> >its definitely "intelligent"...... > This might just be a personal thing, but does anyone else get pissed off by terms like 'Intelligent techno' and 'Intelligent dance music.' They have a really snobbish 'I'm clever, unlike the morons who listen to unintelligent techno' sound. I kind of prefer braindance, or possibly home listening techno (despite the danger of HLT being misheard as HRT). Plus it doesn''t really describe the music. Selected Ambient Works is a benchmark of this sort of music, but without being tremendously complex or difficult. I suppose you could argue that intelligent in this context means 'conscious' or thinking' (please no philosophical debate about consciousness here), but there has to be a better term. Dunno what it is though. Jorkens
