Eh?!? Not at all. A classic. Heard it played out the other weekend at
some jazzy house club - proper IDM in the sense that it makes you want
to dance like an idiot. And its smooth and funky to nod to at home.

Its not strange at all. I won't listen to any 4/4 stuff that thunders
along at about 200BPM although I'm sure there are (somewhere...) some
gabber tracks that might border on the innovative or intelligent. The
Bjork vocal debate is different - its not whether vocals are 'good' or
not in IDM, its whether people like her very distinctive voice or not.
Horses for courses innit.
And again:

What master plan is this? Warp release the music they like (and, of
course, are keen to see each record they sell do well). End of story.
They didn't like it. They didn't release it.

Yup. I love _Not for Threes_ but it is over-produced and ultra-squeaky
clean, at times to the detriment of the music. Still a great album
though IMHO.
