"Looking For Ungerground Clubs"
Vaccine just sounds too NICE, a bit like the synth music they play in New Age shops....
yeah, big time.It goes off as well, in my limited experience.
well dubstep is splintering into at least 3 or 4 different directions at once, so it's certainly not going to all fit into a neat likkle bracket like "post-punk", which is a pretty specific combination of punk meets disco/funk.
Yeah definitely. Most of what I know about post punk comes from RIU&SA, but if taking in James Chance, Joy Division, Bow Wow Wow and Throbbing Gristle is 'solidifying it a bit' then it's pretty clearly not a particularly tightly defined concept...Thats a fairly simplistic definition of post-punk though isn't it? I don't think all the bands that we now associate with post punk were necessarily disco/funk influenced and post-punk is still a fairly contentious term despite Reynolds' book which has solidified it a bit. Wouldn't call it a 'neat little bracket'.
I think there probably are comparisons to be drawn between post punk and the post UK garage musics though in terms of shooting off in different directions. Its a sort of 'aftermath' period atm. 2009 has certainly been a much more interesting year than 2008 for me because of this I think.
There's a whole axis that's emerged in the last several years, coalescing to some extent out of and to some extent off the back of, the nuum .... postdubstep some call it (ugh) although it's also (as with Jam City) postgrime and post some other things too... but what it really is, this fuzzy region that's sort of blurring the edges of, overlapping and encroaching,the nuum... it's the nu-IDM, i think. (The give-away: Brainfeeder, which virtually is Braindance, as per RePhlex's slogan)(Hyperdub as the new RePhlex? Planet Mu as the bridge between RePhlex and Hyperdub?). But crucially it's IDM, reformed. IDM, with most, if not all, of the blindspots removed. IDM, if it actually was serious about the "dance" bit of Intelligent Dance Music. IDM, hip (acutely hip) to where the real energy centers are. IDM, with none of the parody-it snark/goofiness of drill'n'bass/squarepusher/kid606 (if anything, gone the other way and a wee bit too earnest and reverent).
I wonder if he's onto something

virtually all post-punk were influenced by the streamline of dance music rhythms, right? i mean even the experimentalist faction which took cues from improvised music like DNA used dance beats on their records.
