OK, are you going to say that the end of 'neon lights' where they are jamming out is more 4/4 techno than idm? most people doing melodic IDM are going to cite them as an influence(I imagine). Another reply that i got to my kraftwerk recommendations was: why didn't I just buy a cheap casio and play the presets! I suspect that they were just trying to send me into a screaming fit, or something. Since many who enjoy idm also enjoy trip-hop and drum & bass I will recommend the finest albums of those two genres, respectively: wagonchrist - 'throbbing pouch' plug - 'drum&bass for papa' both done by one of Britain's national treasures - Luke Vibert Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
