well, i guess this is the topic that brings me out of lurking mode...

i think what rob is getting at, is that they have favorite 'sounds' rather
than favorite tracks. that theory is certainly in full effect when you
listen to the music. autechre obviously labor painstakingly over every
single bleep and click on their albums. in fact, this is one of my favorite
aspects of their music. the music is almost holographic in nature. sure,
you can listen to each track as a very interesting single entity in a macro
kind of way. or you can break the track down into smaller and smaller micro
bits and each bit would be just as interesting and complex, until got down
to just a single note or sound.

or maybe i'm just thinking too much...
