how about a kind of parallel to progressive rock? prog rock listeners usually consider their music to be pushing the boundaries of rock, while we consider IDM to be pushing the boundaries of techno...so perhaps something along the lines of prog techno or progressive electronic music (PEM) would be a bit more descriptive (and wouldn't sound as uppety as "intelligent dance music" can sound to someone unfamiliar with the term) -brad
