Also, please don't rely too much on genre names in your arguement, most genres are extremely broad -for example, Cans Tago Mago (71) was a 'progressive-rock' record, as was Pink Floyd's Saucerful of Secrets record two or three years before, but this does not devalue Tago Mago's innovation, they sound totally different firstly, and the latter record of the same genre was just as if not more innovative.
So my point is it doesn't matter if there were IDM acts before BOC, or even shoegaze acts before MBV, their sound is totally ORIGINAL and innovative, find me an earlier record in either case that sounds similar and I'll eat my hat.
