Both sides of the argument are rampant whenever a new Autechre release comes out, most likely because their style has changed so dramatically over a relatively short time span. Inevitably, opinion gets interpreted as fact and the rumors spread. Regardless, it likely will continue on from Gantz Graf into an "emotional sonic assault" or "senseless drivel of noise," depending on whether you care about it or not. Although I don't think they really care about challenging their listeners, but rather challenging themselves. I certainly don't get the impression that they're just pushing tracks out there for money, and care more about doing things because it's what they want to do. -- eggytoast.com -------------- commerce soon: eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
