agree here. since when is electronic music not sample-based? i thought
that's what it's all about. besides... i think calling him 'innovative' is
a bit of an understatement. his stuff is some of the best new music i've
heard in a long time. his melody compositions are brilliant.... i mean i
could say lots of good stuff... but i don't think i need to .

autechre spawned a whole new generation of music. personally, i like stuff
that sounds like autechre. i like the aesthetic trajectory they began. i
mean every new 'genre' begins somewhere. i think ae started one.
