No. Title Artist Length 1. "πr²" Clint Mansell 1:29 2. "P.E.T.R.O.L." Orbital 6:22 3. "Kalpol Introl" (The back cover incorrectly names track 3 as "Kalpol Intro".) Autechre 3:30 4. "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" Aphex Twin 6:02 5. "Watching Windows" (Ed Rush & Optical remix) Roni Size 6:35 6. "Angel" Massive Attack 6:10 7. "We Got the Gun" Clint Mansell 4:52 8. "No Man's Land" David Holmes 6:18 9. "Anthem" GusGus 4:52 10. "Drippy" Banco de Gaia 8:37 11. "Third from the Sun" Psilonaut 5:10 12. "A Low Frequency Inversion Field" Spacetime Continuum 6:58 13. "2πr" Clint Mansell 3:05

also, the movie is about mathematics, neural networks, and the occult. WHAT COULD BE MORE IDM?

Actually, 'The Thing' (1982) is probably a good shout for the idmz:

Everyone gets to don the North Face, it's set in a beautiful place out in the country, futuristic alien technology, bit of Chris Cunningham gore/horror in there... hell, there's even a giant cave. Toppest of lels all round, really.

Aside from films that have this style music on the soundtrack, these make the cut for me, a least visually:

 

The End of Time, a recent documentary I saw on netflix,

 

West of the Tracks, by Wang Bing.... although visually it's more 'industrial', these kinds of gigantic synthetic structures remind me of stuff I imagine while listening to AE, for instance

Stylistically, I'd have to say Tron Legacy. They really should have had Autechre do the soundtrack.

good selections thus far. My submission: Gattaca

 

  • everything is slick and minimal but also retro
  • there's a guy in a wheelchair
  • lots of OCD freaking out about details
  • protagonist is striving for a next to impossible dream as if the IDM man is right over his shoulder.
