I know what you mean. I don't exclusively listen to IDM, although it
probably accounts for about 70% of stuff in my collection. All the
non-IDM stuff I'm into I've bought largely because it *sounds* good,
rather than for any meaningful lyrical content or song structure.
I always did prefer the female voice to the male voice, so most of my
non-IDM comes from female artists -- Cocteau Twins, Throwing Muses,
Belly, Tanya Donelly, Kristin Hersh, Drugstore Cowboy, Nut, Luscious
Jackson, Scheer, Hopper, Frente, etc. As far as male bands go, there's
Blur, Pavement, Radiohead, Delakota, Idlewild, Regular Fries, etc.
