Sometimes the 'intelligent' adjective is used to describe music with a
quality of "ambient" music. Try listening to intelligent jungle,
"intelligent jungle." etc.. You will find a lot of them have light
soundscapes of flowing synthpads and melodies. The house variant is "Chill
House" and although being more jazz oriented than ambient (in all what
i've heard) it still is basically similar.. There's some intelligent
jungle which is very jazz oriented.. Either way, chill house rules :)

I don't think LTJ Bukem is technically superior to anything :) What I've
heard from GLR/LTJ Bukem is not less dancefloor oriented, or it
wouldn't have a bunch of loops and strong breaks, but it does have an
ambientish/light quality to it.
I personally prefer stuff like Omni Trio's Byte Size Life LP and GLR
stuff to Aphrodite and Panacea stuff anyday :)
