Experimental artists? Remember which list you're on. :) I definitely agree
with what you're saying - I was quite astounded listening to Kraftwerk 2
recently - but I don't think it's the most in sync with what I see as
being "IDM". 

Later stuff has more of an electro, and, well, just programmed bent, which
is far more in line with what the bulk of stuff discussed on here is like.

Michael (I presume "experimental" is being used as a synonym for
"industrial in the 90s" :)
