i hate to perpetuate this.. but, I think its really pretty rediculous to criticize lexaunculpt for being "pure autechre/MAS/schematic worship".. imo, 606 wears his influences just as prominently. nevertheless, both alex and michael produce significantly different styles of electronic music that will appeal to different tastes. personally, I think both artists are quite fascinating in their own respects.. the subtlety of lexaunculpt, 606's rawness.
