In a message dated 99-10-13 05:09:08 EDT, you write: << Derrick May = IDM? Such bullshit. When May started doing his thing in the late eighties there was no such thing as fucking IDM. It was techno, and people jacked hard to it at parties, and still do. It is still techno, which is attitude just as much a musical genre. Just because it is superb music and not hardcore gabba does not now make it "intelligent". You are taking the music out of context and placing it in a late nineties setting ... invalid parameter. Someone please back me up on this!! >> Read what I said. I said it was intelligent dance music. Literal definition of words. I went out of my way to say it was not related to current stuff. B.
