Actually, there's lots... it's especially popular among Detroit-affiliated
artists -- Jeff Mills is a particular fan of them. Check out his _Cycle 30_
and _Growth_ EP's, for example. There's also a couple of the X-10n records
from the UR days. As someone else already brought up, Canada's Legion of
Green Men are lock-groove enthusiasts as well, and the aforementioned locked
grooves on the Ectomorph record kick all kinds o' butt. And wasn't there one
on that first Jedi Knights EP? I know I'm blanking on some other pretty
prominent releases, but IDM lock grooves aren't as rare as you might think.
As I understand, the reason you don't see more of them is that the mastering
house has to be pretty competent to pull it off.
