As an Autechre/Gescom fanatic I have to admit that this is most
probably one of the weakest releases by them. Quite an obscure
French label, too. Hard, minimal, metallic clonking and clanking,
not your usual we're-going-to-mess-with-your-sense-of-rhythm or
we'll-make-you-dream-of-fractals-and-mathematic-formulae-Autechre.
Not a lot of variance in rhythm structure and hardly any melody
(unless you count the whiny noises). If you like the Autechre remix of
Mark Broom's Any Number Between 1-17, you should get Motor. Though the
record has grown on me during the years, it's still one of my least
favourite releases by Booth/Brown.
I just noticed a week ago that I still haven't even opened my copy of
the Gescom MD, let alone listened to it. I don't event have an MD player.
I buy vinyl, damn it. I'm also trying not to explode while trying to get
my hands on a few choice slabs of not-so-IDM wax. Why do online record
shops have items in their catalogue that they don't have in stock and
are totally unable to get? I've tried at least six. But I digress. A
few rounds of
http://www.kvetch.com/ and I'll feel a tad better.
