actually, i learnt about IDM through NIN. on the downward spiral remix
album, Further Down the Spiral, track 7 (At The Heart Of It All) is by Aphex
Twin. i saw this name "Aphex Twin" in the linear notes, and decided i had to
have more music by him/her/them. so i purchased SAW2. i already had ambient
influences through Brian Eno and Robert Fripp, so i figured i'd like SAW2.
needless to say (though i'll still say it) i was hooked, and have been an
IDM fan since.

i'm very interested in the similarities and connections between industrial
music and idm. i wonder how many people have become aware of idm through
industrial. i, for one, became aware of idm through ambient. i remember my
first idm purchases: aphex twin - saw2, ae - amber, boc - music has the
right, and oval - diskont; all of which have respect by the
ambient/chill-out audience. i would think that most idm fans got interested
in idm through ambient and the more general electronic musics. (this is
excluding the old-school idmers, those who've been there since artificial
intelligence and earlier.) i wonder how many have become idm fans through
meat beat manifesto instead of the orb. comments?
as far as reznor goes, i can definitely identify elements in his music that
i can also identify in the work of many idm artists. i don't listen to
industrial music (i don't own any of the records), but i'm interested in it.
can anyone name a few artists/albums that blur the lines between idm and
industrial?
