1) fuck random music like that. It's all about INTENT and the coneyance of
emotion other than boorish mundane "lets fuck with a tape reel". I am NOT
dissing on Cage; like I said I havent heard him.
2) Sure its loops - not counting the tape, either. Loops is a general word,
dudes.
I'd ike to hear this cage
and sure, Ken, you can find loops in anything you want to! but its there!
And that was my orignal point w/ autechre. They dont just loop te same thign
over and over again. Tho props to what Ben Mcdonald said - theyre looping
some kickass shit.
