Where are they now?

Damien Rice?
Mylo?

The Return Of Mylo

Techno/New Beat pioneer Frank De Wulf: disappeared after 97. Where is he now?

As it happens, he woke up in 2010 too: http://frankdewulf.com/

Ah, thanks for that Mylo link. He's completely gone back to DJing, then? Pity. I liked that album of his.

What happened to all the 2nd-tier IDM dudes (Global Goon, Kid 606, Bochum Welt etc)?

Kid606 is quite active, released an album called Songs About Fucking Steve Albini last year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_About_Fucking_Steve_Albini

think Damien Rice still quietly releases albums for the local radio morning playlist tesco album christmas-present-for-your-mum buyer market

kid606 was 1.5th tier idm dude!

now that I think of it the only album I really remember is "Down With the Scene". I'd like to revisit this stuff but I have a feeling I'd hate it now.

I liked Global Goon a lot — used to play "Vatican Nitez" quite a bit.

are Comets on Fire done or just quietly hiatusing?

He's completely gone back to DJing, then? Pity. I

he was never a DJ

that is, he started DJing after people started playing his records, because he got offered money to do so, and by all accounts sucked balls at it

Kid606 is one of those artists who's album titles sounded so childishly stupid I never bothered to even try them. Looks like he's continuing the tradition.

But speaking of lesser known IDM artists, where is the Higher Intelligence Agency? He released a couple of nice, Warp-style albums in the early 90s, but since then he seems to have done only collabs with Pete Namlook and Biosphere, and even the latest of those was in 2000.

And what about Vapourspace/Mark Cage? I still occasionally play the Themes from Vapourspace album, it's pretty dope. Where is this guy now?

Bobby Bird, the guy from HIA, is now with Modulate, it's some kind of audiovisual thing: http://www.modulate.org.uk/

They have a DVD too - excerpts here http://www.cuttlefish.net/oscillate/headphone/h005.html

I think Howlin' Rain put an end to Comets on Fire

Bochum Welt doesn't seem to have released any new music for ages, but he has written an iPhone game for Thomas Dolby o_O: http://twitpic.com/3nrtg3

I thought Global Goon was another candidate for "reappeared in 2010" seeing as I heard of him doing something new for the first time in years recently, but apparently he had something out in 08 too.

Would like to know what happened to Mark Gage of Vapourspace too; he reappeared with the Mimi & Boyd album a few years back (2002, apparently) and did some press at that time so I was hoping for more material, but I haven't heard anything from him since.

Global Goon is playing the Bloc Weekender in March

I always thought you could tell how much dude is a child of the internet by the fact half his titles sound like ILX display names

Like Front242?

"Luke Vibert Can Kiss My Indie Punk Whiteboy Ass"

=(^ • ‿‿ • ^)=

not one of his betters albums

at that point i felt he was trolling us and burnt my copy of ...fucking jams...

... the only Kid 606 album I need

Yeah, after I posted my last comment I noticed the existence of this album, and ordered it on Amazon since you can get it dirt cheap. But 2002 is still a long time ago, it's sad if he's stopped releasing any music after that. Wasn't he some kind of a pioneer of the US rave scene?

You can tell how much of a child I am by the fact I find Kid 606's album titles amusing

kid606's more subdued music is great

the GQ On The EQ 10" is nice low key timestretch ambient

PS I Love You kinda like a DSP forerunner to Oneohtrix Point Never

way more interesting than the buffer overide hyper amen break stuff

What's Giorgio Moroder doing these days? Has he released any new music since 1992?

annabel lamb!

she always looked cool in the 80s but if i ever listened to her i forget what she sounded like. i still get her singles in sometimes.

how did she become a thing? where she at? is she married to someone from king crimson???
