Thank you for the e-mail which you sent to Mary Anne regarding last night's mix from Autechre. In the last part of the mix Autechre had included clips from some old news bulletins. When we received the mix a few weeks ago, the content wasn't significant in the way that it is now - now that we're in a full-on war situation. As part of the BBC, we have incredibly stringent guidelines about impartiality and sensitivity which we have to adhere to, especially in war-time. As you heard, Mary Anne did make a brief announcement, that it was part of Autechre's mix, but as the speech continued, the content became more and more unsuitable - and we took the decision to end the mix early. However the only part of the mix which therefore wasn't broadcast was literally the last few minutes. Thanks again for your e-mail - I hope you enjoyed the mix - the majority of which we did put out. |

"we have incredibly stringent guidelines about impartiality" Is that why their war coverage is simply littered with pro-war military "experts" and various other blatant warnographers? I've hardly seen any dead bodies shown on the BBC... which is strange considering there's a war on. Impartial my arse! |

As if people who sat through an hour long Ae set at gone midnight are going to be the sort of uptight idiot to complain because a track uses samples of bombs falling or whatever. |

Interesting... I wonder if it wasn't just the sounds of bombing or gunfire or the like, but more overtly political content, considering Autechre's stated anti-war position. |

The "offensive material" that they are talking about, sounded to me like Chris Morris' comedy. Autechre are always going on about how funny he is, and i agree, he did 'The Day Today' and 'Brass Eye' and has stuff out on warp. One of the things he does, is to take bits of speech from old government announcements by Bush or whoever and he cuts them up, so he says ridiculous things. The stuff that was braodcastd was about terrorism in general, and i thought it was funny. I also sent an e-mail to mary anne hobbs casue i was so pissed off. |

oh and when they say "However the only part of the mix which therefore wasn't broadcast was literally the last few minutes."; thats also bullshit, there was still 15 minutes left, and they were suppose to play to more songs: The Hafler Trio - 'Controller Of The Instrument 1' (Touch) Curtis Roads - 'Sonal Atoms' (White Label) |

yeah, it had a "cut short" and badly done way about it i thought it odd that she made no mention of the mix being cut short or any mention of her opinion on the mix - usually she'd go "wow, that was amazing" or something. it was like, forthe rest of the show, she had a gun to her head- all her enthusiasm had gone when she had to cut in damn shame thou |
