I think their rythms have evolved somewhat and become perhaps a bit more
complex, but fankly how different is what they are doing now from the
Anti EP? Not a whole lot. It's not necessarily that I'm against the lack
of structure in some of their songs, it's the fact that what they're
doing now compared to what they were doing years ago is too simmilar to
my ears. The one thing that must be avoided at all costs if 'this' music
is to be a constantly innovative and expanding genre is the relaxation
into a comfortable mode where its sufficient simply to deliver the
product that everyone expects from a given artist. This has already
happened with FSOL, I think (among a few others) and I would hate to see
it happen Autechre. Perhaps I'm being overly paranoid, but it's the one
thing I think that seperates IDM from becoming an overly insular form of
art music that churns out the same tracks to the same indoctrinated fans
for year after year.
