i can't speak for anyone else on this list, but i ASSUME and *hope* most
(if not all of us) listen to more than just IDM.
personally, i definitely can't listen to one style of music all the time-
it gets tiring! i enjoy all types of music and have only recently (last
couple of years) begun listening to the likes of BOC, aphex, squarepusher,
oval, MOM, FSOL, etc, etc, etc. i'm the type that'll put on "feed me weird
things" next to stevie wonder, next to joni mitchell, next to john
coltrane, next to my bloody valentine, next to blackalicious, next to
shakti... you get the point. i think it is really important to have a wide
taste in music whether you are an IDM/hip-hop/indie/jazz/R&B/whatever head.
music doesn't evolve in a vacuum.
as for soul, i can feel a lot of the aforementioned artists, but after
listening to three oval cdees in a row (or any three cdees in a row for
that matter), i need to put something else on!
