Funny how most idm-heads missed this one, agreed, or were afraid to
answer.
1993-1994. I agree totally. That was far and away idm's golden era. When
I look it at my collection my favorites are all from that era. (There are
couple favorites from that era that I didn't hear until 95-96.)

Orbital 2, Surfing on Sine Waves, Amber, all of u-ziq on Rephlex, Global
Communications two albums. Sheesh. It doesn't get any better.
I am very surprised to see how many people on this list got into idm
because of Tri Repetae. I still think it's Autechre's worst. Boring. To
point out an example, brap, a list member I respect highly, said this is
how he entered, and then a week or two ago said that he just heard his
first 808 State track from that split 7-inch with Jega. I mean, come on.
Word to the Golden Years.
