Well, for me, the "a virus with shoes" album and "tiny reminders" are about as classic as they get..

-edit- maybe not what you guys would call IDM, but

for me the term "IDM" is quite pretentious. It suggests white chin-stroking mid-30s men who would be scared of going to a club, but want to be cool whilst still listening to prog rock.

Anyway my choices in this "category"

Autechre - Draft 7.30 (get better with every Album)
Kid 606 - GQ on the EQ (gliltch noise brilliance)
SquarePusher - Go Plastic! (beat madness)
DJ Scud & Nomex - Total Destruction 7" (breakbeat/jungle/ragga/power electronics death mix)
Pansonic with Alan Vega - Endless (suicide and north european noise merchants - excellent!)

Teste 'Regions'
OST 'Basilar'
Ø 'Metri'
Hertsi 'Kohina'
Panasonic 'Kulma'
Venetian Snares 'Winter in the belly of a snake'
Matmos generally
anything by Lesser
the new Sagan CD
anything by Xanopticon
Merzbow 'Merzbeat' (pushing it, I know...)

I guess Robert Miles's Organic can pass as IDM. I love that album, i hope the next one will keep the progression.

Also..

Bola - Fyuti
Bola - Soup
Strepsil - 70 Minutes Of Badness
Jello - Voile

But that describes me exactly.

(Well, except I don't really care about being cool...)

I don't like the term IDM 'cause I used to get it confused, thinking it was Industrial Dance Music (which is actually EBM

).

hey I love classic IDM, especially Speedy J, autechre, Boards of Canada, Plaid etc, but I'm going to be devil's advocate and say that IDM is rapidly becoming the new trance - it's no longer innovative but has become stuck in a rut of endlessly rehashed insipid ambienty glitchy rubbish, and pumped out by 100 million laptop geeks.....

it's no wonder that some people reckon IDM stands for "inconceivably dull meanderings"!

*ducks*

So true... but there are still some people on the fringes who are really exploring. The mainstream of any genre gets tired pretty fast.
