Quite in a bizarre way, i think Adult would be close.
...
What i really think is: detroit techno follows the natural line of  
american black music evolution. Pure emotion, pure being there,  
soul thing.
What would be the IDM of the 60s, 70s, 80s? Maybe it was music for  
inteligent people at that time. Some friends of mine think that  
cybotron's clear is a stupid disposable low-minded track. They prefer  
aphex twin tracks. I think clear is brilliant. And I think aphex is  
brilliant too. Maybe IDM is label that people like to be associated  
with, more than a label to define sound itself. Like indie rock  
(released from major labels) nowadays. I don't see Detroit techno  
being IDM. But i can see detroit artists trying to follow the ways of  
the market - aware of that or not.

the only atmosphere you'll find on Ai records.

There is a distinct analogue, 'IDMish' tone in the music on that

techno. The emphasis on 'melancholy' rather than dark seems quite akin
to the 'classic' Detroit tone, as much as there is one (and of course

Also let me ask this: which Detroit-associated artist(s) do you think

Re: (313) Ai 2006

2006-03-21 Thread Kowalsky
The label quality, in my way of thinking, is intended to be applied  
to something tested, a comercial product, with an especific purpose.
Music itself is multi-purposal, if i can say this way. Is expression.  
Some people might like it, other might hate it.
If quality means it was music produced under the standarts of the  
best gear or best pure sound it's even worst. Creativity don't need  
the ideal technical enviroment to come out - everybody knows that.
And if quality means this music has quality comparing to other  
music that has no quality, the artist/producer is talking about his  
personal musical taste.
Well, in any of the situations above, quality means nothing. I would  
find useless to label any music i would produce as quality, once  
the music should speak for itself.

That's my own opinnion, of course. That's my way of thinking.
Sorry for some bad english. :)

According to the OED, quality is a noun only.

For a new meaning to be added to the OED, I think three instances in print of

I was referrring to the English spoken in the UK, Ai being a UK label.

you're thinking ergot (claviceps purpurpea), as in ergotism, the oldest 
recorded source of fungus poisoning. 

the active component are the ergot alkaloids, which are all derivatives of 
lysergic acid.  they are molecularly related to adrenaline, dopamine, and 
serotonin
ergometrine is used to control postpartum bleeding, while very small doses of 
ergotamine can be use to treat migranes.

heh, I work in a toxicology lab and just happen to have a paper on ergotism

i've listened the tracks in the bleep site. Some are good tracks, i
agree.
But i cannot agree with the words on the CD cover: quality

You're entitled to your own opinion of course Kowalsky, but if as you
say 'some are good tracks' how can you disagree with the (so-called)
title 'Quality Electronic Music'?!?

By the way, I say so-called title, because apparently 'Quality
Electronic Music' is not the official title.

Ah, well, whatever, I agree with the title/not title myself, although I
think the comp highlights only one side of Ai.

Some great tracks on there, highly recommended.

One of the more psychedelic picture discs I've seen for a while as well.

Yeah, I've never seen a picture disc that looked like that before, has
anyone else on this list?

 Yeah and just check out that vinyl! - not only is it a really tasty looking
 picture disc it has the unique-in-my-experience feature of being a practical
 picture disc; where normally it's hard to see where tracks start and finish
 on these on this one each track is a different colour or pattern!
