i think what may sound like a loop is more of a "rotation". within
that "rotation" are layered more "rotations" and often there is hardly any
repetition in ae's music. although it may sound "loopey" at face value.
and i would venture to say that techno music in general was founded on that
very formula

i think plaid's kinda generic and trendy... they're okay i guess... poppy
and catchy like you said and i may get slammed for saying this, but i
don't think their music is anywhere near as intelligent or psychedelic as
autechre's .... of course, that's no good reason to form an opinion.. but
i like the smart shit.
