I've done a lot of thinking and toying with the compositional and conceptual differences and similarities between dance music, i.e. trance, house, dnb etc, and experimental electronic music.
There seem to be a few crowning points of dance music.. - hypnotic (via repetition and subtle progression) - very explicit and important production - builds, breaks, progressive nature
Not to say that these things don't arise in other more experimental electronica, but a lot of the IDM I know is much more compositional and rooted in what seems to be a more psychedelic/experimental/abstract world.
I see these as two main branches, very distinct in the world of electronic music-- that which defies genre and categorization given the very new nature of electronic music, and the stuff that seems to be working inside existing and defined electronic genres, which seems to be mainly dancy stuff.
I need to move to europe, the US is full of nincompoops.
