Did anybody of you listened to this release? I just came across of the review on the milk factory
"Bootleg initially appears like a manic depressive on the upswing, the emotional equivalent of approaching the top of a big dipper while suffering motion sickness and vertigo simultaneously. As the album continues it begins to slow down and focus more, the twists and turns occurring a little less frequently. Second track Cocktails is a fine piece of Farfisa mellowness thwacked with bent notes from what might be a violin strung with steel strings. Scarlet begins like an Italian spy thriller before taking a detour off the strada to visit a fairground.
* Bootleg is like a portion of fat, tasty chips slapped into a big white bap.
* Bootleg is the bastard offspring of Carl Stalling and a benzedrine-addicted Autechre.
* Bootleg is like a wet weekend in 1950s Morecombe brightened into day-glow colours by dropping a fantastic tab of acid (temporally impossible, but what the heck).
* Bootleg is like the wall-mounted collages pieced together from disparate detritus by British artist Tony Cragg, but instead of confrontations between police and protesters they illustrate karaoke-singing businessmen.
David Toop in his 2004 book Haunted Weather refers to a generally unacknowledged parallel history of sonic experimenters who worked in populist rather than avant-garde spheres. He initiates this analysis with reference to Danish wildlife recordist Carl Weismann. Weismann edited together outtakes of dogs barking into a canine rendition of Jingle Bells, which eventually and entirely unexpectedly reached no.1 in the US 16 years later. Æ appear to follow in this populist tradition by creating challenging musical collages out of sonic detritus reminiscent of fairground rides, distorting halls of mirrors and, perhaps most appropriately, those humorous illustrations in which holes are cut for people to stick their heads".

no it isn't autechre.
actually, there was a bit of a hullabaloo over the name AE.
autechre sued them for using that abreviation, or well, they demanded they'd change it to something else or they'd sue them.
I think they did change it, can't remember though.
there was a thread about this incident on the Planet Mu phorum, with the man behind AE dropping in too.

I just had a look and it would seem AE are now called accident & emergency (or a&e).
