One of the reasons why AMM are one of my favourite bands, conceptually and musically, is because there's never any sense that they think what they're doing is 'fucked up'. It makes sense, in the same way that John Cage is brilliant because he's not thinking 'people will think this shit is fucked up' but because it sounds entirely without artifice. Y'know, my favourite thing is when people make 'difficult' music without seeming to shout 'look how 'difficult' this music is'. Like, my Mum likes that Haino solo acoustic record. Or you can put on Can and people don't object. That's the real challenge for 'difficult' music. Any fucker could put out, say, Frequency LSD, it just so happens that one person did before another.
I mean, we're all on the AMM-train, so that's gravy, but it's a funny way to describe them.
