This is a list for discussion of electronic music of all types, with a focus on idm, experimental, ambient, industrial, noise... but we span into other genres on a regular basis.

this is a very established list (it's been around for 6 years), and thus has become a community with members that share a great wealth of musical expertise and are ready to answer questions, review cds, discuss whatever, etc. conversation is all over the place - from music to movies to books to politics to philosophy to whatever else we feel like talking about. we're all friends here, feel free to join us. we like new people. there is no censorship unless you're a spammer or massive troll. controversy is perfectly fine.

i promise we're on topic some of the time.

some keywords: Autechre, Boards of Canada, Plaid, Seefeel, Sonar, Bola, Haujobb, Numb, Imminent Starvation, Hrvatski, Panasonic, Download, v/vm, Scanner, Scar Tissue, PHYLR, Kid 606, DVOA, Main, Snog, Merzbow, SPK, SETI, Winterkalte, Tribes of Neurot, Not Breathing, merzbow, skinny puppy, air, snog, godspeed you black emperor, mogwai, skam, ant-zen, hands productions... while these bands should give you a sense of what is covered by the list, in general it is for anything and everything one might consider 'industrial', 'ambient', 'electronic', or 'experimental'. Note, discussion of major label bands (ie, eMpTyV fodder) will be discouraged.

If you consider yourself a music addict and have interests similiar to those listed above, then this list is for you.

note: spamming will result in swift death. your computer will eat you.
