Yes, "or something like that."
Although I'm personally not a big fan of her work, it's a bit presumptuous
to draw the conclusion that she owes her career to Autechre because of her
ties to one of its members, as if a female artist cannot stand on her own --
what year is this, anyway? No one has said as much outright although it
seems to be the implied sentiment...
However I do miss Plone a lot, so if anyone hears of their whereabouts or
new releases, please post to the list!
