Intelligent dance music (commonly abbreviated as IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic and rave music styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat; it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists associated with it include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, ฮผ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.

This is the video/single version from 1999. The original album version from 1997 is more ambient sounding, but I am assuming most people remember the video version.

To be a kid and watch this video was a revelation.

I completely agree.

Another thing to keep in mind was that this was before streaming services and broadband.

I would come back from school and put on the TV to watch MTV to see clips/tracks like this.
