>So what are some good movies with idm soundtracks?
Someone else mentioned an Orbital track in Johnny Mnemonic, which reminded
me of the Michael Kamen/Orbital score for Event Horizon. It's a pity the
soundtrack album is out of print, because the Orbital bits were nicely
expanded upon, very atmospheric and moody.
Although not really IDM, the likes of Eraserhead and The Elephant Man
contain lots of industrial ambience and dissonant tones. Elsewhere,
Lynch's stuff gets close to an IDM aesthetic, albeit more from a Trent
Reznor & Rammstein angle. Lost Highway is particularly effective in this
regard.
The whole soundtrack to Blade Runner (not just the Vangelis score but
everything else) is an ambient noir masterpiece. You can pull the entire
2-hour soundtrack off the film, minus the visuals, and enjoy it as a
wonderful piece of sound design.
