if "sophistication and human element..." is just IDMspeak for "near-complete
lack of originality and obvious desire to duplicate exactly every move
autechre ever made," you just might be right.
don't get me wrong, the guy's got skills; i just wonder if he has an
imagination. i have this feeling that ten years from now all of the socal
crew will be saying something along the lines of, "oh, man - the _new_ stuff
alex is working on (i mean the stuff that will be on the 6th album, on warp,
not the other 5 albums or 9 12"s) is just amazing - totally original, _this_
is the shit."
possibly unrelated: i'm _really_ starting to appreciate fx randomiz.
