There was also Betty Boo, who did the music for another Bitmap Brothers game - Magic Pockets. Yeah, I know, she's not IDM, but I though she was pretty cool. Also Joi, a London sound system, did the music for the Chaos Engine (yet another bitmap brothers I think). And now, to show my age, who remembers the classic C64 tunes of the great Rob Hubbard? I think the monty mole ones were my favourites... Cheers Andrew C.
