here's a question i've been pondering for a long time. I've noticed that the term IDMer is used in a lot of posts to this list. I was just curious; what does it mean to be an idmer exactly? Is it just a term one can claim if one likes some [if not all] of the music mentioned on this list? I don't have a lot of money so while my meagre music collection does pay sincere homage to such IDM staples as Aphex Twin, Autechre, Plastikman, Mouse On Mars, blah blah blah, and so on, I tend to actually hear the more obscure stuff from my boy's (seemingly) weekly rekkid deliveries :) I can't buy a ton of music, tho i wish i could :(, but my boy has tons of IDM and i really dig just about everything he plays. When IDM-ish events crop up in Toronto we both go. Are we both IDMers? Or am i just a poseur and only he is an idmer 'cause he actually owns the music? I'm not trying to sound peevish, i'm just honestly curious. Thanks -- ========================================================== Words fail. n.
