Is Aphex Twin IDM? I believe that 99% of the mailing list would agree that he is. In fact, the list was originally set up specifically to talk about RDJ. Discussion of his records and videos seems dead fucking center on topic for the list. >Who gives a f**k about vocals and guitars ? I do. If the discussion is about vocals and guitar in deathmetal, it's not really appropriate here. If it is about the role of vocals and guitars in IDM, it's completely appropriate. >Who gives a f**k about Bjork ? I personally don't like her music all that much, but I believe that there is a reasonable argument that her new album has some IDM elements to it. You've given a list of topics you don't want discussed on here. These topics include IDM music, IDM videos, IDM cover artwork, and IDM (or potentially IDM) artists. Once we get rid of all that clutter, what DO you want people to talk about?
