My oldest IDM-record is probably Polygon Window (aka Aphex Twin) 'Surfing on
Sinewaves'
Warp 7, Artificial Intelligence series (that's probably where they got the name
IDM)
It sounds early nineties - well, it IS early nineties. It has single-layered
synths (not those complicated sounds of modern synths, but just one waveform)
and tr-303 or tr-909 drums. And there's this message on the back which is
typical for young labels like Warp in those days, it says: 'If you're on the
same wavelength, send you tapes to Warp'
Cute isn't it ;-)
