Your favourite non-featured artist

Justin Broadrick and his various projects

Kevin Martin and his various projects

Surgeon

 

I'd also have said Amon Tobin if he hadn't veered off into this uncertain new direction.

Lorn, Ital tek, Shackleton.

all good. I'd also add Machinedrum and Andy Stott to this tier of artists.

With you on Surgeon and Andy Stott. Machinerdrum I've found a bit more hit and miss over his career (for my tastes), but an undoubted talent.

 

Second Tier IDM. The Championship leaguers, looking to get promoted to the Premiership one day.

Wisp

I got to be honest, all of these people you lot list aren't as great as the Big Chiefs of IDM are they? Lee Gamble? Flol BOC have lasers in their customized Casio digital watches that would vaporize this dude at 1000 miles.

 

I think my choice of Brian Eno is far superior to all of yours. And you know it. Fools!

 

Get this is a bit in jest but it's very untrue. Other than autechre and to a lesser degree afx.. I can take or leave the other feature artist's Edited November 13, 2016 by kirm

HEATHEN!

 

Lone, Bogdan, Oval

Joanna Newsom, Death Grips and Stevie Wonder are what i listen to the most outside of AFX/Ae.

I think Wisp is massively underrated.

I've always enjoyed his tunes immensely but his most recent output is amazing, next level stuff IMO.

atm, rod modell.

Hard to say electronic-wise there's so many I like but non that I'm a super-fan of: Kettel, OPN, drexciya(and related projects), flying lotus, tangerine dream, kuedo, 2562, atom heart, demdike stare, biosphere. (list goes on and on).

 

non-electronic: Magma ( my favorite non-electronic band, AND I've seen them live twice! )

Sasu Ripatti

Alva Noto

Pye Corner Audio

OPN

 

edit: Biosphere

Edited November 14, 2016 by doublename

edmx, drexciya, kraftwerk

Global Goon , no question about it.

 

furthermore i like posthuman, isolée, eod, plaid .

 

That's all listening music. When i am playing records it's an whole other thing.

So with one vote I think I am going to go ahead and declare The Gasman as the undisputed favoured non-featured artist.

 

Well done Mr Reeves ;)

this thread is an abortion

 

in what way?  Certainly no more of an abortion than my 'women and the IDMz' thread. 

 

I should probably read the rules, but maybe you could just save me the time and effort and tell me what threads I should start

dr lopez is hard to please, he's light years ahead as watmmer number one snob which is quite an admirable feat

 

don't let him bother you

Everything is bothering me today.  Salted caramel cappucino at lunch has me wired as fuck.  Sorry for over sensitivity - time to crack a beer.

 

Cheers
