<snip information about IDM band called "IT">
Just an odd observation - I wonder why so many IDM bands steal their band
names from established industrial acts? I've noticed three+ so far within
the past year:
-Chaos A.D. (Squarepusher's project - there's an upstart industrial act
with this name - he might have used it first though)
-It (Side project of industrial band Nightmare Lodge on the Minus Habens
label - this "It" project actually is very IDM oriented though - dunno
about the other "IT")
-Klute (Side project of Leæther Strip, now appropriated by IDM act)
-Flexitone - The Pawn Shop Years LP (Don't know what this is, but there's a
similar IDM-esque side project of Atom Heart called "Flextone")
There are probably others, but these are just the ones I noticed. I came
to the idm front by way of industrial music so I happened to notice these.
I'm sure it's mere coincidence but it seems that every time I read about
IDM music I find another band "borrowing" a pre-established acts name.
