if you were to compile a small list of 3 or 4 albums to recommend to someone to basically say "this is what IDM is" without including anything from the big names AFX AE Plaid/BlackDog BoC Squarepusher Mu-ziq what would your list look like? --

The two early "Artificial Intelligence" compilations on Warp pretty much inspired (or at least coincided with) the creation of this list: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Artificial-Intelligence/master/30010 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Artificial-Intelligence-II/master/21134 Brian On Mon, 23 Mar 2020, c.reider@vuzhmusic.com wrote:

Amorphous Androgynous - Tales Of Ephidrina aka Future Sound Of London Sorry for the late response but no one in the thread mentioned this album which I think is a must!!!Obviously FSOL is also considered Ambient but there's a fine line between the IDM & Ambient genres. Regardless I think their Amorphous Androgynous moniker is absolutely worth consideration for this topic. Enjoy if you havent heard this album from 1993. Its a classic!  Amorphous Androgynous | | | | | | | | | | | Amorphous Androgynous Explore releases from Amorphous Androgynous at Discogs.
