WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Can a heavy metal fan dig Ambient Electronica?

Posted over 3 years ago
Does anybody else here dig Autechre? I just *heart* their take on electronica, it's not too boomy or dance-y, they use more small sounds and clever layering, kind of itchy, background music instead of full-on rave-beats or digital slam/noise. As an official "old guy," I find that my musical genre-meter doesn't go into dance-music seizures when I hear them, it's more just purely sonic, so I end up listenin and not judging.I like to put it on late at night, super quiet in the background, like a bug crawling around on the inside of my brain sending Morse Code signals to all his buddies in all of your brains...

  1. Anna says Ofcourse. Most people like more than one types of music. I like indie rock & rap, as different as they may be :)

  2. Dale says Autechre make some groovy background music, I'd like to hear their music used in TV and movies more.

  3. mullytron says Of course; I was more being glib than serious. While I dig a lot of metal, a lot of it is also pure crap. My point is that the categories that the media conglomerates use to sell you product are often useless musically. We should strive to listen with our ears, and not our idea of "what I like."

  4. slantera says You can like whatever you want to. Just remember, most of the metal bands that we enjoy actually enjoy other genres of music other than their own. Trust me, you'd be surprised. :-)

  6. madrid spacestation spain says autechre is some great stuff, i like the albums untitled and amber. i hate the IDM label: intelligent dance music, psst, what the hell is that supposed to mean. and i certainly didn't think you could dance to autechre, no matter how smart you are
