resurgence of idm

new jega... new aphex....... etcetera

what do you think? 96?

i hope not. afx has probably taken new directions for his new album anyway, as always.

watch the new direction AFX goes in start a new genre of alternative shitty electronic music... that will be copied but never anything like it and be even shittier.

well it's almost a new decade right. so this could be big

i think also its an interesting sign that Aphex signed Wisp to rephlex, not to say that Shimmering Hour is straight IDM because it isn't but it gives me that same warm 1996/97 feeling from electronic music back then

idm has become the prog rock of the early 21st century.

IDM has come from the future

and is here to show you how to party

actually makes a lot of sense if you apply the technical sho offy aspects of most prog rock to the technical showoffy sequencing and processing tricks of IDM. the biggest difference is IDM came out of new musical technology and the curiosity surrounding it

No, they'll all just be huge disappointments because people can't get the mid-nineties out of their heads and have unrealistic expectations and kind of want to have the same album over and over again.

same sort of fans tho...can't appreciate it unless it's 'complex', and 'well produced'.

nevermind the music.

nevermind the bollocks.

nooooo.

prog needed punk.

idm needs punk. the 2009 equivalent of, so to speak.

Gabber?

oh good god no.

ugh idm. it's so stale these days. i don't even really have high expectations of new aphex twin material. considering how quickly i became bored with analord/tuss.

no!

It's the bebop jazz/free jazz for the 21st century....

or the new compositional ("classical") music for the 21st century....

No it's the new punk....

Yep, it's punk rock forever....

and maybe prog rock...

but punk rock hates prog rock...

Ok ok....

VSnares is punk,

Plaid is bebop jazz,

Autechre is free jazz,

and

Squarepusher is prog rock,

but

Aphex Twin is Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Brahams, and Wagner in one person....

idm is just a bunch of wanky wank computer shit

IDM is to disco as disco was to polka
