However, after repeated listenings, it's rather enjoyable and interesting. >I have yet to encounter an idm album that isn't at least 50% filler. >Autechre reaches vertiginous musical highs but IMO the vast majority of >their tracks are dull and unenjoyable. Again, I think you've got to listen to it more than once. Autechre created about 6 hours of music for their latest (they said in Future Music a few months ago), and I can't imagine the other 4 1/2 hours (or however much it is) are worse than filler. I haven't heard it yet though. :-| > The same can be said of pusher, AFX (well not always), all rephlex and warp acts. As long as I get the the one >killer track per album I'm happy with it. What matters is the 50% of good >stuff. I don't like the whole boc album either but the 4 or 5 excellent >tracks that it has are really essential to me now. Yup. Jeremy.
