Obviously a bait thread, but I legit grew out of IDM and I'm kind of sad about it. IDM was my favorite genre for a good 5 years, but in the past few years I've been unable to enjoy it at all, and even relistening to my old favorite tracks do little for me anymore. I'd go back if I could
>but now I'm insecure, and care what people think
How did they come up with this?
>>65545548
what do you enjoy listening now ?
>>65545349
only plebs will disagree
I never will. It's my favorite genre and is in many ways a positive force in my life. No other genre gives one solitary person so much room for creativity.

any recommendations for some less well known IDM / ambient techno in the vein of Incunabula / Amber era Autechre and SAW85-92?
>>65546113
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utep6Hhp2a8
this album always had that tribal feeling that vaguely cropped up on incunabula (like on basscadet)
>>65545349
Squarepusher probably has the most sensible, basic name of any producer. Its alluding to literally pressing pads on a drum machine you normie
>>65546207
but it's a reference to an acid dealer
karlheinz stockhausen criticized aphex twin, among other contemporary edm artists of the day, in a magazine interview where he was given sample's of the day's electronic music.
if i recall, his specific criticique of aphex twin was that it was too much dance beat stuff, too much repetition. he challenged aphex twin to compose something without repetition. it seems that his criticism got to richard james, since he fired back saying something like "at least my mates can dance to my stuff", but clearly it shook him up a bit and you can see a change in some of aphex twin's stuff after that point.
anyway, stockhausen was right, and would've loved merzbow. any kind of beat becomes boring and tunes the mind a certain way. a beat is like an anchor to the world of physical bodies; remove the anchor and you can soar into the cosmic skies of sound.
maybe i'm just biased because my friend is a drummer and literally cannot appreciate any music without a rock beat to keep his .1 second attention span active. it's pathetic and it annoys me to be around such lowbrow ruffians.

it's bad if you like aphex, autechre, squarepusher or boards of canada, but don't like twenty one pilots
>>65547954
yes

Aphex Twin is probably my least favorite of the big four. I'd go so far as to say that Squarepusher is the best, and that Hard Normal Daddy is the best IDM album.

nobody addresses the question. i did: early 00's things went all sorts of fun way. acid came back. disco punk , are you kidding me? house music, the whole history of it, let's dig. detroit. chicago. sheeeeeeeiiit. and it goes on and on. and that was what the early 00's when the internet got it shit together and non-trustfund people could start to get some serious knowledge about music without dedicating their whole life to it.
>>65548785
there is literally nothing creative about him.
>>65548850
false
>>65548868
his instrumentals vary from sounding like 2001-2002 grime clash instruments or kouhei matsunaga or shit you'd hear on perc trax or, yes, even watered down autechre. i've never heard an instrumental where i've thought "wow this is totally fresh"

This.
Once described as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music", Richard David James, more commonly known by the name Aphex Twin, is nothing more than an irritating, lying ginger kid from Cornwall (his words, not mine) who has someone managed to achieve near unanimous praise from critics and fans alike for blatantly ripping off other people's styles (Biosphere, Brian Eno and Squarepusher just to name a few) and convincing us this is some totally ground-breaking material we've never heard before, and most people are stupid enough to believe it.
His debut full length album Selected Ambient Works 85-92, undeniably the most disgustingly popular and highly praised work in his career, is often considered to be a pioneering effort in the world of "IDM" and Electronic Dance Music as a whole and is considered "the most important electronic album of the 90's", often by people who have obviously yet to hear any other electronic albums from the 90's. It's a blatant attempt to play off of the popularity of all the emerging dance music genres at the time (Namely Ambient music, Acid House and Industrial Techno) with Richard throwing the most common elements from each of them into his own melting pot and presenting us with the foul smelling excrement which he claims is his own creation, and of course nerdy millennial white kids everywhere who probably know as much about electronic music as they do anything of importance in the world (that is to say, absolutely nothing at all) eat it up and parade it around as some magnum opus of a genre that never really existed in the first place, "IDM". A term which, ironically enough, Aphex Twin is often considered a figurehead of despite the fact he refuses to acknowledge it whatsoever.
>>65549423
>>65549438
it was ironic
>>65549525
Now lets talk about that for a second, there have been multiple occasions where he has shot down the term IDM over the years, often in favour of his own, even more repulsive, term "Braindance" (I mean honestly, what is that?). Yet despite this, just about every major release of his after (and including) I Care Because You Do has been specifically designed to appeal to the IDM community. Richard D James album is his attempt at cherry-picking the style of label mate Squarepusher (who is by far the superior musician) and integrating his own signature "funny/light hearted" sound from the time (haha guys I made a song about milkmen and boobs, haha isn't that just totally RANDOM? I'm so whacky!). It's absolutely abhorrent, how anyone genuinely enjoys this I will never understand, yet still it became immensely popular and propelled him even further into the limelight, as expected.
>>65549571
Come To Daddy and Windowlicker followed, both following the trend of silly yet "experimental" Drum and Bass work from the previous album, although this time he actually attempted to make the most commercially approachable work of his career, a fact he has openly admitted multiple times. Windowlicker is quite literally Aphex Twin "selling out", it was a single designed to be a big hit, which it very quickly became. Once again he'd jumped on yet another electronic bandwagon to propel himself even further into the spotlight, and once again his entire fan base ate it up without hesitation. The album Drukqs followed, an album which, thankfully, was quite panned by critics at the time for being an unapproachable incoherent mess. Despite this it has achieved a cult following amongst his most devote fans, usually those who believe technical ability surpasses actual musicality and talent in importance, or those who fail to realise the meaning of quality over quantity. Richard took something of a hiatus from the music industry after that before, sadly, making a big return in 2014 with the album Syro, which is so bland and unimportant that it isn't even worth talking about.
But on top of his music being nothing more than straight up copycat work under the façade of "originality", Richard David James is the most pathetic excuse of a human being I have ever seen. Constantly harassing and toying with the very fan base that gave him the ridiculously overblown cult status he has achieved, refusing to give out solid and reliable information on just about anything, and worst of all, being an absolute sexist, racist misogynistic scumbag.
>>65549591
Just read a single interview with the guy and you'll see what I mean. Or if that doesn't convince you, try reading through the absolute barrage of nonsensical crap he spat out on his unofficial soundcloud account last year. If that still doesn't convince you that the guy is an absolute braindead moron with no moral code whatsoever, do some research into the meaning of the word "Windowlicker".
So, in closing, Aphex Twin is the single most overrated electronic musician of the 21st century. Just try and prove me wrong.

>you can see a change in some of aphex twin's stuff after that point
for those wondering, Stockhausen's criticism came in November 1995.
aphex had released the I Care Because You Do album and the Donkey Rhubarb EP recently before that, and a year later had released the RDJ album and the Girl/Boy EP
I think he was thinking "shove this 'repetitive beat' up your ass mr stockhausen" when programming the drums for stuff like 4 and bucephalus bouncing ball
>>65554281
bitch he Didn't Get Trips
>>65554408
plus sean is definitely overcompensating for something. obviously the bottom.
aphex = 2/10
autechre = -5/10
squarepusher = 3/10
boards of canada = fuck off/10
twenty one pilots = 11/10
