like greg, i've bounced back and forth between idm & industrial realms - greg, i thought i'd seen your name pop up on r.m.i... i appreciate both aggression (or at least a darkish emotions) and complexity. i ususally o.d. on one and then gravitate towards the other. ya know, listen to reprovisors over and over until i NEED to listen to last rights. however, when i find music that incorporates both aspects, i'm a satisfied customer. ae does this better than anyone i know & that's why they're the poop. rdj pulls it off sometimes, other times he's kinda wanky. 3ef is usually great, farmers manual (and matmos to a lesser extent) are interesting but they don't mean anything & therefore are more of a curiousity. most by the numbers industrial is just silly or iritating. haujobb & download are good middle grounds but there must be more... so, anyone out there got some good suggestions for "intelligent aggressive music"? i know most of the basics but would appreciate any I.A.M. suggestions. either beat oriented or not, vocal or not, it's all good to me. ethan btw, who's this david toop character? i've seen his name but i don't remember ever reading any reviews... > ---------- > From: sfwd productions[SMTP:xxxx@xxxxx.xxx] > Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 1998 1.55 AM > To: xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > Cc: xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx > Subject: Re: (idm) industrial <---> IDM > > > >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? > > > > Well, I'm in the first group.
