Advantages: Intensive and very interesting Disadvantages: Usual disadvantages of distance learning
...Hi,
after my study of business administration (focus on marketing) in Germany and working in marketing for some years, I wanted to take part in some further education. The offers I found in Germany didn?t meet my expectations. So my previous boss who was English, proposed me a distance study at the IDM in England. For ½ a year I am now studying there and would like to share my experiences with you:
What and who is the IDM?
The IDM in Teddington is the leading international institution for Direct and Interactive Marketing. They offer different courses in marketing, communication and database ? both as distance learning or local in the institute. Both a short course or a long-term study. The IDM has a very good reputation and a degree gained with them is quite often expected in job advertisements for positions in direct marketing...
Advantages: composition, sonority Disadvantages: difficult to comprehend, musically
...British veteran producer and bass virtuoso Tom Jenkinson has been the reference for the IDM/Jazz/Electronica scene for the last fifteen years.
I'm listening to his new album Just a Souvenir which is available on Bleep while it's still hot, and it's mouth watering. Jenkinson keeps cranking out estimable drum machines and basslines, this time with a traditional distortion/rock twist in tracks like Tensor in Green and Planet Gear. It even sounds like there are some virtuous improv interludes between songs. Be wary, Squarepusher has always been highly technical and somewhat difficult to understand, so I don't recommend this to sensitive ears.
The attention given to quality of sound and composition is quite appealing. Squarepusher maintains his exceptionally high standards and competence, and puts out yet another imaginative album...
Advantages: Some brief moments. The cover art. Disadvantages: Complete lack of inspiration.
...Spokes.
Well, this is Plaid's 2003 album - Spokes.
Before you consider this electronica album, you have to ask yourself some basic questions:
- What kind of electronica do you reflect upon as being creative?
Are you an I.D.M maniac?
-or-
Do you like electronica that twists clichéd genres into fresh and innovative ways?
Plaid is, at best, a purist vision of the I.D.M scene.
I does not offer anything new; it overuses it's patterns constantly.
That being said, I do not want to hurt your feelings if you are an I.D.M purist, or even a fan of Radiohead, old-school techno, the Detroit-esque scene... ect.
If so, you might love this album.
Personally, I prefer their Double Figures (Warp Records, 2001) and Rest Proof Clockwork (Warp Records, 1999) albums. Those had some seriously good moments.
Spokes is 58 / 59 minutes...

Review of Spokes - Plaid
Advantages: Easy Listening. A Classic for I.D.M purists. Disadvantages: Bland forms of electronica. Nothing new. Repetitive.
...Rest Proof Clockwork was released in 1999, alongside it's companion Ep, the Plaid Peel Session.
It is a nice little upbeat electronica album; not as well crafted as Double Figures, not as eccentric as Not for Threes... but still a nice oldschool I.D.M release.
The album has a running time of 65 minutes approx. and this is spread out into 15 tracks. The cover art and inlay are by Kid Acne and the photography by Catherine Stevens.
The album opens with Shackbu, a pure hip-hop mood with snappy sounds and featuring scratching from Daddyaddy. It is as purist as ever, but I must admit that it manages to be ultra-catchy along the way. Shackbu acts as an introductive mix to the whole album, in a way.
Ralome is a beautiful track. It sounds like an homage to Tortoise, with deep velvety guitar by an obscure Benet (at least, he is credited...
Advantages: More mature than previous albums. Some magical moments. Disadvantages: Some horrendous moments.
...Plaid's finest.
Plaid have release a considerable amount of material under the Warp Records, between 1992 and our present time. Not all of it was good... unless you are, or were, an I.D.M purist; from the LFO era for instance.
Double Figures is, in my opinion, their best album.
You could say that it retains the cheesiness of Not for Threes and Rest Proof Clockwork, but at the same time, expands their repertoire of sounds and textures.
Most importantly, Ed and Andy stay true to their ideas, without entering the pompous and featureless territory of their latter work, the 2003 album by the name of Spokes (Warp Records).
Double Figures has a running time of 70 minutes approx. and features 19 tracks; a lot of material, in other words.
Eyen features a dreamlike electric guitar riff, surfacing from a noiseless patch of 10 seconds...
Advantages: Broad range of musical styles keeps album intresting Disadvantages: 2nd disc is a disappointing
...The problem with Squarepusher is always trying to catagorize his music, and this album is no exception. Everything from IDM, Drum & Bass and acid through to experimental electronica and jazz is covered. On that note, take caution, if you are purchasing this album because of tracks such as \"Come On My Selector\" from the album \"Big Loada\" this may not be for you.
While tracks like \"Hello Meow\", \"Planetarium\", \"Rotate Electroylte\" , \"Welcome to Europe\", \"Plotinus\" and \"The Modern Bass Guitar\" keep the complicated drums & structure of typical uptempo IDM tracks the remaining 6 tracks are alot more ambient. While this is a puls in one sense of adding more variety to the album it makes it a little difficult to get into the album, as the changes in style can be quite distracting.
This is not to take away from Mr...
Advantages: Unique, elegant, dreamlike Disadvantages: Tracks 2 and 10 are flawed
...Incunabula was the first album released by Autechre in 1993.
As an interesting side note, Incunabula means "swaddling clothes" in Latin.
Sean Booth and Robert Brown, a.k.a Autechre, are true masters of electronica. Much like Richard Devine, Mira Calix, Datach'i, Venetian Snares and Squarepusher, these guys expand the clichéd genres of I.D.M (Intelligent Dance Music) and electronica in general.
Incunabula is the first of 15 others works by Autechre.
It is a tremendously influential piece of work and most importantly, is the root and core to all other Autechre releases; as well as a key to unlocking their frame of mind.
Usually, you will find 3 kinds of Autechre fans:
- Those who prefer their first 7 works; Incunabula, Basscadet, Anti, Amber, Tri Repetae, Garbage and Anvil Vapre.
- Those who are mystified by Envane and Peel...
Advantages: Some great moments. Energetic. Madcap. Disadvantages: Not Squarepusher at his best.
...with the feel of a polished jazz sequence, with grubby beat punches and twig-thin drumming. Orthodox I.D.M ballet throws itself over the pulsations, providing evidence that I.D.M, if applied in an intelligent manner, can be rather powerful. This is followed by a plucked bass-lined section, funky as hell, tap-dancing alongside the ever-growing breakbeat sequences. Amazing.
Come on My Selector, B.L's 4th track, would latter inspire Chris Cunningham and give birth to a crazy video clip. This track is similar to Full Rinse, minus Mc. Twin Tub. Tom enjoys toying around with sliced rhythm segments, ascending and descending them in an almost comical manner. He also provides some serious funk queues with his bass.
The Body Builder (dressing gown mix) is an interesting Venetian Snares-like rhythm collage. It is interesting to see how this 1997...
Advantages: Beautiful, Intelligent, Abrasive, Mathematical Disadvantages: Almost perfect - a couple of tracks lack direction
.... Very neat.
The album kicks off with Musket Iron, a light-hearted pan-flute tune that could be closely compared to Lord of the Dance by artist Chris Clark (under Warp Records). The breakbeat featured here is dynamic - almost in league with Aaron Funk. You will find yourself whistling this tune.
In Silence is almost classical in composition, almost Squarepusher-like; except that it is dark, claustrophobic and more mature than most of the tracks on this album.
Drowner is where the real fun starts - It is pure magic. Basically this track combines balmy I.D.M and obscure gothic drones, toppled with subtle breakbeat. Here, everything is restrained and beautifully crafted, until it explodes into trance-like emissions and back into a harmonious cavern-type sound - melding unlike melodies into a perfect mould. Wonderful.
Then, we have...
Advantages: Original. Intelligent. A specific sound. Disadvantages: Track 10 is a bit dissapointing.
...almost sounds like a clichéd I.D.M score. But here, Autechre are not trying to expand sound, but rather use retro-keyboard sequences in a lively way. Slip has a sense of nostalgia about it; one of authenticity and classic I.D.M rooting.
Glitch uses close-fitting progression; simple technoid time signatures plus some kind of very well positioned metallic gongs. The atmosphere is so mysterious that it seems to combine human feeling with robotic frostiness. A great track.
Piezo is an expansion upon Glitch; in a way. It morphs from alien hip-hop, to dance-like mutations, to built-up ambient. All this takes place in a purely Autechre-ish fashion, in a wonderful soundscaping of vast echoing endlessness.
Nine is my favourite track. Shorter than others, it paints a deep space feel, with lush and dusty keyboard twinkling and processed vocals...
