IDM out of tune. How would Mike P / Aphex / Cylob to name but a few
"idm"
artists survive without the sound of detuned wobbly synths? Having had 
what some people may describe as a classically trained musical
background
the only thing I cannot appreciate is music that is patently out of tune
or time and it's not been done consciously and deliberately by the
artist
responsible.

Use your ears and decide for yourself. Nobody is going to convince me
that Luke Vibert is tone deaf - I don't know how that thread could have
started, especially with Luke consistently turning out stuff of the 
highest melodic calibre. If he's done something "out of tune" it's
probably
because it sounds good!
