If people ask me what sort of music I mostly listen to, then I'll usually describe it as "underground techno". It sounds less pretentious than "Intelligent Dance Music", but conveys the idea that it's nothing like commercial techno (although thankfully that sort of thing has merged into the club scene). I also listen to a lot of alternative/indie guitar stuff too -- ie, anything on 4AD, and I always have a problem trying to describe that to people. "Cocteau Twins? Throwing Muses? Scheer? Tanya Donelly? Never 'eard of 'em, mate." Hum-ho! /\/)ark http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/
