Well, though I rate all autechre music at five stars, I in no way recomend ae to all music fans. At first listen I was nearly convinced that I was listening to random noises. There is often some form of a beat, and then a bunch of static. After getting used to listening to ae, however, I have come to understand it much more clearly. In much the same way that Hendrix's solos blur into noise and lose the casual listeners, Autechre's melodies lose most. They are just too complex for most listeners. It's sometimes a struggle for me to find melody in the chaos, but just when I am about to give up, it creeps up on me. From that point forward I get it instantly upon playing the track. It's just background music, unless you're really familiar with it. If you are hearing an ae peice you hadn't heard previously, you have to put your full attention to it. What once may have sounded like crap, is suddenly revealed as beautiful landscapes of great diversity. If that interests you at all, give it a shot.

I have taken it upon myself to promote autechre as if it were my own. Autechre is as if you were a fortunate victim of a Cecil Taylor concert and really understood what Cecil was saying. I own every ae recording I can get my hands on and THIS is the future of electro music weather you like it or not it is time for us to THINK about our music rather than be strewn like zombies into record stores looking for a familiar sound. Do yourself a favour and try something new. Look at it like your first taste of brussel sprouts the ones you learned to love. (if you have any information on obscure recordings of ae then please email me also I am a HUGE Swans fan looking for original cd's of their work. please write at geoffe_haney@hotmail.com

I don't like this at all. The beats did not go good with the melody. Plus, my friend had a bad trip at a rave during this song.
