Since we're deconstructing *what* IDM is, this may be way off the 
mark, but I've picked up a little gem in the dub/trance line - with a 
happy jolly jah-rasta style radiating red/green/gold cover featuring 
Aaafrika in egg-shape.

Titled All The World In An Egg it claims to be "a budget priced
introduction to Universal Egg" (dated 1996).  Is this a label of
note?  It runs to 69 mins and features, amongst others, Robert
Charlesworth, Jah Free, Bush Chemists, the Power Steppers,
The Tassilli Players, the Trancemasters etc. 

I've recently reviewed (with a thumbs down) Bill Laswell's Dub 
Meltdown - this here compilation out-grooves it many times over.
