it's a classic case of The Emperor's New clothes. yeah, it's just bleeps,
bloops and noise, but if that's what you like ... there you go.
if you don't bring the context of other experimental predecessors to
something like Autechre's EP7, it is just going to sound like horrible
noise. like i said before about Kid 606, the fact that people object to
seomthing so vehemently means there must be something to it.
reviews like this just demonstrate the fact that music like all art is
entirely subjective and you can't base your own opinions on either
critical praise or slag.
bravo Tanya Headon.
