agreed. I never said that autechre was a rap ban who's missing an mc. I just
thought it was a hilareous statement to say that there aren't hip-hop
influences in SOME of their stuff. I think goz quarter is a fine exanple of
this.
I'm pretty sure I've read that rob & sean were (and maybe are) hip hop heads
long before autechre happened, which would explain why to use the word
"influence" wouldn't be so crazy.
