No idea if it counts as IDM, but Four Tet is lovely. Pause, Rounds, and Dialogue are all excellent albums too. Also the album, Rephlexions! is a great old compilation of Rephlex/IDM esque music.

ManoliIsFat posted:No see, that's exactly the thing. House is a real genre, and its got a bunch of related sub-genres. Same with dnb, liquid is not the same thing as darkstep, but they recognize a common lineage. IDM is a bunch of disparate stuff exceedingly more than house or a lot of other blanket terms are. I hate to be a cock about it, but its necessary inorder to really "get" any of this poo poo beyond a bunch of mp3s in a playlist. But what really is the need to "get" any of this poo poo? When you read "IDM Megathread" I bet you had a pretty solid idea in your mind about what was going to be contained in here - a mix of ambient, breakcore, illbient and braindance, with some glitch and randomness thrown in for good measure. It is possible to separate the releases mentioned, categorize them, and so on, but what purpose does it really aid? Both Aphex Twin and Autechre are good examples of this - they both make an array of music and thus are not easily categorized as artists. And don't get me wrong, I'm not some breakcore nut in here to start a fight. I've been trying to following IDM for as long as I've known about it; about 8 years, admittedly a small length of time in comparison to both the genre and other followers. insomne posted:I definitely see what you're saying and I agree with you 100%, but it'd be really, really boring to have a thread just discussing "illbient" or whatever you want...So why can't be all be friends and discuss both Kid606 and Boards of Canada! Noticed this as I was writing my post - my point exactly :-) Now let's get back to talking about some awesome music anyway!
