I bought the G&E album a while back, after kinda liking the little audio
clips
that NK put up on their web site. G&E has a few tracks that are produced /
remixed by Autechre and Disjecta and maybe Sun Electric as well. Fairly
solid
remixes if I remember, with the Autechre one being less crazy than the one
on
NMtD2 and more of a dirty, slow, downbeat type of thing. The non-remixed
material is ok. Very pretty-sounding synthpop with high-pitched (if not
unpleasant) vocal stylings by the two female members. If you like Japanese
pop
or new wave in general, it's a good buy. Needless to say, Autechre
completists
should probably get it.
Speaking of which, I'm rediscovering a lot of old Autechre vinyl, which
didn't
grab me at first but which I'm ODing on lately: Keynell original on Skam,
Keynell remix on Warp, the Warp special 12", Gescom 12" on Clear, remix of
Lexis for Cert18, etc. etc. etc. Good stuff.
