@MrBeeKaa there is the other IDM though made up of the more glitchy clicky stuff that has proliferated since around 1999. thats what i think of when i think idm, not warp records.

@sheatheman Brain Dance as a word has almost the same meaning as Intelligent Dance Music. What you called wrong about the term IDM can be also said for the term Brain Dance. But because the great Richard David James says it, it is probaly ok to use it..

I discovered him few days ago, and I just wanna say "shame on me!". He's incredible!

saw chris in lower nyc playing with hudson mohawke last saturday. didn't play this gem but he tore it up of course. ^^

true - that's the term i've been using, but its annoying cause its even more broad and encompasses the music that the term 'IDM' was trying to get away from/was the reason the term 'IDM' came about in the first place. still, nothing to be done i guess.

Electronic

fair point about the IDM.. what would you call it though? IDM is a nice, easy term cause its applicable to so much music lol.. but yeah if the artists don't like it, i should find another description.
aphex twin call's his music "brain dance" instead of IDM.
i think it is much more useful to try to describe music rather than create a all-encompassing sub genre.
dirty, heavily processed, gritty, grainy, melodic, ambient, broken, experimental, punchy, powerful, nostalgic, droning...
add on some adjectives people.
IDM certainly is a horrible thing to call any music though.
people who dance to music under the pretense of it being intelligent probably lack that aforementioned characteristic.
