Subject:: (idm) new Ae 12" - are we sad trainspotters ?

Found the new Ae 12" with _keynell_ remixes, very soothing and float-y (after just one listen). My eye was attracted to the inside of the cover which also has printing on it. If you look closely, you'll find the next sentence in small print : "if you've got this far, you're a sad trainspotter". Should I feel insulted now ? dv8

It's just stupid self-importance - if they're of that opinion about the design, they should release in plain stock sleeves. At this rate, anyone who buys records will become a sad trainspotter, I mean, you're made to feel a knob just knowing who makes the tracks you hear in a club. Sad trainspotters? Most people don't sit in a small room for hours on end agonising over EQ knobs, sampled loops and other muso nonsense. Autechre should take lots of drugs and go to happy hardcore raves if they really feel like that. Cheerio! NP - Kanei - Photek
