Why I am continuing to talk about Aphex Twin, i don't know? I started
listening to Aphex right when the Digeridoo first came out. I still
think that all of his earlier works are the best. Some of the Caustic
Window stuff is dodgy.

I think the RDJ is good, but not as good as alot of his older material.

Paradinas has always been hit and miss. 

Chris Jeffs hasn't released enough stuff to be considered a idm
godfather.

With Jenkinson, I was getting really sick of the drill n bass stuff. 
I am glad that he took a little departure from that.

Carl Craig is still one of the best IDM-ish artists around IMHO. I
wish he would put more stuff out.
