I found it on audiogalaxy By Ken Micallef Autechre's Rob Brown and Sean Booth are worshiped by *Radiohead**'s Thom Yorke, you can hear their cryptic influence on Kid A and Amnesiac. But beyond its maniacal way with a computer mouse and an infrequent melody or two, Autechre doesn't offer much in the way of music to mere mortals. Autechre certainly inspires if you aspire to making music with a hard drive and fracturing metallic samples, but unless snorting dead insects and spilling toxic chemicals on your broken neck sounds like fun, well... Autechre knows one rhythm; it is backwards and programmed to resemble a malfunctioning electric chair--it just keeps zapping and frying and flopping till your head finally pops off. There is a certain charm in "Sim Ajshel," where a drum and bass groove is ground up and spat out over a bed of serene synth croons. And "Pathetic Triangle"sounds like a meal of rubber and resin being fed to a herd of electric cows listening to their own slaughter. "Bine" (the titles are impossible to read) sounds like skateboarders' legs breaking. Now, you could assume that this is the sound of the future and Autechre are gracing us with a glimpse of Christmases to come. Confield also brings to mind that age old question, do computers dream of electric sheep? Does Autechre dream of virtual cash, and a secret audience with the computer magi? And where will you go to retrieve your instant lotto winnings? |

Heh. Most reviewers not familiar with those musical surroundings ever do... I particularly chuckled at "Sim Ajshel"... ;D |

True...but then why bother typing stuff about it and using comparisons that aren't even remotely connected to the tracks. Ah well *Go's back to snorting dead insects and pooring toxic chemicals on his broken neck* |
