Also check out Raymond Scott's "Soothing Sounds For Baby" Vol 1,2, & 3
Scott produced a lot of music for cartoons in the 30's & 40's but went on to
produce early synth music in the 50's.

I suggest that anyone who wishes to intuitively research the roots of IDM
listen to ALOT of Wendy Carlos.
Wendy Carlos IS the original synth
I feel that no IDM artist has yet even approached his/her level of
arrangement. Thanks to the compositions of the great masters, it's the only
synth music that can bring tears to my eyes...
I feel all IDM composers of today can learn alot from his/her recordings.
(Hey, the Boards of Canada admit they already do)
P.S. stay away from "Switched on Bach 2000" [ WendyCarlos + MIDI = SUCK ]
