I know I'll never fit in with the IDM crowd because whenever I see someone mention "BOC" I assume they bean Blue Oyster Cult.





I know BOC aren't really IDM but the IDM folks love them.

Of course, most IDM fandom is kind of the electronic music equivalent of Joe Satriani fans so it's not really a big loss.

Forgot the stars.

IDM, like Trip Hop, is an unfortunate semi-subgenre name that just happens to include some amazing music; besides BOC (I still read it as Blue Oyster Cvlt as well) Autechre, Aphex Twin, even KLF and Squarepusher/Ceephax Acid Crew are all linked to it in one way or another, just like Massive Attack, Portishead and even new stuff like FKA Twigs fall within that stupidest of all-semi-subgenres.

As for BOC itself, Music Has the Right to Children came out at exactly the right time for me, as it was when I was first experimenting Psilocybin and DMT and stuff, and Geogaddi is just a great album that sort of defies any genre classification, but I tried listening to their newer stuff and it's just OK at best, for me anyway.

(edit: Squarepusher's later stuff like 'red hot car' and not the early stuff which was basically the posterboy for the semi-subgenre)

imo...
The whole idea of genres in music in nonsense. I completely blank all that. Genre is a construct of, and for the benefit of music journalists and people who like to wank on about music, rather than actually make and listen to it.

If someone starts off deciding to make a track in a particular genre they are setting themselves up to fail to make something interesting. (Though obvs despite this many have suceeded this way)

Long-time BOC fan, really unironically enjoyed the hell out of this.
