Luca DalolioGUEST
You
HussainHOST
have to call that one IDM.
FaisalHOST
IDM.
FaisalHOST
IDM.
Max KadarGUEST
IDM.
Max KadarGUEST
I like that.
Max KadarGUEST
You know, I'm
Max KadarGUEST
That's
Bruce LordHOST
at that the least at the very least everybody involved in this was stoned and probably on god knows what else in addition to that um to your point about just you know how beautiful and complex and layered it is like you know this furnace comes out in 1995 the first actual lp uh by download if you're tracking along with kind of the larger puppy verse uh at the time Cyberactive and Doubting Thomas, those records have come out by that point.
Bruce LordHOST
But even with those in mind, I don't know that anybody was necessarily prepared for just how far out there, how dense, and just how much of a kind of a, whatever you want to say, psychedelic IDM mindfuck this record ends up being.
Bruce LordHOST
And I think it kind of becomes...
Bruce LordHOST
Sort of a bulwark or kind of a high watermark in terms of the type of general electronic experimentalism that Kevin Key becomes known for and becomes just as much, I think, a part of his legacy as like, oh, yeah, the skinny puppy guy for all of the years that have happened since then.
Alex KennedyHOST
But so much of it, especially for like the first three or four tracks, really kind of up until you get to like Mother's Son.
Alex KennedyHOST
feels so much broader than industrial.
Alex KennedyHOST
Like it has elements of, you know, what we were at that time calling, you know, IDM or brain dance.
Alex KennedyHOST
Um, it certainly has elements of dub.
Milan UyenoHOST
But, uh, yeah, it seems like, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they have a lot of stuff out right now, but I still have, like, one other release titled Portal Vision, but, yeah, it's really nice.
Milan UyenoHOST
A little bit more modern sound of, like, fun, uh, kind of, uh, This sort of, like, IDM sound, but it's very, like, still really nice.
Milan UyenoHOST
I love the variety on it.
Milan UyenoHOST
Highly recommend checking it out.
Barrie J DaviesHOST
So anyway, it was nice to be in the studio tonight.
Barrie J DaviesHOST
I've been listening to lots of Square Pressure tonight, the Dream Eaters I've been listening to, and more kind of IDM kind of stuff I've been listening to.
Barrie J DaviesHOST
And that's about it.
Barrie J DaviesHOST
But yeah, so I've been doing this process for...
GabeHOST
Given that the title track has a distinctly EP7-ish sound, but the other two tracks still sound to me like Confield outtakes.
DanHOST
And Joe says, I'm not sure how I'd rank in terms of a coherent release, but this really pads out their CV as absolute masters of frenetic, extremely complex digital IDM.
DanHOST
And I think gave them some breathing room to pursue other paths in the later 2000s since no one would be able to question their cred again.
GabeHOST
And finally, Jeff says, I struggled quite a bit with this EP with all the glitch and noise.
33 MINS LATER
GabeHOST
The beat, like I said, is kind of like settling and making more and more sense.
GabeHOST
The point where we even get this kind of like, you know, quite logical high hat.
GabeHOST
And you just be like, okay, a couple minutes, we're going to be in classic IDM territory.
GabeHOST
But then something goes very fucking wrong, you know, before we get there.
Marco Violet-VianelloGUEST
It's a bit like I was just telling you earlier, like the Virtual Dreams by Music From Memory.
Marco Violet-VianelloGUEST
Uh, the one and two, those are also great, like IDM, ambient.
Marco Violet-VianelloGUEST
Um, oh, I love this song.
Kit LockeyHOST
[laughs] Yeah, I thought I'd put something on.
MattHOST
And I remember, and I, I went back and listened to our episode 'cause I was like, "What is..." And it's like, and I remember going, "That's really pretentious." Intelligent dance music.
JoshHOST
Oh.
MattHOST
Or IDM.
JohnHOST
Oh, IDM.
JohnHOST
Yes.
JoshHOST
Yeah.
JoshHOST
[laughs]
MattHOST
Yep.
Dennis WalkerHOST
And for example, I also travel a lot internationally.
Dennis WalkerHOST
I was in Berlin and have a friend who's a bouncer at a club called Trezor there, which does a lot of like underground electronic and IDM, things like that.
Dennis WalkerHOST
they have a sister club in detroit but i got a proper like berlin club experience and anybody who's ever done that probably knows what i'm talking about and uh that's very different say that berlin club experience from what you might experience in some ways like where i grew up in san diego where maybe those clubs exist i don't know but uh it's a lot it's a different sort of venue where most music consumption happens it's maybe like more open air or, you know, the concerts I grew up going to were at the county fair or kind of downtown by the water.
Dennis WalkerHOST
Very different than like a all night party in a Berlin techno club.
speaker_0HOST
[electronic music] A lot of this is beat-driven, yet atmospheric, sample-heavy electronic music.
speaker_0HOST
You know, in the '90s people called it IDM.
speaker_0HOST
I guess everyone calls everything electronic-related EDM these days.
speaker_0HOST
I don't know.
Milan UyenoHOST
My name is Milan Yuenno, and you are tuned in to Mon Bailey, where we play experimental by and for everybody.
Milan UyenoHOST
And we've got a fun episode today, going back a little bit to that, um, uh, electronic sound, beginning with that classic nineties, uh, IDM sound, brain dance, whatever you wanna call it.
Milan UyenoHOST
Uh, we're getting into progressively weird stuff there with another incredible release by, uh, you know, la-- another massive track from one of the best, uh, uh, modern-day artists right now I can think of, but we'll get to that later.
Milan UyenoHOST
Uh, but what you just listened to there was the phenomenal track, "Ted," that was by the artist Clark out of the UK from their album Body Riddle, and it's also on their, uh, like, a separate EP just called Ted.
Milan UyenoHOST
Clark, uh, is phenomenal
Milan UyenoHOST
phenomenalAnd I think that, yeah, everyone should check this.
Milan UyenoHOST
This album should be recognized as like a classic of the IDM genre.
Milan UyenoHOST
And he's still putting out records to this day.
