   Even though autechre is an all time favorite, I've never found a
remix they were responsible for that I liked. I bought "Remit Recaps"
and "Maximum Priest" and downloaded many remixes from BleepBloop-
excited as can be, only to be faced with a let down. Maybe I'm priming
myself too much but it seems to me that Booth/Brown never put a lot of
effort into a remix; it's often just a very generic and meandering
beat. This does not upset me- I'm still in search of an autechre remix
that strikes a balance between their "special touch" and the spirit of
the source material. Any suggestions? The new 12" is a remix project,
right? This will be pretty random if it isn't.
