Check this out: "Fresh Widow 3000 -Duchamp Net"

very cool & inspiring indeed.
something I thought was worth noting in light of the question on the
need for things to be defined if they are to be enjoyed:
my dog *loves* aphex.
everytime I put on 'ventolin', the lil nipper, a chihuahua named Edgar,
runs & stands right up next to one of the 15" woofer JBLs. of course,
'ventolin' is to be expected - but it seems that whenever I put on any
aphex he either gets very playful or pays very close attention, tilting
his baby's-fist sized head left and right to the music. sometimes I
would swear that his tail wags metronomically.
I note this now because my girlfriend and edgar have been watching
'eraserhead' for about an hour now - and the li'l guy loves it, is
transfixed by Lynch's exquisitely crafted soundtrack.
IDM - music for canines, as well as trainspotters.
