i have a friend who listens to IDM (and DnB) all the time. although i enjoy it when he plays them for me, i never felt like listening to them at home...but when i was introduced to some other IDM music in this forum, from ppl who listen to psychedelic music, i changed my mind !
my taste of music is very similar to yours, so it would be the best way for me to find IDM artists that i like.
can't agree more with you about the name...IDM is a ridiculous name!!!!
