Totally dude, when artists do a
pseudo-Industrial/Prodigy tune like Come To Daddy,
"Intelligence" is the FIRST word that comes to mind.
Especially when you compare to his past gems.
Or when an artist does his most pretty much
straightforward almost hip hop tune, that's when I
think...hey it's "intelligent"
Got it :)

Both have done some of the best work, but they are not
the only good artists.

Most people I know think the term IDM is pretty weak.
Labelling everything "intelligent" is a pretty poor
way of describing music. How about using real
descriptions.

It's pretty hard when they aren't in the same room
with you. But they might have some virtual reality
programs soon.

There are SO MANY artists out there from experimental
noise to tons of other electronic sub-genres. You
just have to look and listen. Luckily most verey
record I have bought in the last year has been far
better than "Come To Daddy" & "Windowlicker".
OOps time ran out, going home. cheers
