I can't get over good this feels, especially Mr. White @ 24:45
- Cheers, this is ace.thumb_screws
- I saw them in Philly. Wonderful music but no stage presence at all. Would be perfect for a bar venue, not the Electric Factory.cannonball1978
- nice sound.utopian
- So so fucking good.ApeRobot
- uan7
- I never heard that version of Bug Power Dust. I only knew the K&D mix. This is great stuff.CyBrainX
- Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis was released 25 years ago. It not only still holds up today, but is as good or better than most of the dumb shit pumped out.utopian
- +3 to all this and another for Flora https://www.youtube.…MrT
- The La Funk Mob Mix was the best version of Bug Powder Dust Bomb https://www.youtube.…err
- Cazz Bee piece and Groove RecordsPhanLo
- The Bug Powder video is so well made it seems modern now.PhanLo
- CyBrainX4
- Kieran should be way in the middle, then Autechre and Amon more close together, Amon Tobin and Squarepusher, but start with Tycho then maybe Moderat/Apparatgrafician
- then a long way 'till Jon Hopkins and Caribou, not to mention Nosaj Thing and Trentemøller and so on, up to even Bjork :))grafician
- you got yourself into a LOT of music exploration my friend hehegrafician
- good to see MoM get a shout on this - often overlooked. this is the biggest and tbh most 'dated' sounding album by each artist, not their best.kingsteven
- and everything post 2000 (note the two american artists) is another 'generation' of music. although fridge were incredible pre-fortet - thats all post kid a.kingsteven
- which is where the carbon dating on originality in electronic music gets fucked up post-plinkerpopkingsteven
- and all these artists (and beyond) were listening to coil, oval, pan sonic etc and mixing it with dance genreskingsteven
- floating points had one decent tune on the album before this, no idea why he's there hahkingsteven
- but Floating Points is so great.CyBrainX
- just being cheeky, it just seems nuts that there's an arrow from hard normal daddy... could be any electronic record in the preceding 23 years.kingsteven
- Floating points would seem to me to be more influenced by Detroit and Avant Garde/ Jazz. Is Carl Craig IDM now? Miles Davis?kingsteven
- i feel so intelligent after listening to all of thismilfhunter
- worst 'genre' of all time. if anything the drugs i took trying to dance to it knocked a few points offkingsteven
- All genres are awful. They provoke silly arguments and should only be used in retail situations or by streaming services for people to search for new music.CyBrainX
- i mean the name, it infers intelligence on the listener over regular dance music, hideous :(... the 'artificial intelligence' comp suggests the opposite.kingsteven
- ^ Agreed. It's absurd. Also, I would love to see someone dancing to Aphex Twin or Autechre.CyBrainX
- Just made a playlist with all of these albums.stoplying
- Not sure I’ve been to a more banging, intense and purely beautiful gig than seeing Aphex. Highly danceable stuffIanbolton
- And yeah, why the hell are Floating Points in here? You’d be better off slapping early Chemical Brothers or Prodigy in thereIanbolton
- Ignore that last comment. I’m obviously too baked to make a coherent argument for those choicesIanbolton
- I don't know of anyone down under here that would even say Intelligent Dance Music. Not back then either.sab
- only americans that didn't understand dance music could consider it a positivekingsteven

Dope track, i think one of the few liken to a Gil Scott Heron tune...
- his sound is so smoove. would even make a man pregnantjaylarson

- This album's building up to be a beastIanbolton
- SP tends to rub me up the wrong way with most of his tracks, but this is greatNairn
- ^ same, and same.section_014
- I saw him once live and a buddy and i described his sound as a music store in a tornado.
He's from a different planet; possibly Uranus.

- came to post thisernexbcn
- My mate was chatting with Fracture on Friday night at some night we were at hahaIanbolton
- And now Squarepusher's playing in Leeds. Jackpot!!Ianbolton
- amazing, also what a migraine looks likeprophetone
- Nairn6
- I've never done this (except sarcastically) but I've just upvoted my own post here.
How have I never heard this before?Nairn - It's from fucking 1983.
Nineteen. Eighty. Three.Nairn - There's a lot of good Japanese ambient music from this era.yuekit
- Definite strands of her work in Susumu Yokota's work, I now realise.Nairn
- lots of was commissioned by big corps - https://www.theguard…Fax_Benson
- I don't get the 1983 referencecanoe
- Two things, I guess - 1st: It's taken me nearly 4 decades to hear this; 2nd: it's got a timeless quality - I could as easily imagine this being a fresh release.Nairn
- CAN all over this; CAN did all this in 1968Krassy
- link pls?Nairn
- OK, misspoke. Actually CAN 1973: https://www.youtube.…Krassy
- Also Brian Eno 1980: https://www.youtube.…Krassy
- @krassy - thanks for that. 'Can' seems like an entirely different kind of trip for me, but a worthwhile one I'd not come across before, so thank you!Nairn
- Hang on, you have never heard Can? :-o midori takada okay, this is an old fav of mine but only got huge when it was reissued in 2016. Can are the greatest.kingsteven
- but yeah, they're nothing alike. Japanese minimalism is more comparable to 60's modern classical avant than kosmischekingsteven
- @kingsteven links to examples of "60's modern classical avant" pleaseKrassy
- Charles Ives -> Moondog -> John Cage -> Steve Reich, La Monte Young, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, Philip Glasskingsteven
- Can are a generation after... as inspired by beatles, hendrix, amon duul psychedelic rock as they were with the above. While there is amazing Japanese psychkingsteven
- Funny, I know all of those, and many from generations after, but Can themselves? Never 'eard of 'em.Nairn
- and fuzz from the same era I don't think there's a comparable Japanese band to Roxy, Can, Kraftwerk until YMO (i'd love to be proved wrong)kingsteven
- i always think with the exception of harry hosono and a few others, this 80s music skips a generation again and has it's roots in jazz, Japanese traditional,kingsteven
- American minimalism and the sound digital synthesisers. About as far from rock n' roll as you can get...kingsteven
- Heh sorry, got interrupted by a phone call half way through that :D The members of Can individually are all incredible too. You've heard of Jaki Liebezeit,kingsteven
- Holger Czukay, Irmin Schmidt, Damo Suzuki maybe? honestly you have hours of amazing music to listen to for the first time, i'm quite jealous.kingsteven
- '71 -> '78 in my Japan music knowledge is Isao Tomita, Flower Traveling Band and nothing between. Doing some homework and listening to Japan Blues NTS mixes hahkingsteven
- I wish I could +1 KingSteven's sidenotes.Nairn
- I've never done this (except sarcastically) but I've just upvoted my own post here.

- what a tuneIanbolton
- I never get tired of this guy. I saw him at a small place in NYC and was surprised how freeform it was. I didn't recognize much of anything but is was so great,CyBrainX
- I took dodgy footage last time he was live in London
https://www.youtube.…Gardener - 2007 7.1 Surround Sound party on a ship called A38, those few hours burned into my brain forever.sted
- ^^Oh hey, we might have been at the same gig, Gardener. I think I did the promo work on that one.Nairn
- it was one of the most stunning visual shows I've ever seen and I saw The Wall in 1980 lolGardener

Quixosis - experimental electronic music from Ecuador
- +utopian
- ++mort_
- Just because it's different doesn't make it experimental, use the term properly pleasecanoe
- That description is from his bandcamp.
Maybe you can message him and let him know.futurefood - You should definitely set him straight canoe. It’s a very important point and he’d appreciate being corrected.mort_
- It’s quite experimental from a production perspective. A friend of mine says Aphex isn’t experimental as it’s easily replicated - which is obviously bollocks.Ianbolton

- Thanks, although I'll be skipping the last song in future :)
What equipment did you use for the 'SW Radio'?detritus - ..i mean, i appreciate its being there and it put a smile on my face, but all the same, as a set :)detritus
- Until this, my 'NT' (/QBN) folder in Music was 5.5Gb and not updated since 2009 :(
I don't even know what most of the shit in there is any more.detritus - the station is test transmitting at mo, so I just took a bunch of discs in and an old radio and mucked about between tracks, sorry about the Rush - a poor jokeGardener
- So you're transmitting over a very short (ie legal) distance, then streaming the received radio over the internet, so you get the static?detritus
- no were a bona-fide station, I just choose the tunes I fancy and on that occasion took in an old wirelessGardener

- Mr Dwyer responsible for 4 of my top 10 albums of the last year and the band is tighter than ever. Can't wait to see them again.kingsteven
- The Bent Arcana record I think flew under the radar for some, it's a whole other thing but it is top notch https://www.youtube.…kingsteven
- This is greattrondlandvik
- Would be amazing to see them live. Their recent quarantine live set rocks:
https://www.youtube.…koma_ - yep, i've maybe seen them 5-6 times now (going back to family band days) but they somehow beat themselves as the best band i've ever seen every timekingsteven
