Look, i realize that it is a great album (the movie Pi actually made me get
it back out). I have no nostalgia for it (as i know many otehrs have as an
introduction point to IDM or "techno" (mine were moby, the aphex remixes of
nin, ICBYD, and bjork) because i found it after amber and tri..  After
amber and tri... it definitely seemed dated. Incuna.. seemed to be a great
start that they capitalized on and perfected with tri..

My main problem with it was not whatever technical mumbo-jumbo you threw at
me, but it seemed to not be mixed well. too murky, and liquid.  I believe
the same is true of "Surfing on Sine Waves" the other member of the AI
series i own.  I figured it was just someone at warp wanting different
things than i did when they finalized the mix, not quite everything i want.
 And it didn't bang as loud or grab me as quick as amber or tri..

Thus, if i just want to listen to some autechre, i'll probably pull out
anti or tri..++. If i want to play Ae to introduce someone to it, i'll pull
out amber and give them "teartear". Live with it.

>How can you listen to it and say "oh this is shit"..

I just said "least fave". all are good. cripes.

np: Claude Young "DJ Kicks"
