rightly so, in my opinion. Even if you envision IDM as a kind of anti-dance
music (and that would have to be a very narrow channel of it anyway), the
reliance on "dance" for such a definition is clear.

certainly incorporated house into their mix? Or, say, The Three Chairs,
Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Jackmate (aka Soulphiction/Michael Baumann), etc.?
What do you mean by "dead"? If dead, how do you account for acts like Metro
Area?

you want to consider Musique Concret and the various experimentalists
(Stockhausen, Cage, Ray Scott, etc.) as IDM, it has probably been around
longer. Actually, it all depends on where you stand - what you consider
"dance", what you even consider "music" as well as what you consider
"intelligent". I would be loathe to give a eulogy for any genre so quickly,
though. You might find your own threnody in that genre .
