Do we really need to be having the "IDM - genre or email list, good name
or bad name" discussion again? It seems so soon after the last one.
I much prefer the top 10 lists, with or without descriptions (google
still works for me, even if it's apparently broken for other people)
Also I'd like to add that if you use the words "Intelligent Dance Music"
over here in the States, you're likely to get the same reaction. And
also the term was likely started over there in the UK, considering its
early example labels (B12, BDP, GPR, Warp, ART).
And music is more intelligent if I listen to it.
