Lastly, who's to say what is and isn't "Intelligent"? Sophistry. I know a lot of musicians in the scene, and they almost all hate this list for it's narrow-minded views. Let's broaden our view a bit... This is the IDM list. It's supposed to be single-minded. It's an internet list, not real-life. Personally, I don't think I'd be subscribed to this list if it was the "people talking about everything including electronic music." That thread doesn't really make sense here. It's may be an interesting discussion, but it really is way OT and OT topics are supposed to go off-list. I don't listen to a majority of the stuff on this list, but I do appreciate that it belongs here. There are a ton of albums that I love that don't get talked about here and I don't bring them up (some are even on Warp !!). I really don't resent this list for that. That would be just silly. Tell those scenesters to relax a bit, it's a nerdy internet list. ; )
