Alright. I like Confield a lot, but to say it is very
rich "harmonically" I think is a bit misleading and I have a hunch that
even on whatever level it could be considered "harmonically rich", it
is not the way in which the original poster was seeking. I would
personally consider it more texturally rich. The original poster
(sorry I deleted the original email) was looking for something outside
the loopiness of most IDM. While I agree that there is a lot of
developement going on in the Confield tracks, its still very loopy
(evin if the loops are kinda constantly mutating). And in terms of
developing melodics (which is what I thought was what the original
poster was looking for), I don't think the basslines and occasional
melodies in Confield really jump too far from where they start at the
beginning of most tracks.
All that aside, I like Confield a lot and you should get it anyway.
As for IDM sort of stuff that is melodic and dynamic and all that...
nothing really jumps out at me right off. Squarepusher's Hard Normal
Daddy is very musical and the songs really go places. This might not
be what you are looking for but I have this Orchester 33 1/3 CD (a
Christian Fennesz project) that has a lot of IDM elements fused with a
whole bunch of live jazz musicians and I think there are some great
songs on there. Umm... sorry.. I'm at work and I don't have my stuff
in front of me so that's all I've got for now.
