Possibly a typo. I've made similar mistakes in reviews and articles myself
where I knew a lot about the band I was writing about.
quoted 1 line mentions autechre's FIVE (not six) albums,
>mentions autechre's FIVE (not six) albums,
He's referring to the five albums they released previous to Confield.
quoted 1 line and calls their music drum & bass.
> and calls their music drum & bass.
No, he doesn't. The exact quote is:
"Like drum'n'bass, "Confield" has a kinship with Indian classical music..."
He's simply using it as a point of reference, not a genre description.

In my opinion, this was probably one of the best IDM-related reviews I've
ever seen from the mainstream media (aside from the reviews that Ben Rayner
writes for the Toronto Star, 'cause he's a huge techno/electronic music
fan). Aside from spelling Brown's name wrong, I saw nothing glaringly wrong
or ignorant in the review. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised to find out that
the review is actually an IDM fan in "real life".
quoted 1 line btw, i hope english isn't your first language; your grammar is terrible.
>btw, i hope english isn't your first language; your grammar is terrible.
OK, this was uncalled for. No need to be a fucking asshole because he
doesn't agree with you. Perhaps I should insult you because you don't seem
to know how to capitalize you sentances?
