Like the dub Techno thread, thought it would be cool to have an IDM thread to collect ‘Nauts fave IDM tunes from over the years.
Obviously most folks are aware of Aphex and Autechre’s contributions here and those recommends are welcome, but any artists more unknown or underground would be great to share here, too.
I’m not sure if it’s the pandemic or just me, but I’ve been looking back and sort of being nostalgic a lot… it can be kinda hard to plan for the future in some ways right now.
And one thing that keeps coming up for me lately is IDM. I dunno if it’s just enough years distance from it… it’s weird to think some of the most iconic releases are coming up for 30 years old now. Something about the general form of the genre that’s really just so enjoyable.
Anyway, I’ll kick it off with one : Proem’s Socially Inept, just a stunning melodic and highly crafted album. Search it down on your preferred platform:
