you had one job OP...

>IDM

>4. Beetles - Aphex Twin

Did they just put random Aphex Twin songs into a hat ?

Don't blame me. Thats how pitchfork listed them. Of course I laughed.

>Flying Lotus in the sub-headline

The whole list was compiled by hitting shuffle on the media player.

Indeed. I like beetles, but it's not even IDM. Does anybody really have Beetles in their Top 10 Aphex Twin songs???

>Textstar anywhere on this list
Damn I should make IDM

good list tbqh

better than the same ol shit Sup Forums posts everyday
nothing is really "idm" if you wanna be like that

awful list, lp5 and four tet in the top ten yet no 00s ae at all. what is drexciya doing on here lol

are you implying Farben is bad or

>no Ryoji Ikeda
>no Alva Noto or Frank Bretschneider
>LFO - Frequencies isn't included
>Confield isn't included
>Kesto isn't included
>Clicks & Cuts vol.1 instead of vol.2
>Glam instead of Iaora Tahiti
>Atavism instead of Stdio
>no Farmers Manual - No Backup

I was pleasantly surprised by their ambient list, but this one is ridiculous.

superior list

factmag.com/2014/09/22/the-100-greatest-idm-tracks-100-51/

>2014
better but already irrelevant when so much groundbreaking stuff have been released these 2 last years

>so much groundbreaking stuff have been released these 2 last years
like?

I remember this list. I thoroughly enjoyed this list.

Come on, man. It's only 2 years. I'd agree with you if the list was 10+ years old.

elseq 1, elseq 2, elseq 3, elseq 4, elseq5 the list goes on....

no Arca, nothing from this experimental Post-Grime/Bass scene (Lotic, Rabit, etc)

>""""""IDM"""""""

>Arca
>Lotic
>Rabit
those are trash lmao

fuck off turny

>their ambient list
>Ambient 1 literally the first album

Come on, nigga

you're on the wrong side of history bb

na I'm perfectly aware that the current idem vanguard consists of trust-fund sjws making second-rate Autechre imitations and getting hype for their choice of aesthetics instead of their music

which sucks but then again idem hasn't been that good since maybe 2007 or so to begin with lol

IDM fans have to the best most psuedo fags ever. always the fags who couldn't handle musique concrete so they attach labels to music that isn't the same ol 4/4 dance club shit


this is IDM youtube.com/watch?v=mg3NrR7_jYk
not aphex making ambient techno

>le wrong generation
IDM is the new dadrock

wheres the dance in that this is just wankery

thats what IDM is you fucking poser

>second-rate Autechre imitations
>Sounds nothing like Autechre
Wow, it's almost like you're talking out of your own ass and your opinion should be completely disregarded

>denial
kk

how does this not screaming autechre?
youtube.com/watch?v=BY9ejw1728w
i swear this board doesn't know fuckall about music

>IDM in 2017
youtube.com/watch?v=z4Y2LCTP-iM

What went wrong?

no its clearly not, idm is rooted in dance music and that is just an old guy hissing in a microphone

nope thats idm in its purest ideology
sorry you can only listen to pop music faggot

no its not you faggot, theres no resemblence of any genre from which idm comes from, as i said its just autistic wankery

youtube.com/watch?v=lqWbYVRUSG4&t=347s
try this it might be more pop friendly for you

thats still pretty autistic, listen to sound poetry instead you might seem cooler that way

whatever you say pleb enjoy your north face jackets n black coffee

I like their selected tracks from BoC desu, Amo Bishop Roden & Eagle In Your Mind sure are in my top 5 from them

No one would care about arca if he wasn't a bumboy

>doesnt even know what sound poetry is
found the poseur

Is there a reason this comp is so hard to find?

The only link in the archive is an incomplete mediafire zip.

>no Beyonce
This is a Pitchfork list?

glitch isn't really IDM

it's not at all, you must be fucking retarded

>using the archive to look for music
oh wait

Log off

Soulseek

The AI comp is so dated. I understand its influence but now it just sounds meh compared to almost everything else on the list

Farben is great I just personally think their music wouldn't bee too hard to replicate.

Nah this is wrong. That's the best music being made today.

Actually know Rabit personally, would be floored if he had a trust fund. He's broke af. Lotic isn't broke but he gets tons of commissions and plays shows constantly. Arca was broke for a long time even after he got big.

Also their music really doesn't sound like Autechre, especially not Rabit and Lotic, and even Arca composes his music in a very different way from Autechre even tho he sound designs in a similar way

You could practically fill the list with Autechre songs.
They are the pinnacle of computer music.

>falling for a pol b8
Rabit released solid stuff imho: I wish he get more success.

More respect to simon reynolds pls

yeah Sd Laika's where it's at

this post has to make me wonder how much electronic music you listen to. I love Autechre but no.

>you could fill an albums list with songs
Genius

That's just the accompanying playlist. Read further down.

this list just proves what a fuckin stupid term "idm" is

in that list you got: electro, detroit techno, ambient techno, downtempo, drill n' bass, hip-hop, glitch, footwork, breakcore, microhouse, minimal techno, dub techno, etc just loads of disparate genres thrown together. one of the vaguest fucking umbrella terms.

So much this.

I particularly love how the Top 10 is all Warp releases bar one.

Utterly stupid

Ahhh...the list is still meh, though

Geogaddi deserved to be number 1.

They included Matmos, SND, Pan Sonic, Jan Jelinek / Farben, Jim O'Rourke and Clicks + Cuts though.

Because IDM in the strictest sense is basically synonymous with Warp.

If Boards of Canada is IDM then does that make Moby and Tycho IDM too?

Shit list. Who the fuck is Simon Reynolds?

>Who the fuck is Simon Reynolds?
nice b8

Seeing the reactions to pitchfork lists on Mu is almost becoming more predictable than the actual lists.

Sorry, I thought pitchfork makes shit lists when its filled with obvious stuff? Now its shit if it has something we've never heard of before? Please let me know-- I want to have an opinion on this before they publish the next list so I don't look out of place.

>The Black Dog, the band that arguably "invented" IDM
>Holds a single spot at 42

>Autechre
>3. Tri Repetae
>8. LP5
>16. Amber
Amber isn't even IDM. Fucking Tri Repetae as the third best album of all time but no Confield anywhere? Ridiculous

Also Los Angeles isn't even close to fucking IDM. Los Angeles is just weird instrumental hip-hop. This whole list reads like they went to the IDM charts on Rateyourmusic to figure out how they were going to rank them

BoC, Amber and SAW 85-92 are ambient techno. Idk why everyone calls them all IDM it's never made any sense to me. Broadcast and Battles are on Warp and that doesn't automatically make them IDM

Since IDM is an extremely broad term.
>No Ryuichi Sakamoto
>No Francois Bayle
>No Manuel Gottsching
>No Kid Baltan
Further proving that the only good Pitchfork list was the one where they describe shitty album covers.

seriously who the fuck is this faggot and why should i care about his opinion

Why does everyone in this thread sound like they're children fighting about toys?

If RDJ doesn't wanna be called IDM he should come up with a better genre label then fucking Braindance

Amazed at a complete lack of Luke Vibert whatsoever.

>30 HELENS AGREE

>Luke Vibert
Why would you be "amazed" at that?

The "OMG IM SO SURPRISED WHERE IS ______" bullshit with these lists needs to fucking STOP.

Just fucking stop it. Its pitchfork. Any surprise at these lists just shows how little you know about pitchfork, not how little they know about music.

>12. Boards Of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country

that's a four song EP by the way

>getting this upset

Just fuckig STOP

At least it's not a list of /bleep/ EDM shit. Like let's be real, that would be the ultimate sellout move.

...

I suggest you go have a lie down.

I suggest you go get som TASTE to wash down your BULLSHIT with

...

>Venetian Snares – Rossz Csillag Alatt Született


Isn't this Breakcore tho ? Labels are the worst

The AO comp is phenomenal in therms of early techno. It's only dated if all you care for is glitchy memetronica like breakcore and later period Autechre.

Rabit is the most full-blown SJW in the whole scene right now, fuck him.

Breakcore is a subgenre of IDM

RYM calls breakcore IDM, Sup Forums actually takes that site seriously loooool

No it isn't you prick.
