I agree. The very term IDM causes hysterical laughter in my circle of
friends, especially when they realize what kind of music it is supposed to
describe. For someone to run around calling the type of music they listen
to 'Intelligent' is annoying enough, but to call it 'Dance' when it sounds
like MoM or autechre is proposterous. Cheers for bringing up the AI series,
since that's always been, for me, the best thing that came out of this whole
thing. It's something I'll compare other music to.
