Does it really matter? Does everything have to be broken up into some
little "label"? Isn't it suffice to say that it has a lot of electronic
music influences on it, and that it is one of the finest releases out right
now.

Labels are for shite journalists that are too lazy to describe the music. Or
people trying to sell you something.

I'm sure they have heard the term "Intelligent" in regards to electronic
music. I think they probably read the press just like most of us.
