Somebody was talking about rock bands remixing idm artists and vice versa -- while someone (can't remember) was saying that this often leads to bad versions of the original song, something better can arise from the idm/rock mix. The Flaming Lips are using more and more electronic instruments and talk about afx and uZiq in interviews (while it is not IDM, have a listen to their new album The Soft Bulletin which is simply AMAZING). While these names are not as actual as L'Usine or if.then.else, I think it's a nice way to start the transition. Does anybody know of any other non-cheesy, non-commercial groups that use electronic sounds but keep their original style? (I can only think of post-rock bands for the moment) Maybe Mogwai...never heard it though I'm in the mood to listen to more of this weird stuff... poussin frais === Sebastien Dalphond, B. Soft.
