It's all predictable incentives to me. Distributor marketing will gladly hype up a game beyond reality. The game press will puff up anything pre-release knowing currying favor with the distributors will get them access to more exclusive events and info.

65daysofstatic is great, one of my old school post rock faves, glad they're getting more exposure even if they're more Electronica / IDM now.

Lyrics:

oh my god!

my bleeding heart bleeds blood for you, woah, woah

traveling down this lonely road, woah

facing my hurt, hurting my face, yeah yeah yeah

i chainsaw your face off, watching your brains rotting, kid
drain your veins raw, straining your esophagus

위하여, 음악에 미친 널 [we-hah-yeo, umage michin null]
위하여, 술잔에 비친 널 [we-hah-yeo suljane bichin null]
[translation: "cheers to you who are crazy for the music! / cheers to you who are reflected on the (wine) glass!"]

finding the truth
take it back
finding the truth
it's nothing
change
and tesselate
as we fight to the death

il mio amore è corrisposto

we all dance to the polka
for it is so fun
still dancing to the polka
with my accordion

love is everywhere
smoke is in the air

pick it up, pick it up!
oi! oi! oi! oi!
pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
oi! oi! oi! oi!

a to z, z, z
a to z, z, z
a to z

as we cross the open seas
twoards the call of war
our axes we'll free
guided by the hand of thor

yeah yeah yeah
and our love will never end

Squarepusher is anything but new.

He was pioneering what would soon become "electronica" when Trent was still pushing his hot-topic centric electronic angst rock.

Tom Jenkinson (aka Squarepusher) along with Aphex and Autechre, basically created IDM (which turned into "electronica" once stupid marketing losers in the US got hold of it) back in the early 90's. He's got a shitload of releases and is one of the most influential electronic musicians of all time.

And dont get me started on the shitstorm that is Daft Punk. First of all, they came well after underground electronic music was already a global phenomenon, and second, their special blend of stealing other ppls music and putting a weak house beat underneath is pure garbage by most music snobs standards. To even mention them in a thread about Squarepusher is sacrilege.

It reminds me of when people in the past used to ask me for good examples of electronic type music. I used to use The Fragile (two-disc album by NiN, if you don't have it do yourself a favor and get it) as an example for it (at the time Massive Attack was great as was Sneaker Pimps, but I was aiming for something U.S. centric), though I had to remind them that "The Fragile" was really a mix of rock and electronic. But, there are some tracks on "The Fragile" that ARE electronic(a). The track used for the very popular 300 trailer (you could say due to that track--if you haven't heard the song do yourself a favor and go listen now), "Just Like You Imagined" really helped showcase Trent Reznor's ability in electronic(a).
This was again proved when he won (with the great Atticus Ross as well) best musical score for The Social Network, which was essentially an entirely electronic album (Tron:Legacy of the same year included a soundtrack that was also electronic by the ever popular Daft Punk).
It's some of these past masters in this music category that you find this new generation of GOOD musical artists.

I see that this is an old post, but here is where I get a lot of my music (besides the aforementioned sites):

turntable.fm (USA or proxy only, sorry!)
hypem.com
various music blogs (playthissongloud.com, thissongissick.com <- these are better for more mainstream electronic artists) many subreddits:

Thanks for finding it!

I'm only about 50 star points away from creating my own channel, and I'm still torn between IDM, Techno, or Eletronica.

uggh!

I know this is a very old argument, but goddamn they used to make some beautiful music.

The last, hell, 7+ years (?) they've become so glitch/nonsense-heavy to the point where each track on a new album is just yet more fairly boring, unreckognizable, dsp wankery, that's hard to discern from any other track from the last four albums they've released.

Sure, they'll do a great live show once in a while where they will kick the walls down and freak the place out with heavy bass, dirty and funky beats and out-of-this world sound design. And they obviously do have a few solid tunes from the last decade, but for the most part ae has fallen off the IDM cliff. Sad, innit.
