comments on the above tracks.
zeiss contarex :
this track is truly remarkable. it somehow evolves from a very inhuman
mechanical and dark soundscape to a lush beautiful one. the one
underlying sound is worked through and through until finally it's a gorgeous
melody... hard to talk about it without the audio aid. anyway, much to be
heard here..!

psychedelic as hell. initiates every neuron firing base in my brain. it
could sound like the rhythm's caught in a huge fan overlooking neo tokyo.
relics of the noise-laden chiastic slide ... could be the acceptance anthem
of the apocalypse.... or the welcome anthem of alien beings. intensely
visual nonetheless
too many ways to establish that autechre hold the keys to the future of
music.
