I think idm artists should focus more on the music &
melody versus glitches, dsp, etc. I really feel that
most of the idm coming out pretty much all sounds the
same, so there's no reason for me to go out and buy
it.
I'd be more happy with Radiohead making more
electronic influenced tunes than 90% of the idm I
hear.
I think a lot of the idm artists are pretty weak
musically so they have to rely on tricks to make the
music less boring.
