There's fighting back and there's telling people to shove bananas up their ass.

I agree. I read an quote from Aphex twin on wikipedia regarding the name of the genre:
"I just think it's really funny to have terms like that. It's basically saying 'this is intelligent and everything else is stupid.' It's really nasty to everyone else's music."
haha, so true.
and thank you, Leto. I'll look into those artists you've mentioned tomorrow.
people who get pissed off at genre names are so lame... indeed, the premise of intelligent dance music was totally balls, but since it's creation it has been adopted as a legitimate term for a discernible variety of music. it is worth noting that Richard James said that quote in the mid '90s...
see also: post-rock. if anyone bitches about post-rock being a silly tagname i'mma bust a nut on they faces.
now now, hit him up with afx-esque artists, don't bombard him with all things electronic, i had to limit myself lol because electronic music is awesome, although i could never get into squarepusher... far too cheesy samply for mine likingz
AFX is unique, no one can reach his soundscapes cause he is building his own machines. and no one got his brain^^
Although I think sometimes Venetian Snares (never understood how someone with the name Aaron Funk needs an artist name) tries to imitate AFX and mixes him up with Breakcore. although impressive, he never seems to evolute, always the same sound, even his new album.
anyway, I am sooo looking forward to the new AFX album, if it ever will be released.
I've been a pretty big fan of Ulver's black metal work, specifically Bergtatt.
I've known for a while that they later became an electronica group, and, I must say, they're quite good at it.
yeah, i really dug the bm trilogy from them, I thought they just continued to get tedious from then on except maybe Perdition City. all of their latest output just screams "progressive band trying to do postrock"
i like a lot of the more popular jazz icons: chet baker + art peppers + dizzie gillespie + miles davis + paul desmond etcetcetc.... lovely stuff. that shit up there was awful though, get some Modern Jazz Quartet in you for jazz/baroque sort of shit.
really hits home how all jazz and classical is nothing but iiVI's and fourth cycling.
