***true. this morning i read a review of it where it was described as "prince
meets autechre". i understand referencing prince re: this, but *autechre*? I just
think this was another case of lazy "journalism" where IDM = autechre and
anything electronic = autechre and autechre becomes the "brand name" of
IDM these days (for those who *don't* understand, want to, or even try to)
in the same way that a certain RDJ used to be. Makes me
understand all the more while acts like Solvent hate getting likened to Autechre,
and so many others too (that is, get likened to Autechre). Heck, not dissin'
autechre here, just those who think namedropping Autechre in a review brings
up their "writer's status". Andrew Duke
