maybe everyone knows this except for me, but i am dying of curiousity... where did the name Intelligent Dance Music come from? I personally wasnt even aware of the name until about 1 and 1/2 years ago, always called it 'abstract' or 'experimental' electronica or used less general titles... Anyway, the name kind of annoys me, its like saying "we are intelligent and you are not," but I do reluctantly end up using it, still though, who thought of this and can we please make up something else? Or is it too late? Was it a marketing gimmick? in other questions, has anyone heard of the kind of electronic music called 'hypno'? Maybe I am just really behind the times, but today was the second time I heard of this mysterious genre of music and was too intimidated by the sheer confidence of the person saying it, to ask. So what better place to do it then a 10000000000 person e-mail list? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
