sorry if this seems a little off-topic, but i think this way too--but NOT about Autechre. i think Richard James is overrated. i really must be missing something, because everyone speaks of all his work as superawesome, and i just don't see it. i saw him dj once too and was equally unimpressed. am i missing the secret? puzzled, saiki o.d.
