Started off nice, and was in sync with the beats, then it lost the plot pretty quickly repeating itself too much.

YES - I forgot about that Adult Swim Bumper... they made some really good ones back in the day. There was a Clark one that was nice too.

I'm pretty sure Gantz Graf is the ultimate IDM video

I agree, but it's still more fun to listen to a song when there's a video with it, in my opinion that is.

That F-Train one is pretty sick, haha.

Also, that plyPhon video is amazing.

That was annoying. Visually and aurally.

Maybe, but it's also pretty awesome. It has that envelope pushing, modern edge to it. Like the Come to Daddy video did, back in the day.

Gantz Graf might be the most idm, but this is the most WATMM

why the hell did it change? it used to be different images

brilliant

Joyrex, you say Gantz Graf hasn't got a human quality, but in my eyes it's the most human IDM tune and vid out there.

I mean, humanity is innately chaotic and unpredictable with shots of beauty here and there. Sometimes it's unbearably difficult and other times it just fits into place perfectly. Then at the end you just fizzle away into nothing. In some ways Gantz Graf and the video are perfect metaphors for humanity.

What you're saying is you'd rather have watery images to go with bubbly sounds. Which is fair enough, but it makes me think of those toys you had as a kid with the robot voice saying "WHAT GOES.... MOO" and you have to press the picture of a cow.

Yes, but unlike nature, the "machine" depicted in the GG video is cold, and harsh, with sharp lines and edges. It even moves like an engine of sorts, very rhythmic and repetitious. Alex Rutterford even likened it to a machine of sorts in interviews at the time.

And I do think artificial things can have natural tendencies, but ultimately, it's still not truly alive.

Fucking hell, I'm starting to sound like Troon...

You know what you must do....

Gantz Graf is so IDM, it doesn't even have to say it's IDM.

Like Hipsters. If you walk up to them and call them hipsters, they go "what?"

If you asked Gantz Graf if it was IDM it'd just stare at you...

Acidphakist: based on my limited experience of your watmm activity i deem you a hipsterist.

^^^Well comrade, if you ever meet me in person you'll change your mind.

I'm an acid-spouting douchery

I'm surprised noone mentioned Rubber Johnny yet
