It's insane that someone might not like Laswell or any of the groups you listed
above, yet still enjoy that rare beast known as "IDM"?

Perhaps you should look at that statement again. Personally I have very little
opinion on the matter, not knowing much of Laswell's music. Perhaps that
supports my point? I have what I'd consider a wide, healthy knowledge and
appreciation for e-music in many, many forms, but Laswell doesn't enter my
domain much. Is that saying something?
