I've noticed three+ so far within the past year:=20 -Chaos A.D. (Squarepusher's project - there's an upstart industrial act with this name - he might have used it first though) -It (Side project of industrial band Nightmare Lodge on the Minus Habens label - this "It" project actually is very IDM oriented though - dunno about the other "IT") -Klute (Side project of Le=E6ther Strip, now appropriated by IDM act) -Flexitone - The Pawn Shop Years LP (Don't know what this is, but there's a similar IDM-esque side project of Atom Heart called "Flextone") There are probably others, but these are just the ones I noticed. I came to the idm front by way of industrial music so I happened to notice these. I'm sure it's mere coincidence but it seems that every time I read about IDM music I find another band "borrowing" a pre-established acts name. (more useless information courtesy of) Mr. Tangent
