(idm) Not IDM in idm land.

We have recently experienced many threads describing what idm music people
on idm list like, prefer to listen, would take with them on desert isladn
and so on.
I have another question which furrows my mind. What other types, styles,
variations of music idm people like, listen, etc.
In other words I would propose to make top ten list of non idm music you
like. Or maybe just list of styles which gets on with idm in your hearts.

To start with (and maybe finish if none supports the idea) I propose my
lists of styles and artists on the subject:

Top non-idm 10 (no order):

1. Dub (Scorn, Bill Laswell),
2. Guitar (Praxis, Sol Invictus, Death Cube K),
3. Death metal (Napalm Death, My Dying Bride, Anathema),
4. Goa (Kox Box, Infinity Project)
5. Drum'n'bass (Animals on Wheels, Plug, Amon Tobin)
6. Jazz (Red Snapper, Funki Porchini)
7. Ambient (Brian Eno, Robert Rich, Lustmord, Rapoon)
8. Detroit (Holy Ghost, Christian Vogel, Neil Landstrumm)
9. Industrial (Ministry, Godflesh, Techno Animal)
10. Just Ninja (Irresistable Force, DJ Vadim, Neotropic, Coldcut)

Of course, I admit that idm style (and any styles) is very blurred at the
edges and my opinion on some non-idm artists may differ with yours.

I would really like to see what you all like.
