Various Artists: In Depth Melodics


One of the cool things about the idmf netlabel, aside from releasing good compilations is that it is first and foremost a forum on IDM music and electronica music. The netlabel seems to be a secondary, but, as I just mentioned, releases good compilations. 


Though the album clocks in over an hour, the music here is quite varied for being IDM related (I am aware of how much some people hate the label of "IDM" for music classification but I see nothing wrong with it and will use it). While not every track will get you up and dancing, what you will get is an in depth feel for a variety of music containing melodic and electronic elements that combine in inspirational and balanced ways. If anything most of these songs will get your head nodding. 


As the title of the compilation suggests, the songs contain some melodic elements that are bound to please listeners; though sometimes the balance between the melody and electronic touches may seem a bit off due to the heaviness of the electronic elements. 


Overall, the album does a good job of blending the melodic with the electronic and gives the listener a favorable taste of what the forum and netlabel have to offer.
