I think that from now on, whenever I review a release, I will express it in mathematical terms. All IDM releases will be described by a mathematical expression involving beats (B), funkiness (F), noisiness (N), cut-up (C), subliminality (S) and Autechre units (Ae). For instance: Autechre's latest album: 9Ae + 7B - 4F + 2N Bola's _Soup_: (5B + 8S + Ae + 2F) / N Fennesz's _Hotel_Paral.lel_: 4B * 4N + 2C Mouse On Mars _Autoditacker_: Ae * (6S + 3F + 3N + B) + C anything by Funkstorung: (3/5)Ae anything on V/Vm: 9C * 7N - 20Ae^2 See how easy this is? :-) -- Adam J Weitzman NewsEdge Corporation sleepy people | network down http://www.newsedge.com http://www.newspage.com
