Nice to hear something gritty and hard edged, Im sick to the back teeth with most modern electronic music which is far too clean, soft as shite and predictable given the equipment they have at their disposal, not heard anything very interesting since the 90s/early 2k, have you heard anything worth discovering in recent times?

I taped this off the radio in the early 90s. I had no idea what most of the music on my mix tapes was called and have only been able to find bits of it later. So many favourites I have no way of finding...

[@ShuyaTheDark]

@@maccagrabme I agree. Also, this stuff is dark as heck for the average listener (as in, hard to stumble upon). I don't even remember how I stumbled upon Apex Twin, I think I found "Windowlicker" somewhere. Ten years later, thanks to the youtube algorithm and user comments in Apex Twin videos, I've discovered Autechre.

Damn, somehow this one passed me by when it came out. Not knocking on most of the newer stuff, but I think we all could have used more material that sounds like their first two records. Sounds much closer to B12 and Black Dog and their other early Warp Records contemporaries. And the hip hop angle is much clearer. Really great stuff.

[@jaaaaaked]

15:00 - 22:00 ish might be my favorite part. The weird "wabobobahhh" voice, the distorted pacman-ish sound, the killer hip-hoppy beat, the beautiful synth @ 19:00. Something about it is pure sonic bliss. Not to mention the half-life crowbar-ish sound that kicks in @21:50... actually 00:00:00 - 2:00:00 is my favorite part, nvm.
