Well I must agree sounds a bit inflammatory to me. I think the reason for
the term "Intelligent" in relation to this genre of music- and correct me if
I am wrong peeps - but in an effort to separate this music from the usual
crap you hear if you go into any mainstream club these days.
The problem is that you are left with placing all of the other music - that
could very well be great music but just fits into a different catagory, into
a contrary position. In other words if it isn't "Intelligent" then it must
be "Stupid".
Easy to see how someone could get offended.
