Thanks for the CiM heads-up, picked it up on bandcamp last night! Not listened properly yet but am a big fan of "Reference" so I'm looking forward to it.
(not IDM but) the new John Beltran also on the Delsin bandcamp sounded good too but I was running out of time to preview things.
Churchill/Desantis is a good vibe, thanks! And I remember checking out that Boulderdash album way back when but it's sounding better today than I remembered, plus I see that after not putting anything out between 2001-2016 there have been 5 new albums since, including one just a week ago, so I've got a lot to catch up on.

https://farmersmanual.bandcamp.com/album/11840-10-11-1
Buy the new (old) Farmers Manual for €1 and a new edit will be automatically generated - or possibly just automatically snipped out of a 90s recording - and added as a new track on the end, up to a total of 100 tracks (NB this stage seems to involve some manual intervention so I think there's already a backlog).
I assume 100 people were going to buy this whether I went in or not (who knows though!) but it's an interesting concept.

Those unearthed 90s Being jams on Firecracker sounding pretty "classic" in a Detroit-y B12 / Black Dog / early Hawtin sort of way. Need to give it a proper listen.

rei harakami is so cool, it's like IDM set in the Katamari Damacy universe
plus he did 2 albums with Akiko Yano
― frogbs, Saturday, 10 July 2021 01:45 (two years ago) link
those yanokami records are great. i could maybe do with a few less covers (even tho they do put their own spin on it) but stuff like 瞳を閉じて is beautiful. i might listen to them more than the solo records by either artist? (this is probably weird)

I have always felt that Bochum Welt's 90s stuff is woefully underappreciated. Everything he did on Rephlex is solid gold.

discussed upthread but on the rephlex tip you should definitely check astrobotnia (aka ovuca / mr colundi aleksi perälä) if you haven't already

thanks, I did get that at the time, although looks like I never ripped it to my iTunes library.

Only ever seen it mentioned once - in Tom Ewing's top 100 singles of the 90s - but this remix is astonishing

He has a fair amount of obscure gems. His album with Mike P is excellent, and there's the two late 90s ambient albums on fax which feature some absolutely stellar DX-7 action.

non-obscure gems, too! i recently picked up "ginger" and "g spot" on cd (used). hadn't listened in decades, somehow remembered it as much more ... techno? in a luke slater vein or something. they're definitely not what i'd call "idm" but fit in nicely with the rest of the "artificial intelligence" crew. i particularly like the "world music" touches (sort of along the lines of what black dog or ken ishii were up to) and the "speedy j !ive" CD that came as a bonus w/ this particular edition of "g-spot"
― the late great, Monday, 26 September 2022 19:41 (one year ago) link
i'd never heard that remix. i remember loving "public energy no. 1" when it came out, another one i haven't listened to in decades. i was really really into lfo's "advance" in 96/97 and can recall thinking that he'd clearly been influenced it, or trying to better it. i think at the time i had difficulty telling the difference between the uk electronic music press and what i imagined was a cohesive, global "intelligent techno" scene, so nowadays i'm a lot less likely to buy into the idea that this producer is reacting to that producer or w/e, but there's definite mark bell vibes in that remix!

Ginger is such a lovely album, have in rotation more than any of the other original AI albums
