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. em. >> > check out "goz quarter" from envane. if that doesn't have hip hop >> >influences written all over it (and not just the dr octagon sample), then >> >call me helen keller. or maybe I just don't know what a hip hop vibe is. > > even if this track has "hiphop vibe" apparent > to you, a stray track here and there doesn't really > justify saying that autechre has a "hip-hop vibe"... > this vibe in question is definitely not a staple > to their music.
