Keith Kenniff, known for his blissful work as Helios and Goldmund, has gone all IDM with this dig into some of his favourites of the genre. Don’t be fooled into thinking you’re about to lose sight of the gentle tones and melodies often associated with Keith’s work. He quotes, that these are some of his most influential tracks from the genre and there’s a reason for that…
These tracks are beautiful at the core and wrapped in Helios’ awesomeness, but with the extra oscillating beat and bleep, accentuating an otherwise familiar feeling you get from Keith and somehow attaining the always debated ‘IDM’ label. Anyone who’s ever been into IDM or electronica will relate to the tracklist Keith’s put up here, with some of my favourites including; Casino Vs Japan, Brothomstates, Arovane and Hermann & Kleine.
This is a prime example of when labelling by genre doesn’t matter. IDM it may be, quality music’s what it is.
