Autechre, they produce the most complex and intriguing music. Since ca. 35 years. Cannot put into words, it's massive. No need to thank me later.

There is music like this that is an experience. Listening to them in the 90s, along with Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin, FSOL, were the sounds of hacker spaces. Soundscapes doesn't cover it, they're compositions.

What's so strange is that when I listen to this music now, I get nostalgia, but it's not for anything that was shared. It was a frame of mind in a moment, and not a memory of people. This music was a weirdly private experience.
