btw, the Cheetah ep is a real beaut.. been playing it nonstop. autechre (elseq) is a whole other animal (Demogorgon?), they can't be compared. a friend of mine let me sit in on his radio show last night, and we kicked it off with CHEETAHT7b. two hours later, he let me play a five-minute excerpt from AE_LIVE_DUBLIN -- the really dense part of the finale, like 65 minutes into the set. the radio show is supposed to be feel-good, indie-type stuff, so it was a good foil to their regular playlist. the AE_LIVE bit, which is a BEAST (texturally, sound pattern-wise), was met with utter silence

Agreed. I really love CHEETAH and I really love elseq, but they're not of the same realm at all. At one time Autechre and Aphex Twin could be compared pretty easily, and the two acts would certainly have been considered peers, but what RDJ is doing right now is stretching his limbs and relaxing, getting comfy, busting out some classic, coily, serpentine house jams. Autechre is trying to rip a hole in the fabric of space time. So they're two altogether different conversations at this point in time.
Not a value judgment. I know what RDJ is capable of. He could be melting brains too, but he's taking her easy for the time being and that's ok.
