The influence might be a bit more audible on the Gescom > projects (especially Gescom 2, SKA003).... but it's definitely the soul > of most Autechre releases... Ya'll always miss the point of things by trying to say, "it's one thing", or "it's another thing". Autechre has a distinct hip-hop influence to these ears (which have been listening to real honest-to-goodness hip-hop for years). Check the tried by 12 remix or "Goz quarter" for evidence. Obviously it's not everything to them, though. I don't hear a lick of hip-hop soul in the noisy interludes on LP5 or the Gescom MiniDisc. But that's OK, they are a multi-faceted group. For the record, I dropped both the hip-hop side (tried by 12 remix; a slice of vocal garbled-yet-discernable heaven) and the non-hip-hop side (various artists no.9 remix; a slice of grungy 4-to-the-floor techno heaven) last night on www.detroitpeoplemover.com - check it out. Unfortunately the tried by 12 mix isn't in there, but the various artists is.
