What the fuck is IDM?

Intelligent Dance Music?
At the heart of this phrase is a word: D A N C E.
If you can't dance to it, it's not dance music, only electronic music - and just because it's electronic doesn't make it music. Some of Autechre's textures are terrific experiments in sound, but I wouldn't want to dance to it any more than I would 2 Unlimited.
And, it's just as possible (if not more so, judging by some of the try hard attempts to replicate Aphex Twin and the like) to make stupid, uninspired electronic soundscapes as any other dodgy trance/techno/... tunes.
So stop saying one genre is more intelligent than the next - unless you're talking about Gabba, Hard NRG or Tony De Vit style Hard House - they are all really stoopid.

Sorry, just had to get it off my chest.

YO3 - Deep Sleep EP (1994)

It’s mostly what some cunts might call IDM here; lots of ambient textures and abstract beats – not bad music at all, and not too different from Beaumont Hannant’s usual output as far as I know. 
But on the B side you get “Scramble”, a pretty simple rave track probably knocked together in a couple of hours. But fuck me if it isn’t brilliant big room techno to make you dance, with some mighty fine percussive rhythms. Best played fast (+4 or more), and don’t mix into it’s intro. Yes, it is that good.
