I hate the phrase IDM. "Intelligent dance music" as if it has more merit than any other dance music. It is not more intelligent than listening to some Gabber and actually enjoying yourself. Floating Points is another one for me, when I’ve seen him I’m just constantly thinking ‘just stick a fucking banger on!’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just like melody. I don't mind it as background noise, ok for in a restaurant or something where you want to have a conversation but I'd never choose to listen to any of them at home. This time around 2 artists had me reaching for the skip button on my Glastonbury playlist Jon Hopkins and Acid Mother's Temple. I just kept wondering when they were going to get to the point. The fact that they don't probably is the point but it's not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 The first CDs I ever bought with my own money are "Justified and Ancient" by the KLF and "Faithful" by Go west. Not sure in which order to be honest. For the sake of this thread, I hope it's Go West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigs with half hour Carl Palmer drum solos ending up with giant gongs being battered, audiences of teenage lads with RAF trench coats and extreme acne. It was ultra cool for a wee while!

Disco Demolition: the night they tried to crush black music https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/19/disco-demolition-the-night-they-tried-to-crush-black-music Really interesting article. I genuinely think a lot of people who claim rock as real music aren't aware of the racist/sexist undertones that is there but that doesn't mean that it isn't. One of the reasons I couldn't really get on board the Foo Fighters train the other year was the way Dave Grohl talked dismissively about the EDM tents as though rock is somehow superior. I personally probably prefer more rock because of my upbringing, product of my environment etc but it doesn't mean it is better. It just has a nasty 'white men are the best, anything else is just not quite as good' attitude. I'm sure Dave Grohl isn't racist but that superiority thing seeps into everything in life.

I don't really think saying an artist is not as good as NIИ is exactly a trashing. Nearly all artists are not as good as NIИ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
