If this isn't IDM then where is the line? It sure isn't straight-ahead
dancefloor techo, or dub, or much less industrial dance. Just curious,
not confrontational.
As long as I'm at it, though...if you're looking for melodies with your
intelligent beats and abstractions, check out Cabaret Voltaire's
_Plasticity_. I doubt you'd go far wrong with _The Conversation_ either,
or Richard H. Kirk's _Virtual State_. The other Sandoz records are pretty
impressive as well.
Other suggestions, some of which may fall outside a strict definition of
IDM:
VSVN (Atom Heart) -- hard to find release on his own Rather Interesting
label, but worth the search. A couple other choices, two of which will be
equally hard to find: BASS, Silver Sound 60, Senor Coconut.
Jeff Mills, Purpose Maker and AXIS compilations -- highly experimental
Detroit-style techno for the dancefloor.
Coil, _Stolen and Contaminated Songs_ -- includes the magically polymetric
"Nasa Arab".
Many more of course.
