    Idm is pretty mainstream nowadays. Back in the 90s if you said you listened to idm people would just stare, now at least a couple college kids and people in music know what you're talking about.

    Boards of canada and autechre are pretty fucking good IDM, so is Aphex twin.

    GROAN! i'd have to aggree with that. (i kind of thought that was what disco was before it got out of hand, back when it was first getting started and still creative. or bossa nova, going back to the 60s, which was as i understood at the time, the motivation for creating THAT).

    major sigh, oh well, some days you discouver something and somedays its the same circle you've been wandering in all day.

    for what its worth i have discovered a cool little place on the web, linked by one of the bands, i forget which one, linked from numina's website, well besides the $20 software sequencer that actually outputs to .wav format, which, ah with a few other things, the other things happening to be free, can then be edited and formatted mp3. ah but back to where i was going, there's an online mag called synth music direct. oh and the sequencer (which IS amazing for the price) is called FlexMusic.
