Hi, I understand what you're saying here but consider that most IDM producers wouldnt label their music as IDM in the Intelligent Dance Music way. its just a label that is associated with a genre of electronic music. a bad label at that. Im sure most of them wouldnt claim that their music is more intelligent nor would they claim that you can dance to it. to some IDMers, the method with which the audio is produced is nearly as important as the characteristics of the audio itself. I would classify what richard devine speaks of as soundscape or experimental over IDM. math trax typically lack that continuously cohesive rhythm which makes you want to dance to it. yay techno! boo math beats! ;P -Joe
