Jesus H. Christ - I'd hate to suffer ANY form of diarrhoea that sounded or
felt like Untilted. If you have been so unfortunate, you have my deepest
sympathies. Seriously though, my initial reaction to the new Ae was
similarly negative, but after five or so concerted listens my sense of it
began to cohere into something challenging and remarkable. I wouldn't claim
to have assimilated it - lord forbid, but I do find it remarkably visceral,
detailed and just like the live experience its refusal to lock into anything
as predictable as straightforward melody or groove or even texture keeps me
returning again and again. So that's my tuppence ha'penny - personal
application and a willingness to overcome one's initial antipathy/puzzlement
may garner significant reward. The best things in life don't come easy.
Cheers, C.
