Best IDM release ever?

I know I have done threads for VSnares, AFX and AE with
this title, but I am still interested in seeing what people
like best out of ALL idm music. What is your favorite IDM
album, ever? (Sorry for those who don't like the term IDM,
but that's just what seems to be used for this music!)

Mine would be: Autechre, Tri Repetae or Aphex Twin RDJ
album. Can't choose! :-)

A better question would be what's the most IDM record
ever made? The one that ticks each and every maldito cliche?

what is IDM ?

I just listened to Ochre-midummernice dream, and that record
is extremely "IDM". Hard to belive that it was released in
2004, because it sounds like Ochre threw together some
mid-90 releases from Warped, and mixed them in a blender.
Very outdated sound, but Ochre has nice melodic skills, so I
like it anyway.

I've never heard Ochre but I like the sound of blended early
Warp so I will seek it out.

Early Warp has some good music, like SAW1 and SAW2, but I
think they were best from 1997 onwards, because of Chiastic
Slide and Come to Daddy.

Confield and Draft 7.30 is the definition of IDM in my
eyes(ears).

This question is best answered by asking yourself, what IDM
release do you still listen to? And the answer to that would
be, MHTRTC.

ochre's ability with melody composition is unparalleled in
the genre, imo... Drink Malk, Ourcade, Mithrax (ochre rmx)
just to name a few - absolute genius.

he is a great musician.

Drukqs is the #1 because it shows all the aspects of IDM.

bassy though. Im not sure what "pure" idm would be.

aphex is not idm,autechre is not idm, squarepusher is not
idm, BoC is not idm,

'idm' specifically refers to artists who say their music is
IDM. i.e.: richard devine, phoenecia, etc.

aphex is more like funk than "idm", autechre are more like
herbie hancock or than they are like otto von schirach..etc
etc. squarepusher is more like miles davis or johnny
coltrane... etc.

and i say that in spite of the earlier post i made in this
thread saying cichlisuite was the best 'idm' album, because
it doesnt really sound like "idm" to me

ever.

i rememeber the first time i heard autechre.

my friend had made me a mixtape, most of the tracks were by
doubting thomas. but he had somehow come across autechre and
put on there vose in, pir, acroyear2, rae and laughing
qrter.

so yeah the first time i heard these songs it was like being
blasted full of fresh air and having the connections between
my ears and brain rewired. electronic music hasnt hit me
that hard since those few days.

IDM is better defined with single songs as opposed to a
single release.

Not too many of the releases are well rounded.

Song wise I'd say:

LFO- Butterslut
AE: V-proc
Aphex Twin: Windowlicker (and its remixes), Mangle11
Squarepusher: Amstrong Feck4

Well SP had Big Loada.. that was well rounded.

A guy told me once that Dillinger Escape Plan was IDM.
I laughed in his fucking face I did. And then downloaded a
few songs to check them out once more.

i don't think so, no

and it's pretty painfull to watch too. but nevermind. next
week it's the fattest beats, then the most complex rhythms
and finally the most beautiful melodies.
