Well, actually me & my friends have been using it for quite a while, especially before "idm" emerged. If you get the chance, try asking Cari "Shapechanger" Lekebusch what he would call his music and you'll see... Actually I think it describes my taste better than "idm", "intelligent" isn't very easy to define...and it certainly isn't _neutral_... "EDM" covers the whole range of dancemusic that I like, even back to electro... ...while I tend to associate "IDM" mostly with AI, AFX, FSOL and that bunch... ...and I _do_ listen to other stuff also Fredrik
