I think that from now on, whenever I review a release, I will express it
in mathematical terms.  All IDM releases will be described by a
mathematical expression involving beats (B), funkiness (F), noisiness
(N), cut-up (C), subliminality (S) and Autechre units (Ae).

For instance:

Autechre's latest album: 9Ae + 7B - 4F + 2N
Bola's _Soup_: (5B + 8S + Ae + 2F) / N
Fennesz's _Hotel_Paral.lel_: 4B * 4N + 2C
Mouse On Mars _Autoditacker_: Ae * (6S + 3F + 3N + B) + C
anything by Funkstorung: (3/5)Ae
anything on V/Vm: 9C * 7N - 20Ae^2

See how easy this is?  :-)
