Without getting into the whole genre naming arguement -
stuff is listed under "techno" because despite the fact
that to people who know it represents a certain specific,
and limited sound different from jungle, house, trance, electro....
Its become a generic name/category for anything
electronic with a beat, at least for everyman.
Its uninformed and possibly backwards, but its definitely the case,
reguarless of the history of anything.
If i was on MP3.com honestly i'd try not to use "IDM"
because its also a very misleading label.
