Ahoy!
Ditto on the Books! Not IDM per se, but of interest to all who ought to be interested and are, and more. Understated, under-rated, nary a whiff of trendy, just pure wild fun and love of sound - flat out genius. All their records. Along with Kallikak Family, Animal Collective, and Six Organs of Admittance, some of the brightest (as in opposite of "dim") music this, and last, and the year before, or several...
IDM-wise, I'd have to tip the yarmulke to Monolake (again), Venetian Snares (again), Autechre (again), Amon Tobin (again), and on into the blurry pop fur lined automat of Dntel, Four Tet, Apparat, Solvent, Styrofoam, The Postal Service, Figurine, The Notwist, Hood, Lali Puna, Caribou, Minotaur Shock, Tarwater, etc, etc, etc. Lots of good, especially at the boundaries - hard to say "best" though.
