purpose but i'd like to get more fine grained and if everything's not tagged right i'll get TTV-type music when i want autechre-type music

(ask me about how i have 7 different sub-genres of ambient music in my taxonomy, not including dark ambient and drone, which are their own main genres and have their own sub-genres. i know ambient music way better tho so i'm more comfortable organizing it.)

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here (1975)

Rating: Unfavorable
"Their treatment, though, is so solemn that you have to ask what the point is. If your use of the machinery isn't alive enough to transcend its solemn hum - even if that hum is your subject - then you're automatically trapped. In offering not so much as a hint of liberation, that's where this album leaves Pink Floyd." (Ben Edmonds, 11/6/75 Review)


Boards of Canada
The Campfire Headphase (2005)

Rating: 2 Stars
"On its third full-length album, this Scottish duo drops a mellow, mostly vocals-free mix of gentle synth swishes, analog pitter-patter and codeine-tempoed drum-machine beats. "Dayvan Cowboy" is a glacially pretty slow-burner, but most of the time Headphase is so sleepy it should come with Red Bull." (Christian Hoard, 11/17/05 Review)



from here



oh yeah

Drukqs
Aphex Twin
Drukqs (2001)

Rating: 1 Star
"With Drukqs, James delivers his most irrelevant album to date: a double CD, thirty-track compendium of indecipherable song titles, gratuitously weird sounds and occasional wisps of ersatz classical piano that are aimlessly pretty...Among fans of IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, as this sort of stuff is unfortunately labeled, rumor has it that James merely loaded this record with outtakes that have been eating up space on his hard drive for years, then released the album as a deal-breaker with his label, Warp. Or perhaps the explanation for the incoherence of the album lies in its punny, unfunny title. Either way, he should never have done Drukqs, because his new noise mostly just sounds fukqed up."
