here is some classic (and classy) aphex-esque idm (the artist was/is friends with richard (d) james, from what i have heard). all song on this album are great, and many (with a few drum-machine exceptions) show a great amount of effort splicing and juggling and destroying old funk loops. this album is a wonderful example of what some early english idm was like, and why it was so great :)
ok, i understand many of my readers have a strong aversion to anything by venetian snares (for some weird reason), which is why i haven't posted anything by him here yet, but i must say that this is quite different from snares' usual amen break slicing madness. harshly chopped samples from reggae music intersect with warm analog sounding synths and strange chanting to create a very unique sound that one would definitely not expect from aaron funk. a very enjoyable ep, whether or not you like funk's previous works.
some intense braindance from france (that rhymed!)
not as entirely loop focused as some other artists, doc colibri tends to use more drum machines and glitchy device sounds, along with samples from french media, to make his music. his tracks ("danse avec les nains" in particular) even involve him giving his own freakish take on the genre of dubstep. very much worth the download, which you can get/stream legally for free from over here!
igorrr's second feature here, this album has less death metal influences (though it still has the occasional growling voice), drawing more on the complex drum programming of braindance artists like the flashbulb and venetian snares, but throwing in classical elements and instruments as well. very different then the other album, but still very enjoyable!
crap, sorry i keep missing days, things are distracting >_<
anyways, today we've got a relatively popular glitch artist that most electronic music fans either love or hate (i tend to be the former). a mixture of glitchy digital noise, break beats rhythms, and occasional dance music influences, autechre somehow manages to be rather slow and minimalistic (a la steve reich, repeating shifting rhythms abound!) without becoming monotonous. i chose this album from their somewhat large discography because i found it the simplest to get into, because of its constant tempos, catchy basslines, and skeletal beats. listen for yourself... the repetition and shifting is rather infectious :)
this time with lots of electronic, drum and bass, and braindance influences, and a bit of apocalyptic themes too! this is actually 65days' second feature here on noise daily, so, uhh, neat :p
an ep based on another album by µ-Ziq called "lunatic harness", which is equally awesome (though not quite as happy). mostly drum and bass / breakcore with a few acid influences. very well polished and a few tracks that you wont be able to get out of your head (listen to the video below!)
i dunno this album maybe has THE BEST NAME EVER? and i am using caps, which is kinda a big deal. anyways, the music itself is a nice blend of breakcore and death metal, it's what the kids these days would call "totally hardcore, dudeeee".
