Thanks for the heads up.
I don't think there's any other musical genre as open to questioning as IDM
! A kind of eternally questioning introspection.
That said, although no music comes from nowhere and Amon Tobin has never
been a "purist", I wouldn't rate "Long Stories" as "IDM". Organs,
Mellotron, rotary speakers, mallets, electric piano, modular bleeps, phasey
analog strings and so on : all these ingredients qualify it as an assertive
homage to progressive rock, closer to Pink Floyd than Warp Records in my
opinion.
Listening to this album didn't really move me, but the production level is
highly impressive. Amon Tobin has come a long way.
