Of course, i'm not suggesting that there cannot be any crossover or
fusion. Take Squarepusher's recent stuff for example (except the obvious
tracks
on selection16) I would considder that jazz, not idm or anything else, and
while the melodies may not be improvised much, the drums certainly are.

I meant to say hiphop music not rap, but i'll quit splitting hairs.
