Amorphous Androgynous - Tales Of Ephidrina aka Future Sound Of London Sorry for the late response but no one in the thread mentioned this album which I think is a must!!!Obviously FSOL is also considered Ambient but there's a fine line between the IDM & Ambient genres. Regardless I think their Amorphous Androgynous moniker is absolutely worth consideration for this topic. Enjoy if you havent heard this album from 1993. Its a classic!  Amorphous Androgynous | | | | | | | | | | | Amorphous Androgynous Explore releases from Amorphous Androgynous at Discogs.
