New Proswell for pre-order! First in over a decade apparently.
https://schematicmusiccompany.bandcamp.com/album/gain
(I've only heard that one preview track but I'm excited so I thought I'd give it a plug. Hadn't realised Schematic was still putting stuff out, and looks like it's not all the hypertechnical glitch stuff of old if Proswell and Crash Course In Science are on there - any other recommendations from their bandcamp?)

Looks like there have only ever been three posts on ilm about Wauvenfold, none later than 2002, none more than a mention, so yeah, lost.

I asked String Theory / Thorny Tigers to put their 2002 ep Anhedonia up on Bandcamp, and they did. For Midwesterners who grew up on 90s alt-rock then found Warp Records:

Aw this is nice:
String Theory's 2002 Anhedonia EP CD/download available now on Bandcamp.
We found a box of Anhedonia CDs in a dark corner of the basement, and having seen some renewed interest in this album from the internet, we've made it available for purchase and download for the first time in many years.
2002 was an amazing time for Chicago's close-knit electronic/IDM scene. For a brief moment, before the bottom dropped out of the physical record industry, there was magic happening in Chicago every weekend. The epicenter was Bob and Ray-Rod's Monday night "Play" residency at Danny's. Weekend Records and Soap was the lemon-scented retail HQ and a magnetic hub for in-store performers from locals as well as artists from Detroit and Berlin. Pete Toalson and Tom Windish were bringing Warp and Rephlex artists to the Empty Bottle.
Anhedonia (crl002) was the second release from Chicago's much-too-briefly-extant Consumers Research and Development Label. We are still grateful to Geoffrey and Jodi for putting the effort and cash into documenting this wonderful moment in Chicago.
We hope you’ll take a moment to experience this document of a more optimistic time.

ilkae has his/their* entire discography at only $9.15 for Bandcamp Friday and is in a bad housing situation at present so any $$ will help out:

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.

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)

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!
