My point I think is the same as your point. I was jokingly saying I was
confused. I am quite familair with Ae's use of more conventional drum
machines, but at the same time I think you would be hard pressed to hear
much obvious drum machines on any of of their records apart from
Incunabula )oh yeah there is that electro track on Tri); as they go on
they seem to pull off more and more really mutated rythms. So I was sort
of saying that I was confused because amongst all the DSP trickery going
on on EP7, which seems forced, they then throw in some good ol' 808 which
just seemed rather odd...sorry for not making that clear.

PS I had listened to the new one at least 10 times. Still isn't grabbing
me. It's certainly not bad, it's just not grabbing me the way *all other*
Ae releases do. I think this is due in part from the fact a lot of Ae
style IDM has saturated my ears since LP5 came out, and I'm growing tired
of it. Much the same way I tired of all the drillnbass that came out right
after TJ got huge...but who knows maybe I'll like it tomorrow for some
wierd reason...
