I suggest that anyone who wishes to intuitively research the roots of IDM listen to ALOT of Wendy Carlos. Wendy Carlos IS the original synth I feel that no IDM artist has yet even approached his/her level of arrangement. Thanks to the compositions of the great masters, it's the only synth music that can bring tears to my eyes... I feel all IDM composers of today can learn alot from his/her recordings. (Hey, the Boards of Canada admit they already do) P.S. stay away from "Switched on Bach 2000" [ WendyCarlos + MIDI = SUCK ] -Doug Douglas C. Smith €Analog Line : 617-718-9277 27 Gilman Terr.
