ICCT Hedral, Aphex Twin Papua New Guinea, Future Sound of London Secret Stair Pt. 1&2, U-Ziq Pretty much all tracks on Iaora Tahiti, Mouse On Mars Phlax, Jega Everything You Do Is a Balloon, Boards of Canada Slip, Autechre and on and on and on.... ..I chose these tracks because they are strongly melodic, most "IDM" is structured with melody, you will rarely find any music, unless it's avante garde, without melody. Alot of people hold the popular definition of melody, that melody = pop music or something like that. It comes from a general lack of musical knowedge, which is ok I guess, it's harmless in this case besides that it may cause some slight miscommunication. And might I remind you that for the most part the reason much "IDM" isn't highly popular is simply because it lacks lyrics. I can't imagine how popular Sean and Rob would be if they wrote lyrics and sang in their songs. Stupid people have a hard time accepting and/or understanding music without lyrics. I have a hard time understanding those people. I have two friends (more aquaintences) that listen to loads and loads of synth pop,.. I bring over my music and although they put on their fake smiles and grin and bear it.. they constantly disrespect the music I listen to, although unknowingly, purely and ONLY because it lacks lyrics. Stupid people make me very angry. -allen
