yes, but i'd call it melodic braindance, not IDM. Mostly mid tempo stuff, some not, some electro tossed about, some beat fuckery, and "the shining". I like it, so I guess that's all that matters, eh?

alot of names have been mentioned alreaddy...but whit this list I confirm them.

(would be surprised if you dont know most of these)

-Acidburp

-Acrnym (verry similar to Venetian Snares so a bit more core-like,but more melodic)

-Aphex Twin - you prob. have alreaddy (quick selection of imo most melodic;To Cure A Weakling Child (Contour Regard),4,flim,Girl/Boy, and under AFX-Im self employed)

-Autechre -tracks- Flutter and Slip

-Automatic Tasty -track- your red coat (!)

-Bogdan Raczynski -album- Alright! (most tracks are happy-vibed and have typical Bogdan-breaks but more 4/4 than usual)

-Bochum Welt - tracks Paph and Greenwich (!)

-(Chris) Clark - (track) Shonny,or make shure to check first couple of albums,or all of them while youre at it.

-Cylob (2 or 3 last albums,good stuff ,nice melodies,happy sometimes)

-Candlestickmaker (closest thing to Wisp imo)

-Electracomplex (close to Candlestickmaker and Kallipolis,melodic drill'n bass/electronica)

-Frog Pocket (has softer but also harder stuff,has verry mucjh his own style, uses accoustic instruments,plays the violin when playing live)

-Gimmik -excellent electronica, smooth easy vibes

(is aka Abfhart Hinwil,is a collab,also excellent)

-Gareth Clarke (also nicely melodic with rather chaotic breaks)

-Human action network (aka The Flashbulb) -album- Welcome to Chicago.the acid anthology-(especcially the track - april acid 2 !) (also in A&D style)

-I am robot and proud - Verry sweet electronica with a small experimental touch,has verry easy/happy vibes.

-Kallipolis (check myspace,has couple of fine free releases,melodic Drill'n bass stuff, real good)

-Koolmorf Widesen (guy from italy,good breaks with good melody/mood)

-Kettel - make shure to check the album- Myam James Part 1 and My dogan.Extremely original.

-Kallipolis (melodic drill' n bass,has also more abstract melodic hiphop-tronica stuff)

-Mrs.Jynx - somehow similar to Iamrobotandproud, verry light and verry melodic electronica/IDM

-Ochre - imo similar with Gimmik, verry own style, not happy in particular, but interesting vibes who dont appear often in other music)

-Photophob (lots of releases, some real nice tracks here and there,a bit more in the IDM,electronica style)

-Pluxus -some stuff is rather happy, a bit more diversity in track on there overall releases.(try album "european onion")

-Sabrepulse (mostely breaks with nostalgic melodies,verry happyhardcore-like but with the amens) try Nintendokore EP and Chipbreak Wars.

-Squarepusher -tracks- Massif (Stay strong) and A Journey To Reedham (classics!)

-Synthamesk (melodic electronica/core)

-The Flashbulb -(verry melodic/nostalgic, as you prob. know alreaddy)

-The Tuss (aka Aphex Twin)

-Untrkmind

-Wisp -(verry melodic/nostalgic)

-Xploding Plastix -Track: One bullet fits all (real good stuff,accoustic melodic drill'n bass,theyre other tracks are more in the accoustic nu-jazz style)

He's that damn good though! He had a cracking tune on his myspace a few weeks ago, but he took it down! Bah! Hopefully he will release it soon.

Also check out http://themrecords.com/ pretty much everything released so far is pretty lovely, melodic music. :D

(I know you know this skip)

Wow, dude you should have asked about *GOOD* melodic IDM. Dozens of the artists listed in this thread are not worth listening to, IMHO. Obviously a comprehensive list of melodic IDM artists is somewhat interesting, but I guarantee you a large portion of them suck.

enlighten us wise one

dont listen to it all the time: Geomety by jega is melodik
