A very simple test is to check if you can name at least ten of an artist's song titles by head without cheating. If you can't name ten that artist probably shouldn't be too high on your list. Have to disagree here. Yes, I could probably name 10 Autechre songs by head without any problem (although t...

Fantastic that Low is doing so well. Quite unexpected. They have released so much good music over the years. And Double Negative is definitely a great and surprising effort, very consistent too.

That is a year 2000 release. 'Axxess & Ace' was released in 1999 and is also a very fine album, if not quite as good.

Not sure why I missed that, thanks!
Haven't heard Axxess & Ace yet though.

Pitchfork's review is out. 7.1 (even though the review is pretty negative). After reading the review I had to do a double-take at the rating to make sure it wasn't actually 1.7. It sure as hell isn't a positive review. The 7.1 looks like a "no-lower-than-this-for-our-favorite" editorial e...
