the person listening to music decides how to treat it "as is" - if any IDM track makes me feel like dancing, its function has been defined by me. How you get to a feeling of dancing via house music or IDM seems largely irrelevant to me, it's like assuming music has a universal function when it's up to the interpreter. kind of with late great here

i'm not articulating great here but i think music shouldn't be sorted into neat function categories

i'm a few martinis deep and i only skipped to the last few posts and read them before weighing in, because that's definitely the way a good ilxor operates
sorry, i really didn't mean anything at all about anything. i just saw something that i identified with (not being an expert on something but still feeling passionate about it) and was trying to sympathize in a really weird way
don't worry, i don't know if you're a dr, but you're not a dr of appreciating music in a Casual Way in the way that i described! haha
who wants a martini, basically

Maybe instead of calling it IDM we should call it "Chairgroove" or something like "Algorythmic Dance Music".
It's kind of a useless term because the original wave of artists changed a lot between ambient, breakdance, downtempo, noise sometimes even in the same record and they range from cyberpunk to pastoralism in their aesthetics. I don't see how AFX and BOC should be piled in the same collective.
That said if someone tries to describe me what the "IDM" sounds like I thinl of a spacey pad, a beat with fast transients that doesn't fit into the standard rhythmic pattern of other established electronic genres, and possibly an acid influenced synth line.

i associate braindance w/ a specific sound: aphex, ovuca, global goon, etc
drill and bass w/ floaty, fuzzy, wistful pads

That track, someone on Reddit claims it sounds more like Tycho than it does BoC (so... Tycho probably sounds a lot like early BoC)

Something about the filter in the drums sounds kind of generic for them, and the vinyl crackle effect also doesn't seem like something they'd do. But maybe that's why it wasn't released under their name. 50p on it being a very well done pastiche.
― Wegmüller Fruit Corner (Noel Emits), Sunday, 2 December 2018 18:45 (five years ago) link
the stuff it's being compared to - tycho, the twoism mailing list comps - they don't sound as much like boc to me as this does. certainly as many fakes as boc fans have heard i'd be inclined to go under the assumption that anything that sounds like boc isn't. all i can say is that it sounds like boc circa "music has the right to children" and it's a great listen.
