There's really only one totally non-melodic track, and it's actually pretty sick. The only track that leaves me stupified is the last one, where the song disintegrates into a barrage of beats for six minutes. >One thing I really like, its the darkest Ae album they've released. Not cold, but EVIL. Got to love that.
I have to add another vote that the new album sp4nks. It makes me think of Envane, for some reason. I'm just surprised at how stony and bassy tracks like "Sim Gishel" are. Definitely a slightly different emotional flavor from old Autechre. More ambiguous? If you still think Amber is their best album, you're probably going to find this their shittiest yet. Personally, I love the way they still have melody, but give it up within the song less easily. Their songs still all sound like the taste of copper to me, which never changes. I like the new Crush album as cute, well-written pop. MAS albums are like the Destiny's Child of IDM. It will be rinsed through my speakers often. While I'm liking things, I like peach Clearly Canadian, too. ---- Jeff Pitrman http://component.robotcore.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
