I think Ryoji Ikeda gets a lot of coverage for being very cold in his concepts while not being shit in his results. The two records I have of his (+- & Test Patterns) are build on 'concepts', which immediately gets him in with the 'high art' crowd (that is, people who go to galleries and the Barbican), it gets him in with the sound-art crowd, he's in with the Wire crowd, the ambient crowd, the IDM crowd... they're all variations on the same chin-stroker, but it's a fairly broad cross-section.

I've never really got Fennesz. It's ok, but never excited me (not that much 'electronica' does, in all honesty). I'd rather have Philip Jeck. Mmm. Jeck.

I'm pretty sure Rehberg said that Fennesz was Mego's biggest-selling artist in a relatively recent Wire article.

I'm going to use "variations on the same chin-stroker" as a song title now.

Interestingly enough, I saw Ryoji Ikeda at the Barbican, I went just to be sociable but the reason my friends wanted to go was because their art tutor had recommended it to them. It was an absolute bag of shite, and quite different to what i'd heard of his prior to that (+-), it was like a shit merzbow with a preachy film playing behind that was a message to the audience that they shouldn't support war and stuff.
There's a lesson to be learned here, and the lesson is that art tutors are mostly idiots who should be ignored.

The last LP Black Sea is significantly less good than any other Fennesz record. It's way to quiet and subdued, although still a nice listening experience.

Sigh... The dreaded "art crowd".

My friend goes to art school and his teacher always plays sun city girls in class.

Not that I think Fennesz has much or anything in common with Jeck. I just wanted to point out that I saw our favourite scruffy dansette record player puppeteer 3 times and he almost made me weep.

This isn't at all a question about Fennesz, but really a question about what "famous" means.

Like, "is this guy who sells albums in the tens of thousands and is on the cover of magazines that pander to obscure music fans and that 95% of the people on this board know of plus 77% like by any definition famous?"

Go ask Andy Warhol. Or better still, ask Valerie Solanas.

That's what I was thinking too. I always considered Bjork "famous", but I remember in like 2003 I was working at this cafe with a bunch of high schoolers, and I was like "oh I'm going to see Bjork this weekend" and they were all like "WHO?" So famaous? No? I don't know.

I would say Bjork is well-known, bt she could walk down the street in most any city in america and people are not going to botehr her, just some hipsters.

and for Fez(Fennesz), that fuck could walk around with a big sign pointing to him that reads "techno beats for cheap" and no one would give a fuck.

Rob, as an experiment It'd be awesome if YOU did that, and if anyone asked you about the sign just be like "I'm Fennesz" and then record their response.
