HEY IDM'ers, !!!! I need some good advice!!!!!!! I am in college. This semester I am taking a music course. The Prof has asked me to do a presentation on AMBIENT/IDM to the class (90 students). I know one song/track can't define 'our' music, but I don't believe the Prof will alot me the full class session, plenty of time to explain IDM. Preferebly, I wish I could have the whole class period to have talk about the history of AMBIENT/IDM while I play music to some graphical video on the screen. If any of you are familiar with the Brief History of AMbient Vol I-III's, this is where I have been inspired. I love the info in the CD packs and how the company ( Virgin I think ) does a chronological display of the music. From ENO/T.D./GONG to GRID/AMORPHOUS ANDROGYNOUS/ KILLING JOKE etc. Any help is appreciated! GIL videla@colorado.edu

That's a tough one. Well, for a more credible representation of Ambient, you have to introduce them to Eno, and his "Music For Airports/Films" & "Ambient" series for students to grasp the concept of what ambient music really is. No one track would stand out, but "skimming" the surface of the tracks should give them the basic idea. (I believe the sleeve notes on one of the above albums even "describes" what ambient music is & what it's supposed to do for the listener...) A Brief History of Ambient is ok, but (IMO) going to the roots makes it seem like you know what you're talking about. For IDM, nothing else will do except "A.I." It worked for me when I introduced it in a 1992 freshman english comp./essay/presentation, and is very easy to follow & understand. A brief overview of all the tracks should suffice, rather than singling out a single track. That would be unfair to IDM artists. Derek

As for your 'which track defines IDM' question - a list of all-time IDM greats was compiled a while back. The results are at: http://hyperreal.com/music/lists/idm/best_idm_tracks so pick and choose. I missed the poll so here's my suggestions: Underground Resistance : _Journey of the Dragons_ Mu-Ziq : _Phi*1700(u/v)_ OnNow: Round Two : _New Day_ || [CiM] || s.walley@uea.ac.uk || http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/~u9323899/
