Andrew Duke :) > heard bits of the plaid album last night. From what I heard I was impressed. My complaint that plaid when not remixing has no emotion is no longer applicable (at least to the bits I heard). Lots of funk on this one. I listened to the nothing CDR promo so it should be available state side. Also, listened to the new autechre (again a CDR promo on nothing) and I liked it. Not as dense as LP5 but some of the same thoughts/ideas (definitely evolved though) are there. And I do agree that there is a definite down tempo/hip hop feel (though it is really twisted). I have really been enjoying autechre's output since the envane ep (probably more so than their earlier output). It is amazing that we have all these bands who sound like autechre while autechre doesn't sound like autechre anymore. -daniel Head Monkey Mad Monkey Records http://monkey.eliteware.com
