modey Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Old Nautilis was great but maybe it sounds different now? The traq on the Six Records comp has always seemed a little waq to me. I can't remember any of the tracks on that compilation, even though I owned a copy at some point. But yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the Malcom Kipe stuff. Axolotl is one of my favourite IDM albums of all time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascdi Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Agreed! I actually just found a copy of Axolotl recently… so glad I finally have one. I have one of the Sketches EPs and that is super lush as well. I need to track down a full copy of that release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimandres Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 If anyone is interested, Planet Mu actually still have CD copies of Are You an Axolotl for sale. I got one a couple of years ago, but they are still in stock: http://www.planet.mu/discography/ZIQ050 No copies of Sketches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 wow didn't know one guy handled distribution from Mu it's so small and personal "Physical goods will not be shipped until 10th March 2014 due to Thomas's paternity leave. If you want your records before then may we suggest Boomkat.com or Bleep.com (This does not affect orders placed before 8th January 2014)."

Does no-one else involved in the company know how to read an order, package an order, and put it in the post? I'm not hating on it at all, it just seems weird to hold up shipping for an entire record label because someone is on pat leave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 make sense for a lot smaller / startup labels i guess. Mu's been around for quite a while now - but I guess they don't really need that much distro power from their site since they got 3rd party distributors. I've gotten a few things directly from MU - and it's kinda mind boggling that I know the name of the guy who put together my package - Thomas.

Guest Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 A lot of the idm musicians mentioned in this thread didn't simply make floaty melodies on top of glitchy beats, they toiled over having a unique sound design palette that they could call their own. Another good example is Cylob, he carved his own path for so many years but imo never really got the attention he deserved. Hwat? Undergroundists love his lobster style etc. output. As for further attention, Cylob was one of the FEW undegroundish totally geek ass mofoz to get any attention "from the mainstream". Remember Rewind? I belieeeve only Aphex Twin- in that tier of artist- got MTV music video airplay (well, and Mike P, but that was Virgin so natch...). It was a music video played worldwide on music TV, from Rephlex. That is fucking crazy as fuck, so despite him later focusing his efforts towards writing software that basically only he used (a true geek), he got thousands of times more attention than most underground geekoz would/will ever get, from a mere numbers perspective. Toootally fucking luckily. Insane, really. And then he released his ultimate Cut The Midrange Drop The Bass track, and nobody cared because it was too epic. Aaaaanyway... Forgotten artists.... Um, Lektrogirl? As for nautilis, I posted this over at braindance, but some of you here might not've seen it... (real screenshot I took from facebook): It was uh... pretty funny: Poor Skyler. I thought he'd have matured over the last 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peace 7 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I need some new 2lone swordsman in my life. Not quite IDM, but in that sense, they were pretty IDM. Old school TLS. Old school Photek, as well- so phresh; not even appropriate under dnb label. Well IDM, bwoi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronchuseven Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I love the Intricate records I own, In Pectra & In Conclusion. It appears the last thing they released was on the hemispheres remix comp in 2012. Not too forgotten, then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaSaul Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I revisited and discover some pretty good music with this one, thx you all. What about Ben Jordan? The man is still very active, even if he move away from is more acid-idm oriented stuff (acidwolf, flexe and Human Action Network) but there some good track on is soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/bennjordan/flexe-over-night https://soundcloud.com/bennjordan/acidwolf-s-kedzie-theme There is some more I can recall on top of my head: Deru, Cepia, Xela, Gridlock, Point 7, Sabi, Unit and the Cottage Industries series.

Very nostalgic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
