That's because the Microwave isn't a virtual analogue synth, it's a Wavesynth. The guy who designed the PPG Wavesynth had some input into the Microwave. It's a whole different synth altogether (no Police Squad jokes please) and it ain't trying to be a Moog modular. I see Big Briar are selling the ingeniously named 'Mooger Fooger', it's a filter designed by Bob Moog, folks. Poor old Bob - invented synthesisers, started out making huge modulars, then went to Mini-Moogs, now he's selling the *filters* from Mini-Moogs. Next he'll be selling resistors off the back of a lorry. "Coooome and get ya Moog resistors - that original Moog sound for only a meal and a cup of coffee". Jeremy.

Dig up the list charter (or info about the list) on Hyperreal, bub. It clearly states that it's not called IDM because the other stuff is stupid, it's just what it's called. If only more people would read the FAQ... Jeremy.
