joshuatxuk Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 in my very strong opinion the IDM scene was brought out of a combination of Severed Heads and Coil's early work mixed with a little bit of Art of Noise and kraftwerk. I think Aphex twin maybe won't admit it but he was obviously listening to a lot of the stuff i listed above when he jumped into the fray why are there people claiming early acid house is IDM? fucking n00bs. for once i agree with the man, BCM! late 80's early acid is not IDM. and Raymond Scott is not IDM.. wut!? - anything from the 50's and 60's should be dissmissed also. completely agree, and i think its my first time with you! for me there is a fine line between really out there early industrial like Esplendor Geometrico, Severed Heads and proto IDM. Also probably the closest artist ive heard to Aphex-like IDM that came before is VDB joel Yeah my impression of IDM is that there had to be the "DM," Dance Music, for the "Intelligent" to distinguish itself from. So that should historically place it after techno, house, and late 80s/early 90s rave. Braindance would then be the Rephlex releases actively seeking to lampoon the term IDM.

awepittance Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRSid9ofgOw if i was going to pick the first 'idm' album it would be hard to do since i think the transition from really wacky experimental electronic music to artificial intelligence era warp stuff took a while. IDM is just another way of saying dancey rave influenced music that was outside the box a little bit (aka experimental) imo. I also think an imprint that is heavily neglected when talking about early IDM is the FAX records label. It leaned very much towards a chill out psychedelic dubbed out ambient vibe but there were a few very beat oriented records that rivaled warps early stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnibIqavQXs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
