Yeah I've heard ambient house for some downtempo material but I don't know if that's just a term that's been suggested. My big problem has been deciding what description Wolfgang Voight fall under. Konigsforst sure sounds like Ambient House to me. Some related stuff like Krisel 33/99 is at a downtempo house speed but without a pronounced beat. And I just picked up an absolutely beautiful Profan record which is more home listening house I guess. Subtle experiments with sounds and rhythms, highly recomended but I'm not quite sure it qualifys as IDM. Rich __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
