Ok, you're just an ignorant fool. I'm glad you enjoyed the Autechre sounds that I didn't, but have a little respect. So many of the counter arguments in this thread have consisted of erecting straw-man arguments consisting of 'aww poor baby, was it too experimental for you? Why don't you just stay home and listen to the CD?' Right from the start, everyone who said they didn't like it UNDERSTOOD what they were trying to achieve. NONE of us wanted a DAT performance. I just happened to think that they failed to capture my attention in a positive way. It's my opinion, and you're ignorant for telling me to fuck off because of it. Don't treat Autechre like rock stars, okay? Blindly idolizing every single scratch and thump that comes out of their instruments, and putting down anyone who disagrees is just bad form. This is a forum for debate about the music not a pissing match to see who loves them more. Neal.
