I just picked up Explores We. First let me say that I appreciate noise. I both like & understand Richard James’s music and Autechre is one of my favorite bands, but I do not get The Farmers Manual. The first several tracks are all but silent and the next 30 tracks sound like a distant recording of someone cleaning their house. Somewhere around track 39 there is some kind of music, but it does not seem to me to be anything special. Now before you Farmers Manual, fans start flaming me, I really am not out to trash this group, I just want someone who appreciates them to tell me what they like about them, and why. I have found that most of the time when I don’t like something at first it is because I don’t understand it. So tell me why this album is good. Thanks, -- -Rychard- http://home.att.net/~rychard
