thinking in the shower this morning (the best kind).
autechre are ok.
irritating, but ok.
serving the increasingly unpalatable to an endlessly ravenous crowd.
the new progression of conscious antistructure creates equally scattered
confusion of how to take it. one guy at ATP blagged to his friend 'the more
random it is, the more i laaarrrvvv it..' his outstretched arms spiked the
air, while another stroked his chin in fear. it makes you question whether
the senses come from the brain or from the heart? autechre know the
answer's both as they create a soup of modern feeling stirred of sensations
that our brains produce in a joyful acceptance of randomness and our hearts
produce in a natural rejection of arrhythmia. for many it means being
rooted to the spot in catatonia. for others, the dominant organ rules and
they either dance like a spaz, or flee.
autechre are ok for playing with these limitations of our flesh. as we
become accepting and tolerant, they crank the intensity.
brain goes one way, heart goes the other. the music challenges, just like
it should.. but with no warning, this experience is being swallowed as
unwittingly as a spiked drink..
np. something good for me: Boredoms - Vision Creation New Sun
