Argh. I don't mean to keep these banal, silly arguments going on, but I
must say that for me 'trance' and 'idm' are pretty inter-changeable. Alot
more so than 'ambient' and 'idm', and two of the artists you mentioned
above have alot more to do with ambient than trance. I listen to and make
many different styles of music, including (sacriledge) hardcore 200bpm
stuff, ambient, breaks, and trance. I'm sitting here listening to
Autechre's 'incunabula' album right now, and if you were to walk into the
room and ask me to describe it, i would say 'really _trancey_ music with
intricate structures.
Rising High's "Secret Life Of Trance 2" is an excellent, although not new,
trance comp. Artists on it include Sequential, Balil (BDP), Hearts of
Space, Dreamfish, and New London School of Electronics. Hey, isn't that
odd, alot of these names come up often on the 'intelligent dance music'
list. Fancy that!
