Derrick May = IDM? Such bullshit.
When May started doing his thing in the late eighties there was no such
thing as fucking IDM. It was techno, and people jacked hard to it at
parties, and still do. It is still techno, which is attitude just as much a
musical genre. Just because it is superb music and not hardcore gabba does
not now make it "intelligent".
You are taking the music out of context and placing it in a late nineties
setting ... invalid parameter.
Someone please back me up on this!! >>
Read what I said.
I said it was intelligent dance music. Literal definition of words.
I went out of my way to say it was not related to current stuff.
