hmmm
If there's anything I look forward in this genre, I look forward to hearing
the next big IDM sound.

I hate to say this, but the entire aphex-MAS-v/vm-skam sounds and styles have
gotten on the stale side for me. Not that I don't like this kind of thing of
course! deep down inside I love it, but lets get some new blood pumping
through these veins.

Maybe more emphasis in melodies? Maybe less emphasis on brash aggressiveness
and distorted sounds in order to sound "experimental"? More acoustic sounds?
Maybe less blind experimentation and layering and more thought? Not that all
IDM bands are like this, but it sure seems that a lot of them slip perfectly
into this catagory.

Maybe this isn't what you were expecting for an "expectations" reply, but
these are  things I would like to see develop in this genre of music.

either that or I'm just getting old.
