Never say "intelligent dance music", just say "electronic music, you know, the kind they never play on the radio or in clubs." Or, "for me to like it, a LOT of transistors need to be involved." Or, "I like to listen to trippy electronic music." Or, "I can't describe what I listen to, but if you come over to my house I'll play some for you." I love DJ'ing at home for people who've never heard er, IDM. I turned my mother into a huge Orbital fan. She's a composer (a real composer, i.e. sit down with big sheets of staff paper and a pencil), and while she likes the dancier stuff, "The Box" completely knocked her out. People who like indie-rock, especially the more adventerous stuff like Tortoise and Stereolab, are good candidates for hard minimal stuff, like Rob Hood and Jeff Mills. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Stop thinking, and end your problems" -- Tao Te Ching Home Page, featuring Reagan on Black Velvet, the EMP Compilation CD, samples of my music, etc http://soli.inav.net/~kent/ Kent Williams kent@inav.net CADSI 2651 Crosspark Road Coralville IA 52241 (319) 338 6053 (home) (319) 626 6700 x 219 (work) (319) 626 3489 (fax)
