Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

IDM

it's by chance your changes were noted so quickly as I happened to be online. Your initial edit was an unfounded and unsupported assertion that resembled vandalism. Generally it's a good idea to prepare your references in advance of submission and then write what you intend submitting in your sandbox before committing it as an edit of an existing article.

you are being rather pedantic regarding terminology, the Warp item was for the sake of brevity, but it clearly states "It felt like we were leading the market rather than it leading us," says Beckett. "The music was aimed at home listening rather than clubs and dance floors: people coming home, off their nuts, and having the most interesting part of the night listening to totally tripped out music. The sound fed the scene." Also, see Reynolds, Chapter 9, p. 180, regarding the actual origins of the "intelligent" moniker; as yet not dealt with in the IDM article. There are numerous other references to support the view that intelligent techno, IDM, electronica, whatever you want to call it, is a post-rave EDM derivative that focused on a listening experience, rather than dancing. Find support for the claim that xy and z "have progressed IDM beyond its origins". Also, please sign your comments. Semitransgenic (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

IDM is electronic dance music that is equally comfortable on the dancefloor as in the living room. this sentence is utterly meaningless. Allmusic is not a legitimate source, the paragraph you cite does not even provide attribution of authorship, nor does it provide sources for it's assessment.

was that a put down? do you actually think this is a game of sourcing oneupmanship? if you are good with the amount of crap that passes as fact on the internet I can't help you; wiki is the one place where information can be properly vetted and any that isn't can be tagged so people get the heads up on potentially misleading information. Please read the guidelines sometime and quit taking things so personally. Semitransgenic (talk) 16:56, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

OK thanks for the props. I wasn't intending on putting you off, I just think it pays, in the long run, to appear as credible as possible, stuffy if you will, it wards off the BS artists etc. Well referenced articles seem to stand a better chance of holding their own long term; otherwise it's time and energy wasted.

Advice section

What is the relevance of that quote exactly? It is not worked into the surrounding text and, IMO, doesn't seem to provide any really useful information. If there is a place you think it might work better, or if you have information you could add in order to integrate it, that would be great. Otherwise, I think it might make more sense to remove it, at least for the time being. I welcome your thoughts. --Kakofonous (talk) 20:31, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Aphex Twin is influential. He's saying "don't copy me so much, be a leader and make some interesting music". That's a piece of knowledge useful to people interested in Aphex Twin.
