(idm) Playas and Ae share one thing--it's not cool to hate them

Most likely to the dismay of most people reading this, I have heard more Ae (Tri Repetae, Chiastic Slide) and I have been put off by more Ae.  Crunch, crunch, organic noise, bleep, tink, pads--my delicate ears can only take so much.  I'm sure that harshness is part of their popularity, but it's not exactly creating a stirring in my utility belt.  Tri Repetae has 3 songs I admit to liking, but I think the album as a whole is not salvaged by those.
