Change, that's what's up. It's not '96 anymore. I totally respect them for constantly
evolving and trying out new things and actually challenging their listeners. Do you
want them to go on forever giving you 2 note melodies coupled with crunchy beats ?
You've got a whole slew of copycats out there still doing that.
I still can't believe people think Ae peaked with their pre-Tri-Repetae work. It
confounds me when people who claim to listen "experimental" electronic music have
such negative reactions to Autechre's post-Chiastic Slide work. I think they really
are making "intelligent" music now.

I bet you equate "ideas" with those simple, melancholy melodies that used to be
prominent in Ae's music.
