2001 was a pretty epic year. it's not often that the three leading artists in their field release their magnum opuses in the same 12 months.

I guess 2001 is the 1997 of the 00's for IDM. There's a few things in here that aren't exactly IDM but were close enough and awesome enough for me to include.

 

Edit: SOrry for breaking the "one per year" rule, I just couldn't do it. There's loads of other good idm albums that didn't make it onto this list tho, so that justifies it (in my crazy mind)

Brandi B, props for the Matmos inclusions. stupid of me to not include Chance to Cut and Rose Has Teeth. Those two albums are phenomenal. I never got into Civil War as much and I sort of thought Supreme Balloon was a bit dry.
