Oh! How could I forget Zoat Aon - prob my favorite ambient artist.

Not heard of him/her/them. Where to start?

Not much to go through, just two excellent albums: http://www.discogs.com/artist/288806-Zo%C3%A4t-Aon

Ochre. Guy keeps producing ace stuff and some of his synths are unbelievable.

 

Wow that is seriously beautiful! Why haven't I heard of this guy before?

th'idiot is really phenomenal in proportion to the ratings that are to be found.

 

also trackermatte is super underrated except by me.

 

but i couldn't say who's the most underrated artist since i don't know all the artists nor how they are rated.

Punk pop - Therapy?

Definitely. Every time I talk about them, the response is "Therapy? are still going!?"

 

I wouldn't have thought Ochre originally, but the response in this thread leads me to think again, he definitely deserves wider recognition. I remember buying his first EP back in the day, thinking with that and the Global Goon remix he was going to be really big, then he never quite reached the stage he deserved...

Cex , Also Kid 606, Posthuman and Freeform

 

Also well agree on Max Tundra and Ochre

 

For guitar stuff Oceansize

For me, Luke Vibert.

 

have to disagree, i used to think he was amazing early on,in the wagon christ / plug days. the way he worked with his beats and stuff was really inspiring but now these days i think he is more overrated if anything just because he comes from cornwall and is mates with aphex. he's pretty much released the same album/ep with different samples in for the past however many years. Its all very nice and clean stuff but to me its all kinda lazy and formulaic

 

I still buy it all though in the hope of something new and imaginative.

come on luke!

Also I would like to state that Sunken Foal is also massively underrated. The EP he has on Bandcamp is AMAZING

Fuck yeah! He has 2 albums on bandcamp now, btw: countersunk.org

Both Friday Syndrome records are among my favourite albums ever.

team doyobi for sure in the electronic world

 

meat beat manifesto in the music world of the last 30 years.

 

autechre in all of music history -- belongs up there with beethoven

Also:

 

2562 / A Made Up Sound

 

Koushik - for all the love 4tet and Caribou get he deserves way more

 

T++ (and all his "Various" guises)

 

Fila Brazillia - anyone love these guys as much as I do?

 

Mouse on Mars - not underrated critically, but definitely so against the backdrop of the British isle idm pantheon here at watmm

T++ is a good call; I need to check what he's been up to lately, has been a while since I listened!

These guys are underrated in their respective genres/scenes for sure. Koushik literally put out Be With years before that beat scene / AS bumper music sound took off. Prefuse 73 is acclaimed but also underplayed compared to Flying Lotus.

 

T++ and Monolake are both underrated, Robert Henke is mentioned far less than he should be imo for his work with Ableton.

 

WATMM has been a place I've found a lot of underrated musicians and albums, or unsung "proto" releases of later fads and trends, like this for example:

Hey joshuatx you going to Plaid this week? Been a while since we had an IDM touring show, to my knowledge.

definitely Aphex Twin. he doesn't get enough love, especially on WATMM. anyone heard Drukqs?

Yeah, i thought it was quite good.
