I have noticed that alot of people have been complaining about artist trying to be an Autechre knock off (eg. Funkstorung, anything on the MaS and Schematic labels). I think it is unjustified. When Drum and Bass first started coming out and Goldie was at the top of his game, were there not alot of artist who sounded like Goldie?! Just look at all the types of Drum and Bass artist and category's that have been created. My point being is although Autechre were the pioneers of this "type" or "sound" of music the artist who follow are not necessarily Autechre clones. The Autechre sound is now part of a large list of sub-category's under the term "IDM". In my opinion Autechre have been breaking new ground with every release which opens the door to new artist putting a new twist to this sub-category of IDM. Just a comment from the Peanut Gallery.
