(idm) Low

Low are a perfect study in clean production, understatement and
just fucking rule. Yes, there are other music(s) spoken of here from time
to time
on the idm list.  Will Samuels  also posts *plenty* on this list and is
always knowledgeable and cool headed. His veering into the post rock end is
welcome by me and I'm sure, plenty of listers.  He's intelligent, maybe he
dances (!) and he is a music lover: idm

I'll also recommend Kranky as a label.  The Low remixes CD was a start to
what could be a great continuing series. Imagine if Kranky were to get
further into the elctronic realm. Dream.......

Variety is the spice of life, enjoy your meal.

np: Gruntsplatter/ Slowvent split

ok ok ok....more idm relevant.  I went to SF last week and made the
inevitable trip to the legendary Amoeba.  I saw a few things that I thought
maybe I could get some tips on.  This is not a joke.....

1. a Throbbing Gristle "covers" CD, as RAP songs?!!!!!!!!!!!???????
seriously...on Record Label records????!!!!
2. The same , but for Coil?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
3. I was told last week that several groups in the black metal scene were
getting into *digital black metal* which incorporates the usual grind with
dsp and digital
wreckery. But who are the artists? No, I'm not looking for an ethics in
music flame; I really want to know!

Woohoo.  Rock n roll.  I take it from some of the messages flying through
here that there are quite a few post-rock fans?  That's cool.  It's just
that this is the IDM list.

If youre looking for an IDM connection...Porter Ricks,
Neotropic, and some other electronic artists have
remixed Low. So the band Low and the Kranky label
shouldn't be unfamiliar to most on IDM
