for what it's worth, this happened to me. At one time, especially at the height of the r+7 hype I thought opn was totally overrated and sounded just bad and cheesy in a way I couldn't get on board with. somewhere down the line I gave replica a chance again which I ended up really liking, so I revisited his stuff and it just started to click. I thought Commissions II was especially really good, I think opn and autechre share a lot of similar qualities, mainly the way that they'll sort of drop in a single section or sound that totally makes the rest of an otherwise patience-trying song worth listening to. anyway - I'm really excited for the new album.
