i cannot agree with this any more. Amber is totally fucking pop. of course if you're on this list
you realize that saying that "amber is pop" or "plaid is pop" doesn't mean the shit sounds like Top
40 Radio trash. the music is catchy, easy to listen to, and very soft on the ears. it's accessable
way beyond something like confield will ever be, even in idm.

i absolutely loved Confield, and for the record loved the live show in Oakland. i understand that
they didn't play amber or incubula or the garbage ep, but i didn't go to see them play a set
straight off their releases. i went to hear autechre, which usually means realy challenging idm,
which is almost always brilliant. but then again, i love confield, ep7, and everything else that
many people wrote off as being really bad.

no, that's what Merzbow is for.

i did, i find that every autechre release is amazing in it's own way, and i love the direction
they've gone. it would be sad if they put out ten releases that sounded like Amber. they evolved,
and hoped that their fanbase would move with them, some did, some didn't.
if autechre have dissappeared up their own asses, as some people say, i want a recording of their
colonoscopy.
