But what loops, what sounds. Unique sounds, subtle backdrops. And listen closer. The sounds change and morph all the time

Autechre can be dark and brooding, or light and uplifting, or tear-jerkingly beautiful, or get-up-on-your-feet-and-dance energetic. I am not looking for one particular mood, I am just continuously delighted by the uniqueness of the sound that they make. imho, of course :) J ^ __________ ________.__/_____ _||_/ James Skilton aka Steady J _[]/_____________[.__\____-_ DJ and Party Animal | | Part Time Hedonist |____________________________| Full Time Technohead |__|-' '-|__| jamess@ftp.com Autechre and SKAM discogs: http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/~sk393820/
