yeah, people have gotta learn to perceive without safety nets. if you
need a guide, get a copy of hafler trio's 'bag of cats' and listen to
it 23 times in a row. that should fix your wagon. ...and to all the
posers trying to funnel electronic music into some banal populist
genre, you apparently have no grasp of musical intent... or artistic
intent in general for that matter. the reactionary crits on this list
come off as whiny; and the cherry on top is the blatant disrespect for
the creative process. after a couple of ill conceived attacks against
artists IDMers claim to respect, they start to sound like a bunch of
squares from the '50s looking at a Franz Kline, trying to claim the
work is trash and that their pet monkey could've shit a better
composition. let's make some PROGRESS people. c'mon!

Perhaps the rather obvious cartoon concrete of squarpusher, or the mediocre beats of aphex twin, or maybe you'll offer up christian fennesz as an example of well made electronic music. This is a man who makes the same album again and again and again..however lush as his stuff sounds hes still a one trick pony..just like twerk...or mr swing quantise as i like to call him.

Anyone who knows Autechre respects that each new album will be a new direction, one which may seem challenging at first but will soon evolve into the most beutiful and obvious creation.
