Personally I hearken back with some fondness to the days when all was
simply called techno and IDM (or IDM-l) embraced styles more readily. Not
that subgenres and delineations aren't normal and good for descriptions and
not that there weren't some distinctions made even in the early 90s. It is
easy to get overwhelmed by the insulation of lists like this, though, and
forget that you have to be pretty much on the inside to acknowledge the
differences.
To back up Omar's recent thread, I DO find myself often digging back to the
93-96 period when the latest glitch doesn't enthrall me.
wistfully (and home, sick)
