orchestra hits are present in the song and they made me
laugh. If autechre made me laugh intentionally, thats great.
If not, then who gives a fuck.
the orchestra hits are either embarassing(for them) or
hilarious(to me) or both.

taken from wikipedia -

"An orchestra hit, also known as an orchestral hit,
orchestra stab, or orchestral stab, is a sound created
through the layering of the sounds of a number of different
orchestral instruments. The orchestra hit sound was
propagated by the use of early samplers, particularly the
Fairlight CMI, and it has similarly appeared as a voice on
many keyboards. When used in music is usually appears at the
end or beginning of a musical phrase, in effect punctuating
it.

One of the first popular songs to use a sampled orchestra
hit sound was the band Yes's 1983 hit "Owner of a Lonely
Heart", from their album 90125. This album was produced by
Trevor Horn, who also used similar sounds frequently on
songs by his own group The Art of Noise. The orchestra hit
sound appeared on many songs throughout the 1980s. Probably
the most frequently used version was a sample from
Stravinsky's Firebird Suite that came as part of the
Fairlight CMI library of sounds [1]
(http://www.hollowsun.com/vintage/fairlight). Many rap
groups picked up the sound and it appeared frequently in rap
music, as well as dance music from the 1980s to early 1990s.
By the 1990s the orchestra hit was generally regarded as a
musical cliché. Today the sound most frequently appears in
television in the presentation music of such genres as news
and sports programming and game shows such as The Weakest
Link."

anyone know of famous songs that use them? my mind is a
blank right now

The word Amen is one of a small number of Hebrew words which
have been imported unchanged into the liturgy of the Church,
propter sanctiorem as St. Augustine expresses it, in virtue
of an exceptionally sacred example. "So frequent was this
Hebrew word in the mouth of Our Saviour", observes the
Catechism of the Council of Trent, "that it pleased the Holy
Ghost to have it perpetuated in the Church of God". In point
of fact St. Matthew attributes it to Our Lord twenty-eight
times, and St. John in its doubled form twenty-six times. As
regards the etymology, Amen is a derivative from the Hebrew
verb aman "to strengthen" or "Confirm".
