(bSANDERS threads the squiggling earthworm onto the brass hook at the end of his nylon line) Is the porpoise of intelligent dance music to give self-presumed intellectuals something to discuss? Or is the purpose to elevate the appreciation levels of the "proles on parade" (Buggles, 1980) Is intelligent dance music like animal crackers: Education that fulfills a basic food/sex/warmth drive simultaneously? Or is it like staring at a Paul Klee canvas, and trying to figure out what to marvel at. I think it's like the Paul Klee canvas, myself. Especially F.U.S.E. (which I love, though I'm not sure exactly why at times.) [Note: Paul Klee, to my knowledge, became famous for his extremely minimalistic abstract paintings that drew attention to the process of painting. Many of his canvasses are simply large areas of color, completely DEVOid of detail.] I wish I'd had an I.D.M. group twelve years ago in college. We didn't even have computers! I look forward to any responses. Barry Sanders bsanders@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu

You mean, not the wiggly worm? (303 fans unite!) ;)

Originally Fluid wanted to start a mailing list geared specifically towards Rephlex - and then a whole bumper crop of artists came out who were either doing things like the aphex twin, or taking elements of his style or attitude into other forms of dance music. There suddenly was a whole world of music that all became connected: ambient, trance, some hardcore, dub, etc. It felt appropriate that whatever mailing list focused on rephlex should also focus on these.

The term "intelligent" was used primarily because of Warp's "Artificial Intelligence" series - it just seemed like a good way to describe a sound while leaving plenty of room open for interpretation and invention. The focus should be on music that is more than just bounce-up-and-down music... but even that to a point is a matter of perception. Like all mailing lists, the topic of conversation is entirely up to the members. If you wanna talk about gabba, go ahead ;)
