> btw, select magazine rates wap100 4/5, and it just gets worse with > every listen.. i totally agree... most of the tracks either sound really bland or are just long loops... the whole comp is salvaged by the jimi tenor, 2ls and mark bell tracks, and to a lesser extent the boc track... i was expecting it to grow on me but it just makes me really depressed at the lack of heart that went into the effort. autechre are showing off some major lack of consistency, for one thing, and the influence of boc is obvious, in the spirit of the track (its called Stop Look Listen for pete's sake) rather than in the music itself. the last mira calix 10" failed to flabbergast me, but this is even more vacant and gives her away as dabbling around in her techno-star boyfriend's equipment (no sexism intended, dont start a new girls in idm thread so soon). as for the tj/afx thing, did they snatch it off some north american groupie's demo tape? anyways, sorry about the bitterness, and this in no way should count as a review, but i cant write proper appreciation when i pay 34.99 (cdn) for such disappointing material... as for buzz caner, is track one on the cd supposed to be cut-up like that in the early parts, or is my cd just scratched? migrainejif
