Re: IDM

*I dig Amon Tobin, Boards Of Canada, and Manitoba hugely, whereas I cannot get with most of what I've heard from Autechre, Squarepusher and Aphex Twin. In some circles of music fans this makes me a FABIO amongst SS2 fanboys.


I would say there's very little relationship between those first three bands and the second three. Amon Tobin and BoC aren't usually categorized as IDM (though nobody tries to get called that now, apparently) - abstract hip hop is what I see more often. Manitoba's Up In Flames, as my non-electronic-music-listener friend pointed out, is more like a Beck record than anything in the usual electronic canon. I'd call that electronic indie rock (his previous album is more middle-of-the-road IDM).

All three of those IDM artists peaked a long time ago and are currently releasing bullshit. Ultravisitor, on reflection, can eat a dick.

You should try Four Tet's Rounds (if you haven't already) because it's a lot like the bands you like.

If I wasn't on dialup I'd check out that swordsmen thing. =(
