lost IDM classics

Pub - Summer got reissued if you're interested.

Those unearthed 90s Being jams on Firecracker sounding pretty "classic" in a Detroit-y B12 / Black Dog / early Hawtin sort of way. Need to give it a proper listen.

This is really, really good.

Kinda cool

unrest. : rei harakami 1st album

that’s a cool album, I love “more elbow”!

nice record

my fave harakami production will always be

rei harakami is so cool, it's like IDM set in the Katamari Damacy universe

plus he did 2 albums with Akiko Yano

those yanokami records are great. i could maybe do with a few less covers (even tho they do put their own spin on it) but stuff like 瞳を閉じて is beautiful. i might listen to them more than the solo records by either artist? (this is probably weird)

Listening to MD - Between the Gaps and being reminded why this record was hyped up in my circles back in the day. Gorgeous album.

I have always felt that Bochum Welt's 90s stuff is woefully underappreciated. Everything he did on Rephlex is solid gold.

that was just reissued this year on central processing unit. love module 2 too, especially “radiopropulsive”.

that was great. so much Rephlex I have yet to check out.

discussed upthread but on the rephlex tip you should definitely check astrobotnia (aka ovuca / mr colundi aleksi perälä) if you haven't already

thanks, I did get that at the time, although looks like I never ripped it to my iTunes library.

Only ever seen it mentioned once - in Tom Ewing's top 100 singles of the 90s - but this remix is astonishing

He has a fair amount of obscure gems. His album with Mike P is excellent, and there's the two late 90s ambient albums on fax which feature some absolutely stellar DX-7 action.

non-obscure gems, too! i recently picked up "ginger" and "g spot" on cd (used). hadn't listened in decades, somehow remembered it as much more ... techno? in a luke slater vein or something. they're definitely not what i'd call "idm" but fit in nicely with the rest of the "artificial intelligence" crew. i particularly like the "world music" touches (sort of along the lines of what black dog or ken ishii were up to) and the "speedy j !ive" CD that came as a bonus w/ this particular edition of "g-spot"

i'd never heard that remix. i remember loving "public energy no. 1" when it came out, another one i haven't listened to in decades. i was really really into lfo's "advance" in 96/97 and can recall thinking that he'd clearly been influenced it, or trying to better it. i think at the time i had difficulty telling the difference between the uk electronic music press and what i imagined was a cohesive, global "intelligent techno" scene, so nowadays i'm a lot less likely to buy into the idea that this producer is reacting to that producer or w/e, but there's definite mark bell vibes in that remix!

Ginger is such a lovely album, have in rotation more than any of the other original AI albums

There was a shit four tet remix of this one IIRC.
