Originally Fluid wanted to start a mailing list geared specifically towards
Rephlex - and then a whole bumper crop of artists came out who were either
doing things like the aphex twin, or taking elements of his style or attitude
into other forms of dance music. There suddenly was a whole world of music
that all became connected: ambient, trance, some hardcore, dub, etc. It felt
appropriate that whatever mailing list focused on rephlex should also focus
on these.

The term "intelligent" was used primarily because of Warp's "Artificial
Intelligence" series - it just seemed like a good way to describe a sound
while leaving plenty of room open for interpretation and invention. The
focus should be on music that is more than just bounce-up-and-down music...
but even that to a point is a matter of perception.
Like all mailing lists, the topic of conversation is entirely up to the
members. If you wanna talk about gabba, go ahead ;)
