oh harsh tokes my friend if you cant tell the
differrence between your vangelis and your IDM- I
think IDM is one of those broad terms applied to a
number of different styles of music kinda like the
blanket term"TECHNO" and then there are all kinds of
subterms like jungle, d'n b, etc... defining different
rythmic variations or styles.the interesting and great
thing about the new electronic stuff is that it's
unable to be pigionholed into catagories, because
there is so much variety and unique sounds out there.
I usually tell people i listen to strange electronic
stuff or uh like wierd um well listen to this... but
chances are if you are describing the music you listen
to as " electronic ambient flute music with whale
sounds, gregorian chant samples and native american
chants" you are listening to new age music. If you
cant really describe with words what you are listening
to its probly some where out there in the great vaste
IDM land...
