Hmmm...this has kind of been my sentiments towards Autechre. Not with regards to all of their stuff, but some. They always leave in some tracks that is simply a waste (trivial/simple melodies and casio-like digital coldness), while their best stuff is nothing but mindblowing. After all, Autechre's release schedule isn't exactly on the sparse side either...
