I agree with the rap comment. What if (my favourite group) A Tribe Called Quest got some remixes? I.e. Scenario with much harder drums and some ambient tingling and chords? Now that would be intelligent dance music! ---Christian ---percf@notam.uio.no

Since this thread hasn't been kicked off the newsgroup, can we assume that "intelligent" hip-hop is to be included in the IDM universe? Wu-Tang Clan and Pharcyde can be discussed with (and compared to) Aphex Twin and PWOG? Should make for some v-e-r-y interesting discussions! -Phil Remember, home is where the stereo is!
