Are there any good books / chapters of books / paragraphs of books which deal explicity with music from WAPCATZIQ-related artists?
hardoff

cheven
CAT is Rephlex.
hardoff

hardoff
really old, but the 'trance europe express' comps came with little booklets that have some interviews and info on each artist:

[www.discogs.com]

particularly, from memory: [www.discogs.com]
hardoff
This book on 'ambient' music has some bits about aphex

[www.amazon.co.uk]

good read anyway!

Sort of off subject, extras i.e notes / art you used to get with vinyl or cd booklets is it becoming more rarer ??? It's nice to have something to read or look at for a short while listening to ya new album.
hardoff
totally agree.


actually,. perry, fucking hell...you just gave me the most genius idea! thanks!
perrencecoriander

"IDM" is a fake genre and that's about all you need to know there Keith Chegwin

End of book
cheven
A fake genre it may be, but why are you here? My view is that some things worth writing about happened. At the very least, some music worth writing about happened.

IDM was a genre of music that lived briefly on Myspace, created by people who couldn't comprehend breakcore. Ciff Richards 'wired for sound' track was the catalyst that sparked the movement imo.
cheven
Soundmurderer's Wired For Sound is good.

I used the term "IDM" most in 1999~2001. It was "IDM" for people "in the know", "electronica" for people "less in the know", and "uh, it's like techno- kind of- but it's not... it's like, electronic music but for listening" to "everyone else".
hardoff
in da mix

I thought IDM was just music made by cool people so they can feel all big and get attention and make a buncha sales off people who just wanna look cool, and uh, dubstep or something.

think they're so cool, make me so mad
peace ♥
Dubstep is the new jazz?
hardoff
80's techno/electro is the new 50's rock

Mr Dictionary
hey charles i owe you an apology. danknugz just sucked so much that i'm paranoid any user is him.

he was just so off, ya know? he once emailed me a picture of his tramp stamp of "AFX ONLY ↓." i'm happy he's gone because i never responded how freaking creepy it was that he had my email address and wanted a response about it. i blocked him after that so maybe he did keep sending files.

i should post some of his tracks for you sometime, you'd have a laugh about it. it brings up images of mike p's son shitting on his dad's mpc in rebellion. just the worst music you'd ever heard.

anyway, if you had ever seen lazy and stupid posts or music he created you'd see why i'm over-reacting.

hope we can be friends. water under the bridge, eh?
hardoff
i love you danky charles heart
hardoff
i love you too mr dic heart
CharlesWatkins
you two guys crack me up, this whole time you have teamed up together thinking you're getting back at some dude from your past who trolled you so hard and so well, that you're still haunted by it. man i wish i could meet this guy sounds like a pretty cool dude.
hardoff
you're gonna make love to his hand tonight, don't worry. ;)
