in shops in britain, they generally lump everything into 4 categories:
techno, house, downtempo breaks and jungle.  if they are a bit more
knowledgeable they will have a small electronica or experimental section but
otherwise it just gets shoved in the techno section.  i've never seen a shop
with a section entitled 'idm', which is probably a good thing cos then the
people into the other stuff would *never* buy it:

'intelligent?  so that means the stuff i normally buy is unintelligent?
fuck those wankers...'

cheerio!
