Steve Reich : Music for 18 Musicians
                          Octet / Music for a large ensemble
                          Drumming
                          Variations for Strings / Variations For Mallet
instruments voice and Organ
                          Different Trains / Electric Counterpoint

All of the above are highly reccomended, their use of Counterpoint and
repetition have been highly influential on 'idm'.

Id also heartily reccomend 'John Wall - Fractuur' on Touch, this guy
samples
artists ranging from Ryoji Ikeda to John Cage, but in a very innovative
way, if
youre into touch/farmers manual/noise and fancy a bit of dark modern
classical
this is the horse for you.
