despite idm acts often being praised here (aphex, venetian snares, autechre etc) i rarely see the genre itself, related record labels, and lesser known artists being discussed.
post recs, favs, rare rdj's. idc. go with the flow

Thats future jazz
>>66300163
I wonder if that dude who really knew his shit from the last one of these that popped up is still around
>>66300501
Thats downtempo ya dingus
The RYM list for '''''IDM''''''' is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Theres house, hip hop, downtempo, techno and other genres which aren't remotely '''IDM'''.
PROTIP: Its not an umbrella term for ''''electronic music''''' /bleep/ would rip you apart for posting in their general.
>>66300501
yeah no shit its got jazz influences/could more aptly be called future jazz. tell me something new. regardless, there are obvious idm elements in flanger's music (short note with a few, options in the fire from templates)
what >>66300593 says simply confirms the thought that there aint any objective opinion on this stuff anyway
>>66300661 "thanks". threaten me with nasty bleep lol
>>66300661
RYM blows for electronic genres in general
pic related is in the top 50 for techno, and as great as it is it's not exactly an essential of the genre
not to mention that singles and eps are largely ignored as well
but yeah, IDM is especially bad, they tend to use it for anything remotely experimental that isn't glitch/noise and then call a bunch of it ambient techno for no reason
>>66300719
I'm >>66300593 and I was joking about that, I've actually never listened to the album in the OP. what you're saying sounds pretty reasonable though.
>>66300752
give it a listen! the other dude is correct about the album being more future jazz than idm, but there isn't that much pure idm to go around anyways.
>>66300769
I'll trust your taste and recommendation since you just posted a great album, but it'll be a bit before I get around to it since I have fucking gigabytes of music to go through (especially since encountering the knowledgeable anon I mentioned in >>66300593)
>>66300805
cool. do you have a link to that thread or any other way i can get ahold of the album titles etc? dont browse mu that often and mustve missed it. would love to have a look
>>66300815
here's the thread: >>66266270
here's a list he did on discogs: https://www.discogs.com/lists/Esoteric-IDM/158473
and here's a pastebin of every album tagged as IDM in his library: http://pastebin.com/raw/4Takuf75
be aware that his taste leans more towards the ambient techno side of things, but I've already found some pretty good shit from him
there was also some other good stuff mentioned by people in the thread, so it's definitely still worth checking out
>>66300661
>>66300719
boards of canada and aphex twin are their top recommendations for techno music
rym blows in general for electronic music tbqfh
>>66300720
the sor ost is also the top for acid house (whereas none of the actual essential acid house records are in there)
Plaid is where it's at in terms of idm. Haven't heard their latest album yet but it's supposed to be gud
>>66300910
>the sor ost is also the top for acid house (whereas none of the actual essential acid house records are in there)
kek, why am I'm not surprised. at least the SOR osts are getting the praise they deserve (though the first one is by far the worst to my ears.)
>>66300933
I've never been able to get into them or The Black Dog from what I remember. their stuff struck me as generic as fuck. not to say they don't do what they do very well, it's just that all the tones and sounds used on their work are the most simple, basic IDM-ey ones imaginable, and I'm a slut for unique sounding stuff.
post some tunes dont argue again about the term its fucking boring

damn, that EOG tune is more Autechre-esque than the Gescom one. can't believe I've never heard of them before.
comfy tunes

IDM doesn't really work as a genre for me. Whenever I go digging into more obscure artists it's all really terrible, especially the stuff recommended on /mu/
>>66303817
it's in this weird in-between area of being a scene and a genre. there's a few big names that are god-tier and then there's some hidden gems as well, but 95% are shitty knock offs that sound samey generic as fuck.
I'll recommend you Clark, Brothomstates, and Ilkae for some decent slightly more obscure stuff though.
>goat early 90s cyberpunk ambient techno based on blade runner movie
tell me why haven't you listened to this album today anon
>>66305596
s-sorry anon
in my defense it's been sitting in my "needs tagging" folder for a good while
