now that's the funniest thing I've read here in months! good job! Totally 2 Step wrote:
quoted 39 lines Dear IDM Friends, Sean, and Rob-> Dear IDM Friends, Sean, and Rob- > > I want you all to know that I awoke early this morning, trembling with anticipation. Why? Because I was going to napster the new autechre album while at work. On the way there, I slipped "Chichlisuite" into the Cd player and hummed along to "Krib" as I sped to work, pals sweaty with hearing the new offering from my (former) heroes. Once I was logged in to my computer, I quickly started up my copy of napster and started looking... I found 1... 2... 3... etc. Pretty soon I had the entire album, but I wated until all the downloads were done before listening. I turned the harsh flourescent light in my office off and hit play on "VI Scose Pose". Shocked, I skipped to the next file, and then to the next. Pretty soon I found that I skipped my way through the entire album!!! WHAT WAS HAPPENING??!?!? Is this autechre? I began to cry. > > Now, after "ep7" came out I emailed Sean and Rob and asked them to incorporate more melodies and chord progressions into their songs. I also asked them to cut down on the use of Hyperprism FX and quirky digital programming. While they never responded to my messages, I got the sense that they had heard me and realized the errors of their ways. They're geniuses, but sometimes, things don't always work quite right. > > But now I know they did not hear me, or they did not care. Sean and Rob don't seem to give a damn for those of us who are devoted fans and who know more about the scene than they do. I give them my love, time, and emails and I get rewarded with "Cornfield" or should I say "Cornhole". I'm so hurt, I'm a very emotional person. It just dosen't make any sense. It sounds like they spent a few minutes letting their cats run about on their samplers, then cut it into tracks and bribed warp to release it. I blame Warp too. > > I'm so disappointed. I was hoping for a return to the "Chichlisuite" era sound, but instead I got a record that Funkstorung could have done better. Fortunately, there are enough other IDM artists out there ready to fill the shoes of the dead gods. > > Sean and Rob, if you guys read this, please contact me off list with an explanation, or I will not buy the CD. > > Keep it real, > > t2s > > == > .,-:-,,. > .AMMMHMMHHMII, > .AMMHHMMMHHMMHMMMHHA. > .AMHHMMMMHIMMMMMMHMHHHHHL > .AHHIHHMMHIMMMMMMMHMHHHMHLH: > ,LHHIIHHHHIHMHMMMMMHMHHHLHHAIA > ;IHHIHHMMH:IHMHMMMMMMHMHIHLIHHIA > .:IHHII:':'..:.:IHMHMMHHHHIHHLIHH. > ,I:AVI::.'. .'.'.::IAHMHMHHIALVAIHA > ,A:AVI::.'. . .
