I need to do a presentation on (what-they-call) IDM. The
bulk of it will be explaining how crap the name is, but i
need some artists/tracks that are VERY early idm, like back
in the Mixmaster Morris days. Can anyone recommend some?
thank you

I have invented a new abbreviation to replace IDM. It's
UEEB, and it stands for Unlistenable Experimental Electronic
Bollocks.

Try early Speedy J (Ginger, Pepper), Black Dog (Bytes), The
Orb (you know the one), Orbital (Brown, Green), FSOL
(Cascade), Scanner (Scanner1,2), Spooky (Gargantuan)... I
guess when you go back far enough "IDM" becomes "techno" so
when do you start classing stuff as IDM?

the same beat and sounds the whole way through...

early aphex like Digeridoo, Analogue Bubblebath I

yeah, it was techno. from Chicago.... it began to mix with
chilled out, synth pop/new wave stuff and became 'IDM'

therre is no genre called idm - only a reaction to other
music a very consertvative and anal message baord type
thing set up to discuss the aphex twin primarily - autechre
aphex etc are a natural; extention of the things they
listened to ie techno - eg derrick may /drexcitya /kevin
saunderson / juan aitkins chicago acid and house - ie mr
fingers /trax records /bam bam etc new york house and
brooklyn music ie nu groove/muto and bones and todd terry ..
as well as the progression of this music thru drum and bass
, hardcore , garage etc + the further listening of more
academic musc and other types of music that use technology
... idm don't mean shit to anyone aprt from the people that
started that lweb list whenever it was back in the early
90's

techno - or the name techno ws coined in detroit - house and
acid started in chicago - instead of learning off this bunch
of amateurs why don't you do a goggle search around the
subject - you might even find some music you enjoy :)

no acid ws the sound coming from a tb 303 house music comes
from the name of a club in chicago - can't remeber the name
of it but it's got house in it innit - they're not really
separable genres cos acid and house were made and listened
to by the same groups of people at the same time and acid
and house trackswere released on the same records etc --
acidis just that 303 noise

not really cos it has no specific characteristics - it's
just what people chose to call a handful of groups in the
early ninetees and it's kinda stuck with those groups and
labels efc
