Beginner's Guide to IDM?
Start with some smart comps, and follow the threads that fire your synapses:
- Artificial Intelligence 1 + 2
- Ambient Dub 1,2,3,4
(U.K. Beyond releases)
- A.D. 1,2,3,4
(domestic U.S. Waveform release with much overlap of above)
- Artcore 1,2,3,4
- Platinum Breakz 1
- Torque (No U-Turn)
- Breakbeat Science 1+2
(yes, must include some jungle, sorry IDM purists)
- Dream Injection 1,2,3,4,5
(the K-Tel of IDM, very tasty selection of all the IDM faves)
- Objets d'Art 1/2 + 3
(pure dreamy rhythmic fun)
- 5 Years of Eye-Q
(this will get me booted from the list for sure - trance)
- Skampler
- The Knights Who Say Dot
- A Taste of Pork
(I resisted buying this for a long time as a vegetarian, but whited out the
title and changed it to "A Taste of Tempeh")
- any Ninja/Ntone comps:
- Flexistentialism (U.K.) etc.
- earthrise.ntone or earthrise.ninja on Shadow (U.S.)
That'll break the bank for a while...
Best,
