IM(very)HO:
i agree that they are not autechre clones, but only for a completely
different reason: if in fact these musicians are attempting to rip-off
autechre's style (which i feel they are) they are failing miserably.
autechre does not have a "style", but rather each of their songs unique
and what these clones are responding to is the supposed "cruchy-beat"
sound that we have all seen mentioned in reviews far too often. autechre
never repeat themselves, so for any other musician to do the same is to
entirely misunderstand autechre.
[yes, i am their biggest fan. why do you ask?]

this categorization mentality must be stopped; it is what breeds these
clones.
