Yea... I kinda agree with Jeff here. I sort of got the feeling that most of the
reviewer's Autechre knowledge had come from some PR blurb he read right
before writing the review. The part about some of the EP's being longer than full
lengths? Obviously its referring to EP7, but there isn't more than one "EP"
following this practice. I didn't even think EP7 was really considered an EP.
Anyway, I think the comparison of Indian classical music to drum'n'bass was
laughable. Subverting the rhythm? I wasn't aware that was the key to d'n'b,
much less THE integral part of Indian classical music. Ok... thats enough from
me.
