Daily reminder that there's isn't anything better than Autechre in electronica.
"Intelligent Dance Music." It sounds very pretentious, and it is to an extent.
I would define it as a kind of techno with an emphasis on percussion. It was originally supposed to be dance music that you just kinda danced to without really dancing, if that makes sense.
>with an emphasis on percussion
wouldn't that make it more dancey, not less?
No love for Plaid? New album out soon.
Wow, really? I've heard no news about that.
...Kind of.
Here's some examples where the percussion is batshit insane, not the last one so much but it fits.
Acroyear2 is kind of weird for an Ae track. Their drums are usually either fast and relatively simple or complex and measured. It's probably the closest they ever got to drill n bass. Their drums usually tend to err on the hip-hop side (like Cipater)
the aphex twin isn't available in my country. the autechre one sounds nice though, thanks.
His stuff has always sounded kinda generic to me, like what you'd get if you tried to make the average IDM track from the latter half of the 90s
It's two people mate, annd The Black Dog were one of IDM's OGs
is it ok to relax the icy tough IDM guy attitude to lie in bed and cry to rae all day
I know that, for some reason I was just retarded and slipped up
That statement applies to The Black Dog too, I've just never been able to get into them, even their acclaimed stuff
If anything the IDM guy attitude is being a playful sperg, not icy
if you're wearing your northface black raincoat
Yeah. It's one of their few tracks that's near impossible to deconstruct, 777 also comes to mind.
The only IDM artist from the OP is Autechre and sometimes Aphex Twin.
Squarepusher is Breakcore (or "Drill n Bass")
Boards of Canada are Ambient Techno
I like them, but I wouldn't call them good. So, I don't care for their new release.
What's the closest to noise song Autechre has made?
Gantz Graf, probably

I need music like Vletrmx21 it's the best synth-based song desu
Squarepusher is just Drill n' Bass, few tracks can be classified as breakcore.
any Michael T Roper fans?
Really enjoyed this one what would you recommend? I especially liked the very organic sounds and the complex rhytmh schemes
Drill n Bass is a meaningless concept if we already have Breakcore, imo.
They recently remixed a Russell Haswell track and it's pure noisy techno. spl9 is pretty noisy too.
Sorry to turn it into a Ae thread btw
machinedrum - rooms

Any other stuff like this?

Okay, I have a question. Why is it that in most music circles it's uncool or nerdy to listen to so-called """IDM""" but stuff like Arca and releases on PAN are well regarded and hip? Maybe it's just that the name has sort of died off, but it's not really all that different...
Because 'IDM' is 'pretentious'
The name is, but the music really isn't
Like I don't listen to it to stroke my chin, I listen to it cause it's fun and nuts
I'm aware, I was just saying that's the general attitude a lot of people take toward it
pan would sign autechre or aphex in a hearbeat
and arca is on all the idm og shit, it's bread and butter to them
the press won't make it about the music for any of those guys
always some other bullshit they glued onto it
it's all the same thing you're right, but anyone with ears knows that
