Those aren't the only things going on in there, though, especially with a lot of the distorto/white-noise cop-out artists (skam/schematic/vvm/etc..) and increasingly, autechre. incidentally, i've noticed that there's a relation to the amount of obliteration going on in a track to the usage of super-clear tones for the melodies in those pieces (among synth-oriented bands...samplers like bisk sidestep this relation). it's like the melody sounds are simplified as they take a backseat. whoops, lost my point in there somewhere.. eric onnow: bola : aguilla (skam)
