>Amon Tobin - Out From Out Where. I'm a big fan of the man, and this is >my favourite release yet. I was rather happy to find this for £7 a few months back, but was even more chuffed to find Adventures in Foam for £5 :) >Bola - Fyuti. Nearly impossible to find, but terrific emotional IDM >stuff. Hard to find?? Even HMV, of all places, has it. Oh, and Soup is about to be reissued. Yay! >Plaid - P-Brane. Still can't get over this release, it's awesome. Not a patch on Miamivice, though...

>i can't back this up with personal experience, but >i've heard that recent releases on merck recordings >have a sound similar to that of "classic" idm. that's >just hearsay, though. on merck i would recommend thug (detroit-influenced idm), and machine drum's "now you know" lp. other labels with some interesting IDM artists: morr (hermann + kleine, christian kleine, styrofoam) city centre offices (more H + K, christian kleine [can you tell i like these guys?], ulrich shnauss) worm interface (plod, gimmik, jake mandell) leaf (manitoba, susumu yokota) domino (four tet, fridge, mouse on mars) specific recommendation for early autechre fans: gimmik - slow motion process (it's a little more glitchy and upbeat than ae, but some of the melodies remind me a LOT of amber) specific recommendation for those into jazzy house: susumu yokota - sound of sky (can't really describe, just try it) specific recommendation for anyone with a pulse: four tet - pause (absolutely gorgeous) -nub _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

new to the list

Hi all, kind of funny that all this dialog came up about this being a dead list as I only joined it about a week ago. Anyhow the Brown album and Snivilisation are absolutely divine, I am also an aphex twin, orb and autechre type fan (have been since the early days) and have seen aphex and orb a couple of times. I just find that recent releases in the IDM scene don't have the same "magic" than the older stuff admittedly I don't keep up with things much any more. What about some suggestions of interesting things to listen too (preferably available online, I do buy my music but also like to hear it first!" Thanks quinophex -- jabberid = quinophex(a)jabber.earth.li AFFS || http://www.affs.org.uk/ || Not a filesystem

hey, could somebody describe how this sounds compared to the first one? similar crunchy/melodic vibe going on? i really enjoyed clarence park and would definitely pick up the new one if it's more of the same. (or even if it's not, as long as it's good. :-p ) -nub >From: Arfie Mansfield <arfie(a)uit.co.uk> >Reply-To: "It's a cry; a cry for survival." <orbital(a)mailman.xmission.com> >To: "It's a cry; a cry for survival." <orbital(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: Re: [Orbital] Hey All!!!! >Date: Thu, 8 May 2003 19:23:28 +0000 > > >Anyways, here's what I've been into lately: > > ...<snip the usual list of decent IDM etc>... > > >Chris Clark - Ceramics Is The Bomb > > Ooh, it's brilliant, don't you think?
