Guest Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 what is your favourites albums in this genre?? I seriously need to explore this/these genre, so please make some suggestions. to me these 3 genres are very similar, because they all contain the same stuff I like about them: minimalism, spareness, cold/clinical feeling to them ... and sometimes starkness... and they usually have some dark athmosphere which I like too. I wish I could contribute with some more stuff than this, but the only 4 bands I've liked so far are: Kraftwerk Monolake Autechre Rene Breitbarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auryn Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 microhouse and minimal techno are currently the biggest source of creativity in electronic dance music. really! check out some of the stuff from ricardo villalobos, akufen, matthew herbert, and the Kompakt label. really cool stuff, atmospheric and detailed, always pushing for new sounds and vibes.

Krell Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 never heard of microhouse , what the hell is that 321467[/snapback] Find the "sami koivikko - live at mixclub" set - I believe thats mostly microhouse, and its great :-) Psychedelic, Weird, Fresh and Well mixed.

Oopie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 try 'antigen shift' if you want something totally extreme... it's almost like noise art perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonflier Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Sun Electric µ-Ziq Squarepusher Aphex Twin/AFX/Polygon Window Reload Beaumont Hannant Bola Black Dog/Plaid Are some of my favourites. If you want guaranteed quality check out the Dream Injection comps on Sub Terranean. IDM doesn't get better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 About the genres: whatever they're just stupid labels... So far I don't like anything with those harsh rhythms, plops and clicks and random cold melodies. I'm sure that, eventually there's something I'm gonna like... but to me it's mostly dead music that is only about form. It has no content and no interesting atmosphere. My ears hate it. I can listen to it only for a few minutes. I do like it when it's warm and melodic, like Ulrich Schnauss, but his music is too different from what is meant here I think.

amphiton Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Anyone into Thinner? I love their experiments in minimal electronics, especially microhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice warm dubby electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahf Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Rain, don't take Ishkur seriously. It's just his opinion and he's mostly taking the piss anyway. I don't know many artists in this genre, but surely one of the pioneers is Richie Hawtin under his "Plastikman" guise. You'll find it either extremely subtle and innovative or extremely boring. It teeters on the edge for me. Maybe LFO - Frequencies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahf Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Have you read his website? He obviously respects electronic dance music off all kinds but doesnt take it over-seriously. Infact, i quote from www.ishkur.com/music: If you hate the guide, then you obviously didn't take it with a pound of salt like you were supposed to. Go take your anal-retentive sense of humour elsewhere. It's just his opinion. I find his comments mostly pretty funny actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 it was hard finding many of the titles you recommended. I have some new discoveries in this genre though. nothing really fantastic, but still worth to check out: ferenc - fraximal m.r.i. - rhythmogenesis novatek - exhibition Subway - Empty Head Triola - im Fünftonraum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosku Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Find the "sami koivikko - live at mixclub" set - I believe thats mostly microhouse, and its great :-) Psychedelic, Weird, Fresh and Well mixed. 321541[/snapback] I like Sami Koivikko very much, seen him two times. You should try his homepage, there's some mixes for download. Anyone into Thinner? I love their experiments in minimal electronics, especially microhouse. 321715[/snapback] Man I'm like the biggest fan of Thinner! I've downloaded their releases from 1 to 52 (I don't have always access to fast connection so I don't have them all). I think their best stuff are the older releases by Digitalverein, some older tracks by Curse, Paul Keeley - Sussex Blue EP and Baier/Box - Boxing/Unboxing EP. BTW I don't think IDM is similar to tech/microhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
