I think in this instance the term "academic" is being used to describe a 
mode of art which is rooted in (or based on) a conceptual as opposed to an 
aesthetic worth.

Personally, I feel that conceptuality in music is best employed subtly; as a 
device to generate aesthetically tangible value. In my own work I prefer to 
keep the concepts obscured from the conscious mind of the audience.
