hm.. I think Time Tourist is rather mediocre and perhaps even crappy :) I wanted a track from the Blech cassette on vinyl, made a big goofoff and got the wrong record, and was insanely dissapointed. (anyone who wants it, my copy is yours :) for a suitable price) but, that aside. We definitely are on opposite sides of the map when it comes to this, as I think the Speedy J. track is one of the best IDM tracks of all time, and well. You think it's utter shit.

This track is in 4/4 what are you talking about? It has a definite thing going on in each of 4 beats per 4 beat measure.
