*** Historical background ***
In 1991 RePhleX records introduced the concept of 'Braindance' to label the music they release.
Often people equate Braindance and IDM. That is completely wrong. Braindance is More than IDM.
IDM is a style of electronic music, and Braindance isn't one.
Braindance is NOT a limp and lifeless set of sounds like 97% of everything that industry produces. It is the Music! A sound that contains feelings, emotions and inspiration!

Here is the text posted on the Rephlex website in the 90's:
"braindance is the genre that encompasses the best elements of all genres, e.g traditional, classical, electronic music, popular, modern, industrial, ambient, hip hop, electro, house, techno, breakbeat, hardcore, ragga, garage, drum and bass, etc.

BRAINDANCE is...
extraordinary!
fulfilling!
entertaining!
open-minded!
original!
creative!
unpredictable!
sincere!
influential!
highly-acclaimed!
BRAINDANCE is...
unique : )"

And here is the later version:
"braindance is... incredible!
braindance is... boundless; eclectic; entertaining; rephreshing; fulfilling; wholehearted; sensual;
stimulating; bold; unconventional; real; imaginary; visionary; essential; debonair...
braindance is unique!"

"Lowfish's music is deceptively simple, enormously catchy modern electro, eschewing currently fashionable digital trickery for good old analog skills" XLR8R

"Forget the watered-down schlock that passes for electro these days - this is pure, unadulterated synth music, and it rules" VICE

"Seriously, keine Verarsche! Hört mal genau hin, was sich da zwischen den Schaltkreisen entwickelt: ein Organismus, mehrere Zellen, Synthese dank 240 Volt!Lowfish, der bärtigste Bartträger von Toronto, forscht seit den späten Neunzigern nach Lebensformen im Schall. Gefunden hat er: zwei Dutzend EPs und acht Alben, die alle unter eigenen Label-Laborbedingungen entstanden sind. Sie enthalten Spuren von Delia Derbyshire, Mort Garson und Aphex Twin. Möglicherweise haben sich auch Tin Man und ein Dopplereffekt ins Petrischälchen verirrt. Wurscht, weil das ohnehin nur billiges Namedropping ist, um der organisch nach Luft hechelnden und ganz und gar lebendigen Gefühlsverwirrung einen Namen zu verpassen." GROOVE
