One of my favorite artists and favorite artist of many music lovers is Aphex Twin. He has basically created a genre of music that has been attempted by many, but not always pulled off well. Actually, it seems as though the many many artists who have attempted this genre, have destroyed it instead. The genre being IDM, which, to my understanding, Aphex Twin doesn’t care much for the term, means Intelligent Dance Music. IDM, though, could just be an attempt to explain a temporary phenomenon in the music world alike to Futurism. It’s so unique and possibly limited. My opinion is arguable and I don’t always agree with myself, rather try to understand what just happened.
I invite your thoughts. In the meantime, check out one of Aphex Twin’s videos. I also recommend, just because they hit more of the mainstream, “Windowlicker” and “On“. While your at it, check out “Flim“.
