I'd have to say that friendly person needs to do a little more reading up on the Dada
movement. That comment seems pretty nonsensical to me. First of all there's really no
Dada music to speak of. The people involved with Dada were generally more concerned
with anything _but_ music. The Fluxus movement which came later and was influenced by
Dada was a lot more involved with music, but still I don't see a connection with what
Autechre does. I don't find any of the absurdism, anarchy and defiance to logic of
Dada in what Autechre does. Something like V/Vm is perhaps closer to Dada. Even Aphex
is closer to Dada than Autechre in his pranksterism.
In a somewhat superficial way Autechre are more in line with the musical ideals of
the Futurist movement if anything (if you wanna speak of early 20th century art
movements). Futurism influenced the early musique concrete pioneers who in turn
influenced Autechre.
