"Idioteque" can be seen in two ways: A blatantly stupid
attempt at making a cheesy dance song (hence the name), or genius.
What "Idioteque" essentially is, is a dance song, beats,
and all. This, of all the songs on the album, is the experimental
one that stands out as much as "Electioneering" did on OKC.
It will either be your favorite song, or your most hated. However,
it can't be ignored.
The song samples a bit from Paul Lansky's 1975 computer-made song
"Mild Und Leise." For more info about Lansky and his RH
experience, check out his website.
