Would you guys classify Bjork as IDM. I like AFX, and I like Bjork. Sometimes she is almost IDM with vocals. I don't know. I should sleep...

Could be, although Björk is too eclectic for her music to be considered IDM or else.

Intelligent Dance Music
i dont like the word really. What makes it intelligent? that it has no beat structure?
that the person who listens to it has a goatee instead of white coulered hair?
i dont get it...explain it to me

so richard - (i'd like to make it clear that my previous statement was one of sarcasm and that i disagree with you) if "it sure does", does this mean that (going back to the original question) bjork is questionably/arguably stupid?

idm probably has something to with the fact that it is not easy accesible and so demands a broader sense of music interest then the average boom-boom everybody can understand. Maybe?

Rephlex's style of music is IDM or Braindance. It is just the genre tag. I hate to call Radiohead rock or progressive rock or whatever. It is just how it is cataloged. I think you are right, and that the term came from having a broader interest in ecclectic music.
But anyway, has anyone heard µ-Ziq's remix of Bjork's 'hunter'? It is really quite amazing. . .
Oh, just one more note. The lack of beat structure isn't really a lack. Synchopation is a very important thing in most rythm based music. It is almost like having a timing within the timing. Like having a 5/8 time inside a bar of a 4/4 time.
Well, I have to be off. I've got to pick up my drum machine from the local shop.

I have a goatee.... I dont like the tag IDM very much at all, ive never ever been one to put tags on music, although it very well may be comsidered IDM by many, not by me. Its just.. music, AFX.. or whatever else Im listening to.
And to stay on topic, Bjork is not "IDM" in my opinion, ive never really liked her stuff, but its ok to listen to I suppose.
