i personally adore the while 12".  give it a fair chance to grow on
you as it has with me.  it's his first ep.  there are others to come
and i am sure we will hear some good things.  i dont pay attention to
whether it sounds like autechre.  if i want to listen to something
like autechre i will listen to autechre. ...but i guess it is fair
enough if others hear that influence.  but back to while.  tear down
all preconceptions and listen freely.  you might like it.
