Whitehouse to Kode9 (and everything in between) Hi, As a regular lurker and occasional poster on dissensus, I was wondering if it would be possible to offer something in a professional capacity to the readers of dissensus? I'm working for HMV to recruit new users for a website they have...

My take on it is that I think that the either/or is in decline. This is a difference to the history of recorded music to date. But, perhaps what's happening is a widening of the either/or to one limited by time instead of by identification or cost. Why is plus/and in the accendace? Because...

OK, here's mine, which is kind of ironic given the thread. I Know all the references in LCD Soundsystem's Losing My Edge bar one... something about having all the Niagra records on German import. I assume this isn't the Lux Nigra IDM label so what is it?

I think both of them have a lot of cultural similarities even if they sound different . they're both overwhelmingly male musics, they are both obsessed with ideas of purity - of not selling it out or keeping it real and they both appealed to white suburban teens in the America. Lets not forget...

Iron & Wine Cat Power Kristin Hersh Something woozy and maudlin basically.

I would argue against that. In America throughout the nineties there was a progressive spirit that produced new innovative strains of rock - look at lo-fi, post-rock, the Elephant 6 guys, K Records, Kill Rock Stars to name but a few. There were individuals, labels and groups that did do new...

I can hear the noises it makes as it processes stuff if I have my stereo plugged in up too load - high pitched tones and flutters. But, not like that. Sound v. cool though.

I remember it getting quite a lot of props at the time but was more into Vladislav Delay so it felt like a commercial foil. When I heard it was getting re-released it was like, OK, makes sense because it's so much like stuff that followed afterwards. But because it happened in v. much isolation...

Do you know which is the best from the NFB for hearing the woozy soundscapes that influenced the IDM duo?

If it was a rock group... A few things spring to mind... Pavement with added technology Simple Neu like motorik stuff - but one 70 minute album structured like a DJ set Updated Young Marble Giants for the 21st century Something that sounded like a third lost Neutral Milk Hotel album Like ...

Oh go on then. I used to put all my mp3s on tape till a few years ago. Walkmans were/are dirt cheap for the nice really compact ones. Good design too.

Don't know any of them actually. The one that was head wreckingly brilliant for me was the M83 Run Into Flowers remix. The album is pretty cool too. Sounds like it took a long time with the hyperactive editing. Reminds me a bit of Jason Forrest (who is ace too).

It's v. good. Thursday afternoon and Neroli are tippy top too. My sister is training to be a massage therapist and wanted some non hippy windchimes background fare. I bought Thursday Afternoon for her which she said was perfect - as the sleeve notes say, music that is more like a painting than a...

I think the number of died in the wool indie kids is slowly declining. I certainly see younger people lacking the intense musical tribalism that seemed to much commoner in my youth, and there are cultural reports that back this up. However the few times in recent years I've been to an indie...
