It's one of my least favourite genre names.

Firstly because it implies that all other "dance" music isn't intelligent, which is just patent bollocks, and secondly because a lot of "IDM" isn't particularly danceable anyway.

I think Electronica is a better word for it.

What is it?

It's basically a catch all term for electronic music that doesn't fit into any other pre-defined slots.

Oooh, also just remembered ISAN: isan
the name reminds me of the album ISDN by FSOL, which i really used enjoy along with eatstatic. i'm also a big fan of hawkwind some of their instrumental tracks are pure electronica (imo)
i know what you mean i've always been a fan of things that enhance my mood, and i can't dance for toffee.
