Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

“Has a compilation ever been more important to a genre/subgenre than this and No Wave? I'd say that IDM and the Artificial Intelligence Series by Warp Records would come close. I can't believe how lowly rated this album is. That is absolutely right. No Wave and No New York defined that whole thing.…”

A nice diverse compilation that not so much spawned as solidified the burgeoning IDM scene. Having tracks from a bunch of different artists actually alleviates what can be a common flaw in electronic music, where it gets too repetitive without and mechanical.

Also, that song Premonition is totally proto- modern EDM in sound, though a lot more interesting

Underrated early IDM compilation. Forward-thinking music.
