Well in that same interview they spoke about thier
recording techniques, (for Confield) and a lot of the
random generation process, and how they keep thier
machines running these algorithms and spitting out
tracks, and then they go through the output and maybe
use 1% of what comes out and very little final editing
goes into it. Which as an idea is really great and
fascinating, and it definnitley takes some smarts to
do that, but I fail to hear the beauty in it that
other people do. Maybe I haven't had the patience to
really listen to it enough to enjoy it. Maybe it's
like one of those posters those computer generated 3d
posters that you need to cross your eyes a certain way
to see the hidden image, and maybe I'm not crossing my
ears in the right way. Props to you for bieng able to
hear something else than I am hearing, I don't find
fault in people for liking or hearing something in
music that I care for, including the hordes of
Chemical Brothers and Underworld fans, or people who
like Van Halen, Rod Stewart or any of the music out
there that I can't stand. Having said that, what level
of concern for the listener is neccessary when you are
making and releasing music, for what reason do you
make music other than for someone other than yourself
to listen to it? And if for your own pleasure, what
difference between that and wankery?
