yeah, i *love* Penguin Cafe Orchestra, especially the album
"Broadcasting From Home." the only even slightly tangential IDM
relationship i can think of is that Ryuichi Sakamoto co-wrote one of
the tracks on that disc! :)
and while we're on the subject of not-quite-IDM, may I heartily
suggest that y'all check out "(in pursuit of) Shashamane Land" by
African Head Charge... tribal rhythms mixed with reggaeish bass and
trippy guitar, and some mad mental percussion. One track actually
reaches dance floor tempo and I will *definitely* be including it on
my mix tapes in the future!
