Excuse me if I come across as a) a pedant and b) a smart ass, but I can't
think of a single track by Autechre that's polyrhythmic.
Syncopated, yes, often very, but always only one time signature at any given
time, so far as I can tell.
The use of "polyrhythmic" to mean "layered rhythms" or "rhythmically
complicated" is one of my pet peeves. A bit like when "4 4" used to mean "a
kick on every beat".
But, hey, the meaning of a word is most usefully defined by its current usage,
I guess, so I'll calm down and shut up. :)
