Maybe the reason you can't get into Time Tourist
is because it really isn't that good. I bought
it about two years ago, so it was (slightly) less
dated then, but still wasn't very good. Time
Tourist came out in 96, and look at the other
recordings on Warp from that era. Tri Repetae is
the one that comes to mind...it's light years
beyond Time Tourist. I might fathom a guess that
it was dated before it came out. :) (At least
one of the tracks -- "Scriptures" -- came out
more than two years prior on AI2). The first
track is good though.
However, I really like Electro-Soma. But then
again, I enjoy listening to the Artificial
Intelligence series a lot; I think it's great
hacking music, and it's so much more melodic than
a lot of today's stuff. Tracks like "Obsessed"
are just awesome because of the cool, smooth
melody.
Another thing that occured to me is how much
different Autechre circa 1993 sounds compared to
now. Listen to "Bike," then listen to something
from Confield. You'd swear it was two different
artists.
