Ah.... Then it's A for me. Think that's the right one.

Junktion:
Hvordan vil du sammenligne Kantropisk med de to første
albumene hans? Og hva er grunnen til "...allways something
rotten happening" ??

jeg har ikke hørt nogle hele albums fra Bjørn Svin endnu
desværre.

"where theres allways something rotten happening" is a
reference to "Theres something rotten in the state of
Denmark

it's cuz i saw a program about Radiohead, and leadsinger
said he listened a lot to Autechre (wich he pronounced
Au-tech-re) and Aphex Twin (wich he pronounced Affex)

but Richard himelf says ay-fex, like in "cmon you cunt's
let's have some ay-fex acid" and in the "words and music"
release he also says it. I have just grown to the Affix
pronouncement *heh*

A

I always say awe-tek-ruh, not how ae pronounce it, I know. I
like the sound more, has more rhythm - the fact that it
doesn't flow is good to me.

AY-fex

AW-tek-er

However, I also say LIE-nucks, even though most people say
LEN-nucks, and Torvalds himself said it was LEE-nucks.

ay-fex is the right way to pronounce it, i'm pretty sure.
that's how I've always said it anyway.

I used to pronounce Autechre like this:

Au-tek-ray (i thought the re on the end was some weird
foreign thing) :-)
