Yes, the subject line was a joke obviously.
Good point about the Vibert singles being jungle. I run an "IDM" webcast and the Amen Andrews stuff in no way fits with my playlist. IDM as an acid throwback does make more sense though since it's rooted in the classics.
Your point about the problems with naming and language goes back to your first line. It seems like releases from particular artists get summarily pigeonholed into a certain genre simply because of the artist's prior output.
