Yep. But most people don't really like it. Look at Autechre's "Confield"
cd. I find it very rich harmonically, and extremely diverse within each
song, but most people dismissed it as crap.
In my opinion, IDM is starting to pick up some people from the trance camp,
and the fans follow. Trance is all about loops and repeating, simple
melodies. I've heard plenty of people who say "oh yeah, I really like
Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin. Oh, and oakenfold!" This number has been
rising recently, so we're getting some overlap.
