Oh well, some people can utilise the term/ concept of intelligence within the sphere of a particular music expression, some people can't. Simple isn't it? Ok let's explore this then, what does the word "intelligence" really say about music? Does intelligence=good? Or complexity? Or.... Does that mean music that isn't label "more intelligent" is lesser in any degree? Don't take it too seriously. Its a good release. Lets leave it at that eh? No let's explore this... it could be interesting. And that I'll know when I go to the store, I'll just ask for the "intelligent section". That way I can stay away from all of the icky non-intelligent stuff. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger.

Will, The whole reason why I'm not going to go further on this one involves a fraction of the whole debacle about the quality of this idm channel. The whole reason this list might have a tad of controversy surrounding it is that many see intelligence through different paradigms and these models give rise to different subjective interpretations of this music. We could explore this forever but not come to a single agreement. Most of us have an idea of what 'intelligent' music entails - and that often reflects most of the music explored and discussed. If we can all just grasp the concept that other opinions and interpretations of this music is equally as valid to to our own, then there may be a lot less misunderstandings, complaints, self-indulgence - and more musical related posts on this list.
