i agree in full. i still think it's the best track on the whole comp. ok, i
also like fitton's metalurg, and seefeel's, balil's, and kirk's tracks a
lot, but they're not half as demanding to the listener. my basic criticism
about the ai2 comp... *it goes down like honey*. (the cover's really good!
can you hear the light?)
anyway, there's an interview from about a year ago or so where rdj states
that he's very bored with 4/4 beats and that he's experimenting with other
times. now here's one track were you get mad when you start to count, and i
like that. and i'm sure there's enough material for an album already.
people will only have to learn to listen to this stuff... alan's doing the
only right thing: trust your heroes and don't give up, listen to it for
another time :-)

like he sampled a bang on his teapot and that's the sound? well i still
don't understand what criteria people use when they judge two sounds to be
one and the same. what alterations would be allowed? if it just means "one
and the same original sample", that's simple. you can do anything with
this, if you take the trouble. if it means "only pitch change", i don't
believe it for the pw track, but i'll give it a listen.
