You really think that autoditaker "covers more sound"? Are you sure that you
are not only saying this because autoditaker is more percussion and less
melody? If you listen closely you'll find that Iaora Tahiti covers quite a bit
of creative sound tweaking, and it's used quite well. I believe that both CD's
are great works, but they are very different. Autoditaker is more about
percussion, Iaora Tahiti is a totally about melody. Mabey you like Autoditaker
more because you have a preference to percussion/electronic tweaks and clicks
over melody?
