(idm) Gescom vs Autechre

Hello.

I'm bored, so thought I'd start an anal thread (which, come to think
of it, does sound like a particularly painful piece of medical
equipment).

So, who's got some long-winded, convoluted and tedious theories on any
perceived differences between Gescom and Autechre's sound?

My own theory is a simple one -- the Gescom material sounds like the
rough demos that eventually become Autechre tracks. Or, to look at it
another way, all tracks start off life as Gescom tracks, but only the
ones that are polished, edited and mangled to within an inch of their
life become Autechre tracks.

Let the navel contemplation begin.
