hi, (sorry if this appears twice, I may have posted to the wrong address) IDM is a description not a genre. :) It's more about what it's not than what it is. That leaves a lot of options. Genres are silly at this point but they make conversations about music shorter. You have to call it something... if I say, "it's electronic, you can dance to it but it's not just a four-beat, there are ambient sounds and noises but also melodies, we use vocoding a lot on the tracks with vocals, there are some drum and bass beats but also some slower beats..." this is only for people who know what I'm talking about already, you know? note **please visit http://www.melange.org if you'd like to see melange tonight (friday 6/30/00) and you can make it to New York City.
