(idm) More gibbering about Ae's 5th full length

I just wanted to say that the only real complaint I have about Autechre's
latest is all of the "interludes" - two or three minutes of digital
manipulation that often shows up at the beginning or end of tracks.

Almost without exception, I find I'm just waiting for these bits to pass,
and get back to the "track proper". This isn't a blanket dismissal of this
kind of sound processing, it's just that what Autechre are doing reminds
me of the results I've found by downloading a copy of Cool Edit or
Goldwave and applying change after change after change, pretty much
randomly.

Michael
