Oh please. I don't know where to begin here. Most music, and particularly that of Autechre, it is supposed to be an experience--you listen, feel, sense--you're not supposed to sit and pick it apart and analyze, etc. Music like this isn't meant to be picked apart the way you would a work of literature--you're supposed to be absorbed in the experience of the sound, the "sound of the sound" as RDJ said. Come on dude, this is an album, not "The Brothers Karamazov." Now, perhaps to a humorous effect, are some out-of-context snippets.

This conclusion just baffles me. It's the kind of stuff my English teachers have always called "fluff"--but then again, having not been to college, I haven't yet learned how to write "intelligently." Thank you for your time. --Geoff
