  1. Without saying anything substantial about the argument between Zen and Bwhale, I can explain to you guys that I completely understand why he would want this in the open.

     

    Bwhale is a really annoying troll who gets off at pissing people off and by ruining their reputations. If it were my reputation being ruined by some little fucker like Bwhale, I'd want people to know it's not really my fault.

     

    Cause however it might have gone, if bwhale's involved it's most probably because of him.

     

    Just to clear that up.

  2. Was that an officially released cd? Or could it have been an (anonymous) dj-mix? If the last thing's the case, it makes the search much harder.

     

    But Wagon Christ, Man With No Name, Orbital, The Orb, all on one cd... that doesn't sound like there's many options. Also, it sounds like it could've been mixed by The Orb.

     

    ?

  3. I have been a fan of Autechre for years. Pretty much everything they released from 2000 and beyond was harder and harder for the casual fan to enjoy. They really had developed their own version of IDM. It was difficult to get into, but once you did, you were rewarded for your patience with a universe of layers and sounds. Now with Oversteps, it is like they went about 5 steps backwards. I don't see it as progression - I see it as giving in to all the whiney fans who wanted more mellow and ambient songs like on their 90s albums. I'm disappointed to say the least.

     

    :)

    I think if they had taken the abstraction of their sound one step further I would have found it too difficult to enjoy as well. I think the quality of their sound has improved a lot over the years (especially when compared to Amber and Incunabula) and that it's not a bad thing this album is somewhat more easily comprehensible.

     

    I say: listen to the music itself as if it were fresh and brand new and don't try to judge it by comparing it to some sort of progression they should have continued, or something. No artist is supposed to do anything, if you ask me. But you don't really think they made this album for the fans that they lost 5 albums ago, do you? Honestly? My suspicion is that they made this because they like to. :)
