Basslines that make the weak-willed faint........ innovated by the drummer from Napalm Death........ the tracks 'Angels' by Vex'd and Toasty Boy....two amazing yet completely different tracks with the same name......... Sin City being the most sampled film ever in one genre...... these are some of my favorite things about this music..... and listening to it really loud! Don't be a hater, smoke a reefer and jam out with me...... Man....... Guy....... listen to Rob 7 by Darqw…

Can't overstate how important this guy's contributions were. Similar feelings to the loss of Peter Rehberg a few years ago, though farther reaching. Brought computer/electroacoustic music to much wider audiences outside of academia and it's hard to imagine the taste of many WATMMers, myself included, without his contribution, in these regards and was also a founding member of the excellent groups P.D. and P16.D4 in the 80s. He also founded the classic techno label Force Inc. Music Works. which put out its own amazing music for the dancefloor. He will be surely missed, though his legacy shall never cease due to his excellent curatorial skills.

Anyone else really into unrelenting hard techno? I still love melodic IDM just as much, but lately I've been inspired by tracks where melody is an afterthought or discarded outright. Texture and rhythm have taken its place. This stuff sounds amazing in a club, provided you remembered your earplugs!

Hi all. I realized music that sounds like spiritual, etheric ambient glitch/techno is the type of music that my mind resonates with the most. Some examples might be Oval, Vladislav Delay, SND, Visible Cloaks, Huerco S., etc. Do you know something similar? Can be visuals too. https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/flash-websites/sixstation-2002

What are some albums you think more people should hear and deserve more attention? Genuinely curious and looking for things ive missed in the IDM world Some of my little known favs: Exm/Mitoma's e/m: e|m | exm|Mitoma | Mitoma (bandcamp.com) (very phoenecia, morphying song/album, mechanical but very personal as well oddly enough. Gorgeous. Their other collabs are awesome too!) All exm's albums, particularly llmnt and Modulus: Modulus | exm | Touched Music (bandcamp.com) C Mantle's Anatomically Correct: Anatomically Correct | C Mantle | Acre Recordings (bandcamp.com) (great mix of richard devine's intensity with Autechre....Abstractly catchy as h…

We've had a few zine related threads in the past, but there is a resurgence of private press books coming out, so better to collate them all in one thread.

in the past 20 years we've gone from the East Coast vs West Coast debacle, to Nicki Minaj vs Iggy Azalea, lol. It's a new century for sure, a lot more entertaining (we need a break from reality lite than ever as the earth descends into chaos) and a lot more lighthearted. It's a sexy rap war oooh! and leave it to women to bring it on, sweet.

I'm currently listening to Microgravity. The "reissue with bonus album" edition. And I'm wondering what you guys' (inclusive for all genders and sexes!) favourite Biosphere album is. Mine is probably either Microgravity or Patashnik. Never been properly grabbed by his more concept/ambient releases. So I might be missing out massively. And, to be fair, if you're into 90s artificial intelligence IDM, both of these are rather obvious choices. A bit too obvious perhaps. Because the period and style are pretty on the nose. If you also love his older albums, leave a shout. And more importantly, add suggestions for the people who got their head stuck in the early 90s (…

I'm surprised to be unable to find a thread on this release. This album is an absolute mood if you haven't given it a spin. This track in particular is one of my favorite tracks they've ever recorded:

Afrobeat only turns up 9 hits on watmm, so I figured I'd make this thread in celebration of one of the greatest musicians of all time, Fela Kuti. Fela Anikulapo Kuti (1938 — 1997), or simply Fela, was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, pioneer of Afrobeat music, and human rights activist. - Wikipedia Fela Kuti & Egypt 80 - CBB (Confusion Break Bones) [youtubehd]BBD2CXMBWQ4[/youtubehd] Deadi bodi geti accidenti. Yee pa! Confusion breaki boni. Yepa! Na double wahala for deadi bodi And the owner of deadi bodi Double wahala for deadi bodi... --- Fela Kuti was the mouthpiece of Nigerian counterculture in the 1970s. He developed a…

And why not. I think we need a Drexciya thread pinned in GB as this music is the music that all need to hear. If you don't know Drexciya then you probably only like Ganjasufi and Grizzly Bear so fuck you. I'm listening to Triangular Hydrogen and my dick is rock hard. ROCK HARD. Amazing music.

Inspired by the "what got you into music" thread, I decided to expand on the video game music discussion. There's some real classic electronic music contained in old videogames, and probably lots of things people haven't heard. I'm not really into chiptunes, or listen to that kind of 8bit style at all, but that kind of discussion would be good too. Also someone posted some sonic/michael jackson remixes a while back which I thought was awesome but haven't been able to find it again. Some of the best videogame music I've heard was from a PC game in 1993 called SkyRoads, and it was actually a huge technical error that somehow made the music better than how it was origina…

I've been listening to a lot of noise music this past year, and decided now would be a good time to dedicate a thread to it. By noise, I mean power electronics, harsh noise, industrial (the more experimental non-EBM variety) and more abrasive avant-garde music. But feel free to post anything in the general spirit of noise here, be it noise rock or whatever. As long as it's good and noisy post it here. I was lucky enough to pick up two Thirteen Hurts CDs at this year's Victoria Noise Fest, both of which are top notch amazing noise albums. This is a video of him recording one track off of his Chemtrails album: Unfortunately it's tough to find anything …

Not sure how many Hexalyne fans we have on the message board, but I figured I'd open a post for him as he's one of my favorite artists of the modern times. I honestly think he's one that can and deserves to get much more attention based on the strength of his work so far... a real heavy hitter for IDM these days, i think. Hexalyne has three main LPs so far, Tcaresett on Kaer Uiks label: Tcaresset | Hexalyne | Kaer'Uiks (bandcamp.com), and then Null Surfaces and Exivvaves on Point Source Electronics: Null Surfaces | Hexalyne (bandcamp.com) and Exivvaves | Hexalyne (bandcamp.com). Last year he also had a killer split LP with an artist called Lain on Evel: Evel 46 (96KH…
