i agree, i often wondered where the term came from? if you read this lance,
let us know...
you can't dance to most of it, and i think most of the ppl into IDM aren't
dancers anyhow? if i am not seeing it live, and around here (cleveland)
there are no clubs that spin IDM...i mostly too enjoy listening to it @
home, on headphones sometimes too.
how about ILM? Intelligent Listening Music
i wonder if that'll stick
