I've never been able to understand how some people can find some kind of link between shoegazing and IDM. The *only* band I think would qualify is Seefeel. Mike J. Brown writes:

There are many words I'd associate with Ride, early My Bloody Valentine, Moose, Pale Saints and Boo Radleys ("good", for example), but "tranciness" definitely isn't of them. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se
