Is Aquarius representative? Because it's far too repetitive for me.
So Is Turquoise Hexagon. And Eagle in Your Mind. That is too bad because I liked it otherwise.

The tough thing is that most ambient artists (Schulze, BoC, all post-rock/ambient artists basically) develop about one theme per song. It's really better to look at it as one particular soundscape, because they seem to be fragments or ideas repeated to let the idea sink in. With BoC, though, the ideas are really f**king good, so the repitition is good or at least hardly noticable for me.

I feel ostracised all of a sudden. It's like just Alex and I that listen to prog in this room at the minute. 
And no, June, Animal Collective are not catchy. They're annoying.

I nearly always listen to music that is somehow tied to prog.
Occasionally I dabble into jazz, classic rock, or what not.
|
Well a lot of Henry Cow is minimalistic anti-rock. 
Plus I love Elton Dean. Best jazz ever.
|
Prog is an umbrella, and not really a definable "genre". Opeth, Henry Cow, and The Mars Volta are all infinitely different, for example.
I need some other Dean recordings.

Hm, I keep feeling that I've maybe gone as far as I want to go with 'prog' at the moment. Still getting into interesting, creative and 'progressive' music, but I'm not a huge fan of squeaky abstract avant stuff, and I'm having trouble finding guitar-keys-drum-bass epics that manage to square up to the writing standards I get from the classic stuff. Suppose I should check out more modern stuff, but so far I just haven't really heard that much of it I really get a kick out of. That, and I'm getting more interested in classical and pop (yeah, don't care, pop's awesome  ) at the moment. So, yeah, sure I'll be returning to the moar-prog-must-have-fold at some point, but I've got other priorities. Except RPI. That's long overdue. And Hammilldergraafgenerator are still pretty cool.

I thought they were more ambient. James, everything has to be on the internet, otherwise the system falls apart. |
IDM as a name is stupid and unhelpful. I'd rather just call Aphex Twin "drill/drum 'n' bass." I can easily recommend BT's "This Binary Universe" as a/the quintessential IDM album, though. It's in my top 10 albums for sure. Longish songs, all very good, nice ambient/drum 'n' bass mix, proggy time sigs (though how far that is unique in DnB is unknown...)

Also, Animal Collective are now the 169th item on my saved for later list, congratulations Pnoom. I will download it eventually because what I heard was very good for what it was. But right now I am listening to jazz, and I hate rock music.

Pnoom, come on now, stop being dumb about Ulver. You really should get Natten's Madrigal, I don't like heavy metal but I love that album. stonebeard, you said you were listening to IDM somewhere else. I like the idea of IDM, but I cannot stand the endless Amen Break template, so I only listen to Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares. Do you know of anyone else? Hahahaha, changing the date on my computer has let me keep the Ruckus MP3s past their supposed expiration date. I didn't think it would be that easy, I wish I had thought of that before I let it delete 30 gigs of the MP3s I had download earlier.
