ok kids. autechre, while quality musicians, are not some sort of uber-group
incapable of being influenced by other music. i say this because there are
several groups in the above list which have influenced autechre; and in turn
autechre has influenced them. "truth is born of arguments", in particular, had
a noticeable influence on ae at the time....inspiration is not necessarily a
one-way street.
