IDM - does it still exist? What's good?
― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 21:39 (eighteen years ago) link
I think in the early- to mid-1990s it meant the bleepy Warp stuff, typified by all the Artificial Intelligence comp stuff. As the artists originally in that camp broadened their focus but still stayed away from well-defined genres their new work got labeled IDM as well. So you get Squarepusher's jazz noodling and drill n' bass, the Aphex industrial pisstake material like Come to Daddy, etc. Anyone who's latched onto these styles (mu-Ziq, Funkstorung, Venetian Snares, latter-day Warp stuff that is more chopped-up beats in a Prefuse/Jackson style) is now labelled IDM by... someone. The mid period was pretty much where it all turned away from the dancefloor. There's some sense of a revival of the early 90s school of things right now (tricky disco rerelease?) but I'm not sure it's from the current "idm crowd."
DJ Martian is right in that Grooves magazine is probably a good reference point.

yes I type 'erm' a lot. generally I don't worry about semantics and type as I think, sometimes too quickly and off the cuff. Sorry! often a little broken - ILM moves at a fast pace! I should try and correct my grammer a bit. it would be sensible, maybe in return you could try being not such a fucking pedant and loosen up a bit!!
SO glad I'm responsible for this thread. jeez.

Genre Name:IDMRoot GenreElectronica
Years1990-present
DescriptionIDM, or Intelligent Dance Music was a term first coined from an internet mailing list in the mid-90s to describe a style of Techno music that concentrates on experimentation and an emphasis on home-listening rather than the dancefloor.
Whilst many of it's detractors and fans criticise the term - the argument being that it is hard to dance to and it implies that other dance genres are "stupid" - the term IDM has stuck fast and is now widely recognised.
Probably the first true IDM music to be released were the Artificial Intelligence compilations from the early nineties on Warp Records. Taking the minimalist sounds of Detroit House and Sheffield "Bleep" Techno, the compilation featured the now legendary acts Black Dog, Speedy J and of course, Aphex Twin (under the alias of "Dice Man").
Throughout the early nineties, IDM became the soundtrack to every post-rave comedown - something to put on after a night of hard revelling. But rather than becoming mere chillout music to mong about to, artists like Andrew Wetherall, Richard D James and Autechre began experimenting with their equipment, trying to push their machines to the limit. In many cases artists would often completely rewire their synths and mixers in order to create even more outlandish sounds. Certain techniques such as "snare rushes" (the rapid triggering of a percussive noise) led to micro-genres like Drill'n'Bass and Glitch.
The scene climaxed around the early 00's, after which IDM had either splintered into so many different subgenres that it became lost in a sea of never-ending headuparsery. Geekinness took over where originality once was and Aphex Twin's disappointing yet long-awaited Druqks album heralded the death knell of IDM. The Warp record label all but stopped signing new electronic acts in favour of post-rock bands, while other labels floundered or faded away.
The development of better and better computer software and music hardware also meant that it was easy for producers to recreate a lot of the once inexecutable sounds of earlier pioneers, making these commonplace in other kinds of music from House to R'n'B, thus making IDM an increasingly out-dated genre.
IDM as we know it may be dead, but it was always seen by it's fans as the sound of the future and if this is true then they were correct. Many techniques and sounds which debuted on Autechre and Aphex albums can be heard in genres as diverse as Grime, Electro, Dancehall, Post-Rock, Noise and even in the charts today.
The genre continues in some form or another but very few artists and labels continue succesfully in making pure-IDM. Newer artists such as Khonnor, Digitonal and Venetian Snares prefer to add guitars, vocals, orchestras or elements from other genres to spice up this now defunct style. Veteran acts like Two Lone Swordsmen seem to have gone the same way.

doesn't every armand van helden album do this? concentrate on experimentation + home listening, relative to his 12" releases? so IDM is every dance album released on CD instead of 12"?
Probably the first true IDM music to be released were the Artificial Intelligence compilations from the early nineties on Warp Records.
the first "true IDM"?? before that it was all "fake IDM"?? WTF, unfortunate.
Throughout the early nineties, IDM became the soundtrack to every post-rave comedown - something to put on after a night of hard revelling.
so that's sueno latino, morcheeba, the verve, primal scream, etc...
But rather than becoming mere chillout music to mong about to
wait! but this is the same author who is recommending geogaddi and restproof clockwork?
trying to push their machines to the limit
worst cliche ever. what exactly does it mean? early chicago house, early jungle, early gabba, etc all have worse distortion / bigger hardware fuckery than pretty much every aphex / autechre album ever.
In many cases artists would often completely rewire their synths and mixers in order to create even more outlandish sounds
deeper and deeper into nonsense ...
Certain techniques such as "snare rushes" (the rapid triggering of a percussive noise) led to micro-genres like Drill'n'Bass and Glitch
OMG "richard d james album" invented jungle!
Geekinness took over where originality once was and Aphex Twin's disappointing yet long-awaited Druqks album heralded the death knell of IDM
haha ouch. who wrote this crap?? anyway, did anyone tell prefuse 73 that druqks killed IDM?
The development of better and better computer software and music hardware also meant that it was easy for producers to recreate a lot of the once inexecutable sounds of earlier pioneers
uh ... maybe we are talking about the analord series ripping off dj pierre? luke vibert's amen andrews / "acid house" albums? squarepusher's half-assedly aping teo macero? "rephlex presents grime"??
Many techniques and sounds which debuted on Autechre and Aphex albums can be heard in genres as diverse as Grime, Electro, Dancehall, Post-Rock, Noise and even in the charts today.
whereas the vice-versa can't?

according to most people on ILM, IDM is
the same as techno but with a little brian eno thrown in too.the same as jungle but with a little merzbow thrown in too.the same as electro but with a little ryuichi sakamoto thrown in too.the same as 2step but with a little cabarert voltaire thrown in too.
so how is my formulation any worse?
maybe you take some house, and throw in some disco, and throw in a little more, and throw in some emo-leaning new wave pop too, and suddenly it's no longer so acceptable to house DJs or house fans but suddenly it's so much more appealing to margin walkers (ie you know arthur russell but not rene+angela), to people who can't get over body music (same people who think japan's "ghosts" is better than animotion's "obsession"), to people who swing the big wood for meaningless phrases like "interesting textures" or "complex structures" or "well-developed songs".

Stefan Koopmanschap (Electronic Music World) attempts to assimilate the definition of "IDM," an acronym initially coined as a mailing list via Hyperreal.org in the early 90s.http://igloomag.com/doc.php?task=view&id=1155&category=features
― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 3 November 2005 12:21 (eighteen years ago) link
It would be just subtleties in the production really. I'm sure for instance I heard a Backstreet Boys song with glitch-beats at the end. I'm sure the experimentation in riddims during the height of dancehall in 2003 is similar to what the IDM producers were doing a little earlier - stuttering beats, syncopated rhythms etc.
― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:05 (eighteen years ago) link
Yeh but Electronica can be applied to Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Sneaker Pimps etc. At the end of the day, the term IDM has stuck and people (well people on the net) tend to know what you mean by IDM. People talk about "indie music" all the time, regardless of whether the band is on an independent record label or not. Anyway, IDM has become "snobby" music. A lot of producers these days do take themselves very seriously and their fans do laugh at so-called "stupid techno". It's not a good thing, but then I'd say "home-listening techno" isn't a very good term either because I listen to IDM on my walkman and I've even been to see it live. I don't see why people should be so offended by the term "intelligent techno", people know what to expect from this term.

I dunno, that's fine too but I still think "electronica" is better suited to describing a wide net of music, that tends to lean in the direction of the arrythmic-to-less-danceable, less 4/4 based, and more diffuse/freeform/experimental.

to me, idm basically starts with warp artificial intelligence thing, and, yes, originally i think that was basically 'home listening', 'armchair techno', marketed that way, at least. a lot of crossover with the ambient scene, but i guess somewhere between ambient and techno. this is what, 92-94/5ish? to me it then seemed that the squarepusher/aphex/mu-ziq thing then just became more popular and prominent than the black dog/b12 end of things, to such a point that idm basically meant "whatever aphex, squarepusher and paradinas are doing"
its arguable that from 96 on, with all the people that were coming in then, idm is a genre that sits outside dance music, and is parasitic on current dance trends at any time (not a criticism necessarily), so jungle, gabba, ragga, miami bass all coming into the mix, and moving away from that 'armchair techno' definition. (basically any number of punkrave type nights play bastardized takes on all those genres, then, increasingly, the 'real' stuff itself, which is why it sort of sits outside)
i dunno, basically i think idm is basically indie music with laptops, but, you know, theres nothing wrong with this!
