I think Autechre's music is very boring since most of their tracks are nothing more than a bunch of loops smeared out forever. The build-up of an Ae-track seems to usually involve a new sample every 128 bars. Also they don't seem to have released anything interesting before Tri Repetae (which, I assume, means 'three times as repetitive') so I just don't get the excitement. If it's the "dark brooding atmosphere" that turns you on then there tons of good music that is just as dark & brooding. Only it's good, too, like "Hex" by Bark Psychosis. Pascal. IMHO
