Man, I completely agree. In fact I'm coming to the conclusion recently that I don't
really like IDM or have grown not to like it in the last year or 2. I still think all
the key figures like Aphex, Autechre, Squarepusher and BOC make great music, but
there is so much derivative and unexceptional 2nd/3rd/etc. generation stuff out there
right now which just leaves me unimpressed and just simply bored. IDM seems really
stagnant to me at the moment and desperately in need of someone to kick it up its
arse. Man, we really need some new Autechre and Aphex records ! The sad thing is when
at the end of the year I try to come up with one of these top 10 lists and I have a
really hard time coming up with any records that I can say I really like. It was
especially hard this year and I'm a really active record buyer. I guess the problem
is me really. My tastes usually change pretty radically like every 3-4 years after
ingesting so much of one thing that it starts to make me sick. Or maybe it's just
information overload and getting desensitized. Too many labels/records and not enough
quality control.

One of the only IDM records I enjoyed in 2000 and even on this one the influences are
rather obvious.
You don't care...
