 | I like the term IDM, because I don't like to associate Aphex etc. with other techno music.  When I tell people I listen
 to electronica they say "oh you mean like techno music", and
 really, its a completely different thing.  Regardless of
 whether or not one is more "intelligent" than the other;  it
 is clearly a different catagory of music.  When I tell
 people I listen to IDM they have no idea what I'm talking
 about, and that's how it should be, because most of them
 have never heard any of it.
 
 It is also pretty clear that although they are both Techno,
 what most of us here consider IDM usually appeals to
 tastes more sophisticated in electronic music.  Hence, it is
 pretty easy to get into the groove of crap club dance music,
 but it takes a little more listening and experience to
 really get into aphex and other "IDM"

 | dance is "dumb" coz it repeats, its piss easy to listen to and is (comparatively and generally) simple and cliched to
 make.
 this doesnt necesarily (sp?) mena its bad, however.
 
 BTW this is how I see it, anyway

 The guy mentioned 4/4 beats so you go ahead and jump the
 gun, generalising everything that happens to contain a 4.4
 beat as "trance" bollocks..dig a little beneath the suger
 coated vacuos, sanitised pop gloss versions of 4.4 dance and
 you will be pleased to find an as yet undiscovered world of
 artistically valid and quite enlightening music forms:-p
 
 Examples of "4.4 trance bollocks you might like---jeff
 mills, dave clarke, carl craig, plastikman, regis, surgeon,
 dj hell, international deejay gigolos, ian pooley, lucien
 foort, secret cinema, dj skull, robert hood, UR, red planet,
 drexciya, ,masters at work, felix da housecat, aphrohead, dj
 sneak, green velvet, boo williams, dj rush, dj funk, orlando

 | Why is techno music dumb? Because of its simplicity and minimalism?  Oh well in that case you can discard alot of
 the new aphex album for being "dumbass" also :-p.....and
 what's so novel about dancing ?...I personally find it
 pretty fucking enjoyable actually:-p

 | So you only listen to IDM cuz it isnt so easy to get into to, and DANCE music is in generally dumb ? Isnt that a lil
 bit contradicting ? I mean stuff like the BEATLES anddd
 (those bands that play real instruments) Beethoven are also
 very easy to listen to ? So does that mean their stuff is
 dumb or not complex enuff, and therfor bAD ?

 | well, if the length of time to get into a type of electronic music differentiates it as either IDM, or dumb ass dance
 music, well here's an interesting thing... I bought In Sides
 by Orbital back in April or so (my first pure electronic
 album) and I'm just now starting to really get into it... I
 bought I Care Because You Do, and the RDJ album, and in a
 week I thought they were the 2nd best thing ever (sliced
 bread still gets my #1 vote)... Now, I'm not saying Orbital
 is easy music to get into, just that it's closer to "dumb"
 dance music then Aphex Twin, and say Autechre... but
 anyways, the reason pure dance music gets a bad rap, is
 because most of it probably is slapped together to make
 money... like someone said, you get a beat, loop it, and
 stick in a catchy melody... I'm not saying it all is, cause
 there is plenty of dance music I like, but most of it
 probably is...

 | kaiser salsek by goldie has some fucken ace drums. 
 that is for goldie who you know, is a bit of a cheese
 master- i am quite impressed.
 
 i think the best way to equate intelligence or the level of
 intelligence to dance music is to apply rich's explanation
 of brain dance. it is music if were to dance to would make
 you look like you were having a seizure or so - so you don't
 instead have to 'process' let it out in your head. And so -
 the more you have to like use your head the more
 intelligent.
 
 regular bd oh bd oh bd oh @ 140/120bpm isn't all that hard
 to like process let alone dance too - just a shame it is so
 boring and uninspiring.

 | to druggiebowzer um..I know yer hearts in the right place but your post is
 somewhat misleading...
 most of the artists you have mentioned below and especially
 jeff mills, carl craig, dj hell, dj skull, surgeon,
 plastickman, drexicya, laurent garnier (his last album is
 IDM in my book..awesome stuff) are all the finest examples
 of techno/detroit techno/ borderline house...but not
 trance..but I agree with you that a lot of intelligence
 crept into the techno scene while people weren't looking,
 Cristian Vogel, Neil Landstrumm, Tobias Schmidt etc all have
 their roots in techno but their later stuff can stand in
 their own right as far as intelligence and creativity  as in
 comparison to any IDM, infact in some cases it's even more
 commendable that at the bottom of all the wirggly, knob
 twidly weirdness they throw into their stuff..there's still
 a solid 4/4 backbone albiet stretched to the limits of
 recognition...
 
 Examples of "4.4 trance bollocks you might like---jeff
 mills, dave clarke, carl craig, plastikman, regis, surgeon,
 dj hell, international deejay gigolos, ian pooley, lucien
 foort, secret cinema, dj skull, robert hood, UR, red planet,
 drexciya, ,masters at work, felix da housecat, aphrohead, dj
 sneak, green velvet, boo williams, dj rush, dj funk, orlando
 voorn, marshall jeferson, thomas chrome, sven vath, laurent
 garnier, derrick may,.....

 | aww maw goowd nees... MR MylantA fins it funny...in a seeminglesss harmless
 topic of a thread..you people find it necessary to utter the
 word FAGGOT...14 times...how wonDERful..why not use the
 word..HOmoSEXUal? or ass pirate....maybe fudge
 packer?...maybe get old school..and say doing of mens
 ASSES...or NOT a DOER Of CUnts....but why faggot..its
 so..passe....
 Oh..Im sorry..were you refering to "a bundle of sticks"
 the original meaning of the word? or maybe you
 meant...cigarrettes??
 trance may not be the most complex or original type of
 modern "techno"..but at one time..it was cutting
 edge....remember that..the next time you are getting a penis
 shoved up your dialated asshole... :)
