Anyone know what the BOC boys call their own style?

Gridlocked · Post by **Gridlocked** » Tue May 25, 2004 12:00 pm

Er, Telefon Tel Aviv's 'Fairenheit Fair Enough'.

Shulman - "In Search Of A Meaningful Moment"

Lovely album (although recent, but I know it will become a classic for me) Beautiful soaring ambient glitchiness at it's best.

Here are few electronic music classics:

Mike and Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers
Jedi Knights - New School Science
KLF - Chill Out
Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves
Luke Vibert and BJ Cole - Stop The Panic
To Rococo Rot - The Amateur View

The Expert Knob Twiddlers just sounds so simple like a set of childrens tv theme tunes on acid. It's a great one off collaboration.
Polygon Window is in there for the classic Quoth, (although I think the Bike Pump Meets bucket mix on the single was the best).
Mr Vibert deserves a mention, the fusion with BJ Cole on the pedal steel guitar is superb. Listen to Fly Hawaii.
To Rococo Rot are real favourites of mine, they are polyrhythm masters.
The Jedi Knights album is a great twist of electronic P-Funk.

Mouse on Mars - 'Iaora Tahiti' has got to be mentioned, especially a track like 'Bib', a groundbreaking track for me.

Casino vs. Japan - Go Hawaii - under the influence of BOC maybe but a gorgeous, woozy treat all the same.

Pan American - all of it, lovely glitchy dub from someone out of Labradford. Bit Pole-y but branches further from the template.

This is true.

Oh man, forgot about Pan American! You guys are really making me dig back into my CD collection.

Speaking of which, I was thinking about this topic this morning as I headed to the car, so I grabbed "Amber" as I haven't listened to it in a long time. I was reading the scant text on the back as I sat at a stoplight and saw that the album was released in 1994.

1994!

I can't believe that came out 10 years ago! Before VSTi's and softsynths.

I can't believe it's been that long!

That's the only one I've got, and I find that spectacular... could you recommend which I should get next?

I call IDM "binky-bonk" (it's supposed to be onomatopoeic). Try calling it "mainstream electronica"... pisses the IDM heads right off

.

Edit: No mention of Clarence Park by Chris Clark yet. An unjustly neglected little gem IMO.

Baby Ford 'Fordtrax'. Absolutely stunning. Shame it never came out on CD.

Well, you could get their second album, 'Map Of What Is Effortless' or their EP, 'Immediate Action #8'.

Some people really didn't like their 2nd album though, as it involved a lot of vocals. For me it was the best they could have done with evolving the sound. Music that still remains glitchy whilst soulful and is at the top end in terms of production...

Even if the vocal thing isn't your bag, there is still one tune in particular that in terms of glitchy IDM is astounding on that 2nd album...Think it might be track 7...

Why haven't anybody mentioned Funkstörung ?
"Appetite for Destruction" is one of the all time best albums, ever! I've alos been to some of their live concerts and they are absolutly fab. They are the masters of funky drum programming

Also another vote for "Incunabula" by Autechre and "Music has the right...." by BOC.
If you like BOC - check out their first release "Hi-scores Ep" released on SKAM. Some of their best work

Definite classics:

L'usine ICL (anything... In flight is one of my favorite tracks ever)

Jan Jelinek (likewise anything)

Brothomstates (pretty much everything too =) this guy is a pure genius)

Telefon Tel Aviv (the definition "Michael Bolton meets Reaktor" is accurate, but this is still the best album I've heard in years... and their other stuff is amazing too)

Two Lone Swordsmen (I wouldn't call Sabres Of Paradise IDM though I love everything Andrew Weatherall has done)

Bogdan Raczynski (lots of material but you'll find it good, no matter what you listen)

Funkstörung (especially the remixes I have heard)

I guess all of them have been mentioned at least once, but the good stuff deserves to be mentioned as often as possible

Oh great - thanks Ben!

So now I gotta go back and call all my tunes Techno now?

But I think I get what IDM is... Concept albums? Songs that tie together in a contextual kinda way?
That's me all over!

So something like 'Music Has The Right...' to 'Downward Spiral' to 'Flowers Of Romance'... These would be IDM songs/albums? Man, why not just stick to 'concept'?

EAAN! (Everythings An Acronym Now)

Classic IDM albums?
