"intelligent" dance music, anyone?


>Unfortunately classical carries the connotations of high-brow.

it does, but listening to and being a fan of jazz decades past its commercial peak also has a connotation of being arty, intellectual, and sophisticated. i don't think it's any coincidence that the 3 genres in question are popular right now with people of selective and refined tastes, a deep interest in the arts, as well as an historically minded appreciation of music.
