Daniel: I wish Autechre would do more material at an electro tempo.
You can only pitch stuff down or up so much! I used to play *a lot*
of Autechre out in electro sets years back, but the new stuff is either
quite downtempo or quite uptempo. The first track is likely to make
it into an electro set of mine, but the rest... Psychosomatic, the track
Danny Low Res/Crank Zelonky and Juan Atkins did on the Model
500 album, Mind And Body, is a perfect example, for me, of material
that is not straight up electro, but at an electro tempo and adds a
nice bit of spice to a techno electro set. Andrew
