I amfraid I must diagree, whilst alot of acid jazz is not IDM, some is.
In an earlier post I about acid jazz, I mentioned Ninja-Tone/NTone. IMHO
this is IDM, if I did not think it was I wouldn't have posted. I will
atempt to back up my argument using the welcome message, which attempts
to define IDM (if that is at all possible)

Surely acid jazz meets this requirement.

I've spent many a skint saturday night/sunday morning sitting at home
listening to Coldcut's radio show, where they play alot of Ninja-tune
stuff and also a lot of more 'conventional' IDM stuff, smoking 'a big fat one'
I also listen to this music whilst driving and after clubbing.
