I think the 7" is good, especially side A.

I think the 7" might be more representative of what "Microcontact" sounds
like. The "Cosmic Forces Of Mu" track is I think the most melodic and
idm-like track I've heard from him. The sounds are representative of what
he usually does, but not the melodic aspect.
He does different sorts of things and they tend to be pretty abstract and
non-stylistic so it's hard to say "this sounds like him and this doesn't".
His Electric Company remix on Tigerbeat6 was by far the best track on that
disc imo, and I think is more representative of what you'll find on
"Microcontact" than either of the 2 things you've heard.
Imo, Leafcutter John is not IDM, despite the fact that his records are on
Planet-Mu. What he does is a lot closer to "electroacoustic" music.
