Gescom is like 16 people, Autechre is two. Sean and Rob from Ae are part of Gescom but they aren't neccessarily involved with everything Gescom does. I think since the Gescom Enterprises tag was all over Ae's first album, the idea got out that Gescom was just them. Apart from a few exceptions (I think Snackwitch is one of them) you probably wouldn't guess it had anything to do with Autechre as much of Gescom's output has more of a comical appeal to it. Ged from Skam told me about a show that they played at a church in Manchester a few years ago: the whole crew wore lab coats, bandages over their heads and played random tracks from mini-discs of 2 second snippets of Top 40 hits for like 45 minutes. I think the whole crew is just out to have fun and since Ged and Andy are part of the collective, they get to put their records out on Skam. josh -- String Theory : Digital Music for Humans http://www.enteract.com/~yoshi/index.cgi On Fri, 9 Jun 2000, Scott McKeating wrote:

Gee ... I'd recommend you sit at home and listen to EP7 about twenty or thirty times until you realise just how carefully made, inventive and gorgeous those tracks are. I found it all too arbitrary when I first bought it, but something made me come back and listen again and again, and suddenly I realised it might be their best and most mysterious record yet, eclipsing even Amber and Chiastic Slide. It stands repeated listening better than any record I can think of in the last five years.

outpt is just a tweak track. They programmed a nifty filter to put on some drones and mixed up a nifty glitch hip hop beat under and ran it for 7 minutes. -mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
