 A reply from the list server's system administrator and founder of Hyperreal.org Brian Behlendorf, revealed that Parry originally wanted to create a list devoted to discussion of the music on the Rephlex label, but they decided together to expand its charter to include music similar to what was on Rephlex or that was in different genres but which had been made with similar approaches.They picked the word "intelligent" because it had already appeared on "Artificial Intelligence" and because it connoted being something beyond just music for dancing, while still being open to interpretation., the mailing list is still active.
