The I in "IDM" has nothing to do with the intelligence of the list members,
but rather with some esoteric quality of the music discussed.
(Personally, I think the term "intelligent" dance music sucks, BUT
I'm glad to see that there's a forum for people to talk about
dance music at a deeper level than "ID this song please." Therefore, I
fully support the existence of this list.)
This whole vinyl versus CD thing is so old. It was fought over in
rec.audio back in the early to mid 80s. It was fought over in
rec.music.misc back in the late 80s. It was fought over in alt.rave,
ne-raves, sfraves, and god knows where else during the 90s.
Just give it a rest, ok?
Hey, I know, for fun lets go back and fight about is rap a valid musical
form! It would be at least as pointless.
