yes, it's a trend i'm annoyed with. don't get me wrong
i love noise (harsh even) and i Loved ep7 but this just
has No funk left, just fucking random (sounding) noises.
almost all melodie is gone. (i'm not into sickly sweet
melodie, but give me something... jesus)
sounds like a bad autechre clone to me, i really wish
more groups would stand up and not follow the current
trends.
i've loved all autechre releases upon first listen, this one
is just sad...
ugly. boring. without soul. no funk. cold. computer music.
enjoy it kids, i'ts all coming to a close.
eggy toast =! genius.
i'm out.

I have to agree with you. I was looking for more melody and found it to be
stimulating to my mind but it's not the same Autechre that I am used to. I
am dissapointed as well. I mean, at least with songs like "Netlon
Sentinel" from EP7 there was a nice melody towards the end of all the chaos
that allowed you to appreciate that very element. I don't know, I just
find it dissappointing that this is the direction they have chosen as well.
