Sean & Rob should make an "eminem - stan"-like track out of this :) If they record the voice, mess it up with granular fx etc (the formula is quite simple :), this could be a number one IDM hit, it could blow up all the charts :))

anticipation. Why? Because I was going to napster the new autechre album while at work. On the way there, I slipped "Chichlisuite" into the Cd player and hummed along to "Krib" as I sped to work, pals sweaty with hearing the new offering from my (former) heroes. Once I was logged in to my computer, I quickly started up my copy of napster and started looking... I found 1... 2... 3... etc. Pretty soon I had the entire album, but I wated until all the downloads were done before listening. I turned the harsh flourescent light in my office off and hit play on "VI Scose Pose". Shocked, I skipped to the next file, and then to the next. Pretty soon I found that I skipped my way through the entire album!!! WHAT WAS HAPPENING??!?!? Is this autechre? I began to cry.

incorporate more melodies and chord progressions into their songs. I also asked them to cut down on the use of Hyperprism FX and quirky digital programming. While they never responded to my messages, I got the sense that they had heard me and realized the errors of their ways. They're geniuses, but sometimes, things don't always work quite right.

don't seem to give a damn for those of us who are devoted fans and who know more about the scene than they do. I give them my love, time, and emails and I get rewarded with "Cornfield" or should I say "Cornhole". I'm so hurt, I'm a very emotional person. It just dosen't make any sense. It sounds like they spent a few minutes letting their cats run about on their samplers, then cut it into tracks and bribed warp to release it. I blame Warp too.

sound, but instead I got a record that Funkstorung could have done better. Fortunately, there are enough other IDM artists out there ready to fill the shoes of the dead gods.
