I like it. The story of those Italian brothers listening in on launches gone wrong and the possibility of hushed up catastrophes always gave me the chills - and what really happened to Laika

Exactly! I like the mystery behind it and if we end up doing a Most IDM Thing 2011 album we should be able to interpret a lot of different things from it.

I also like the idea of the Chilean Miners rescue being quite IDM. I mean, lets face it, they were fucked. And yet somehow, they survived, and it most probably screwed them all up (I did start watching a documentary about it a few weeks ago). Would make a great compilation. Darkness, despair, rescue, light, IDM.

Some old favourites:

Girls and Robots in the Same Photograph

A watch that only you know how to read

Straandbeest

Stephen Hawking in Zero G

And the one I suggest every year that never gets very far:

Fossas!! (they're viciously carnivorous tree-dwelling mongooses that only live in madagascar.

Oh, and also DAVID FUCKING ATTENBOROUGH!
