*bump* just saw this thread for the first time. another idm fan here, and i bet you're not surprised if i say that my favourites are autechre and boards of canada. i'm more into the emotional and melodic stuff so i like AE's early releases, such as incunabula and amber, the best. i also got a few plaid cd's but i'm still getting into them. i have to praise the band that's perhaps not been mentioned here as much as they should: future sound of london. their album dead cities is one of my all time favourites, very dark, intelligent and beautiful. definitely worth checking out. lifeforms is something totally different, slow and emotional ambient but a wonderful experience as well. orbital is another favourite and again something quite different. in sides contains some of the most beautiful tracks i've heard..
i'm also a big fan of psychedelic trance such as hallucinogen that was already mentioned here, and i think that genre would deserve its own thread.. but if you're at all interested, hallucinogen is the name you should start with.
