Re: Best IDM Album Of The Year

I think of idm as not only content but context, and neither fuck
buttons or Ellen allien fit any possibility of idm for me.

Fuck buttons is too indie rock electro sounding, and Ellen allien is a
mnml techno diva.

I don't need an album to have chaotic amen breaks and sine wave
cartoon melodies to be considered idm, but I honestly don't know any
notable idm this year aside maybe from William basinski, but that's
ambient material.

I don't think SOOL was even close to minimal techno.

Re: Awesomeness required!!!

Hey Cheyne..

Thank you for the length.. it helps.. i will try and make the rhythm parts
complex after it gets established and "cut that shit up" as you said..
Thanks again mate.. Happy new year..
