There's also no way around Wisp. 'laff' on "in a blue face" ; 'the knep (myself)' on "humpelndenbeats" to name just 2 out of a huge archive. Wisp's 'success' in style and recognition is inspiring various collectives! again, there's no 'evergreen' collection of netaudio idm that could come along without him.

+1 for planet boelex

By: Frank

Frank — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:36:15 +0000

Hi mo,

my favorite is "transient" no one has such close successions in releasing music. And most of the tracks are really great!!! Have a look at: http://www.frontiernet.net/~transient/
Some of those tracks were done on palmOS with
Bhaji Loops.

Also a great suggestion is the italian netlabel http://www.upitup.com:
artist: drone http://www.upitup.com/catalogue/release.php?cat_id=23
artist: seed
http://www.upitup.com/catalogue/release.php?cat_id=25

Another cool label is http://www.bedroomresearch.com or better the artist http://www.deework.com :

Have look to these tracks:
http://deework.powweb.com/DISCOTEK/DEEWORK_not_for_shoes/DEEWORK_not_for_shoes_WHISH.mp3
http://deework.powweb.com/DISCOTEK/DEEWORK_not_for_shoes/DEEWORK_not_for_shoes_MALODENT.mp3
http://deework.powweb.com/DISCOTEK/DEEWORK_not_for_shoes/DEEWORK_not_for_shoes_YHOP.mp3

@ awx: yeah the ruxpin rmx of tier&tie really rocks!

And to do some self-advertisment (eerrrr):
"elapse" with "going for a spacewalk" or "increasing entropy" - You can find the album "weapons of mass-education" here:
http://www.moodsplateau.net under "albums" :)
or here: http://moodsplateau.net/moods-php/index.php?mds_action=netalbums&mds_menu=m_releases

i'm quite surprised no one has mentioned planet boelex! suunta (http://kahvi.org/152.php) and second thoughts (http://www.mono211.com/content/releases/mtkmp147.html) are both masterpieces of idm, imho

as for artwork, i always associate idm with 'glitchy' artwork, such as can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/glitches/pool/

Bettina Rhymes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:59:11 +0000

these are my "IDM" faves:

zavoloka - nathnennia
from http://www.nexsound.org/ns17.html
(she's a good graphic designer)

mark hamn - sirop de alucose
from http://www.sinewaves.it/s3p013.htm

resynthesize - supersynth
from http://www.archive.org/details/exp039

paranerd - caught your tumble (plosive mix)
from http://www.one.dot9.ca/2/releases.php?id=031
(one netlabel does good artwork, too)

d'incise - insectes diurnes et nocturnes
from http://www.zymogen.net/releases/zym009

just some random output... all of these are not actually new, but you've been asking for the all-time faves!

@mo.: Modul - Complete is already classical IDM track.
There is even a 9 remixes release for it on phoke label.
But I like them all, it's really hard to choose one, I like to listen albums from begining to the end.

Its very hard to select some IDM tracks when there are thousands :) By the way, I like your magazine and releasing these compilations is a great idea.

@KeKc: which track is your favorite from modul?

By: mo.

mo. — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:55:12 +0000

a definition of IDM could be found on wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idm

i mostly define music done by funkstörung, autechre and for example some aphex twin music (windowlicker) as IDM.

to me IDM sounds melodic, uses often heavy editing on beats, comes spherical. just listen the examples above and you get an idea!
