here's the secret magical formula that autechre used to destroy my
favorite song by skinny puppy. no, this doesn't have much relevance to
anything, but since they fucked up a perfectly good song (in a BAD way)
i believe it's my civil duty to disclose the secrets...

i'm sure there was some variation on this code, but not much.
