Yeah its good


but that term puts down other styles of electronic music sort of, like everything else is "unintelligent"

thumbsdown for "IDM", not for the tunes.

Quote:

    A loaded term meant to distinguish electronic music of the '90s and later that's equally comfortable on the dancefloor as in the living room, IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) eventually acquired a good deal of negative publicity, not least among the legion of dance producers and fans whose exclusion from the community prompted the question of whether they produced stupid dance music.

In a September 1997 interview, Aphex Twin commented on the 'Intelligent Dance Music' label:

    I just think it's really funny to have terms like that. It's basically saying 'this is intelligent and everything else is stupid.' It's really nasty to everyone else's music. (laughs) It makes me laugh, things like that. I don't use names. I just say that I like something or I don't.
