it's nifty but hardly IDM. the techno stuff varies from horribly cheesy to
pretty decent. the atmospheric stuff is really nifty, mostly using
orchestral sounds in an obviously sampled way. i've been a dolby fan since
1982 so i may be a little biased.
the important thing to realize is that it is primarily designed to be the
soundtrack to the animation compilation "Gate To The Mind's Eye." i highly
recommend the video - the animation is awesome, top notch, mind bending
stuff. just be warned that at some points you'll want to turn the sound
down and put on something else to go along with it... (the last track is
especially bad... sounds like music from a football highlights program or
something.)
