Well, here's what the IDM site says:
"The Intelligent Dance Music mailing list was set up in August of
1993 by Brian Behlendorf and Alan Parry as a platform for the
discussion of a wave of what was termed "Intelligent Techno"
originating mainly from the UK."
I believe Artificial Intelligence 2 came out in 1994. So I guess the
phrase "intelligent techno" was around, but I'm pretty sure "IDM" was
coined by the list--can anyone back me up on this?
Greg, thanks for correcting me on "electronica." I wasn't aware of
its earlier use.
Regards,
Jacob
