i've talked to alot of people who have gotten to ambient/idm through industrial...my exposure to the likes of skinny puppy, download, and wumpscut through my roommate at school definately helped me ease into some of the harsher, more mechanic artists like Ae and Oval...however, it wasn't like i listened mainly to industrial and then came to idm, because i was never a big industrial-head and my tastes have usually been pretty eclectic (however, idm-styled acts have come to dominate my musical tastes, and many of my cds i bought before i was introduced to idm and other forms of electronic music haven't seen seen the laser beam in a long time) -brad ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: (idm) industrial <---> IDM Author: xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx (john r. jacobus) at INTERNET Date: 7/8/98 12:47 PM On Wed, 8 Jul 1998 10:27:34 -0400, "Bordeaux, Ethan" <xxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx> wrote: >ps - i've noticed a lot of folks that say their appreication of idm >grew >out of industrial music - does anyone feel like the opposite is true >(growing into industrial-oriented music from idm)? if so, what were >your transitional pieces?
