i'd like him to answer that one, but i could make a very long list if you want me to. This always seems to get me in trouble when i bring up this point because i want to make clear that I'm not faulting the artist or the music itself, it's the label and the promotional arm behind them. Effective marketing is not inherently bad, but it is sort of creepy when marketing becomes so effective that people don't even realize that they are being marketed to in the most literal sense possible. This is in a large part what worries me most about the future of culture, is that people who generate money as their main priority are getting better everyday at making consumers unaware that things they are exposed to are being marketed to them, and the consumer is the target. I would like to take this opportunity to blame one of the biggest culprits, Pitchfork. And in reality they aren't even really to blame, it's that corporate culture and advertising firms have become so influential that even the 'little guy' has learned the art to a T, and by that i mean uncannily emulating the art of corporate marketing. Or, a well-produced album can be very expensive to make, and so if you want to recoup your costs, you have to sell so many units, and to do that, you need an audience, and to have an audience, people have to actually know you exist and what your shit sounds like -- thus, marketing. You can need to market without wanting to start a corporation or caring more about your brand than your art.

what did i do a typo?

I think Move of Ten is much more interesting than Oversteps. Both of their first tracks have obnoxiously sloppy drum programming, but I think Itchygonads' make much more sense, and it has the cool ninja sword sounds, whereas r esssss's just kind of derp along. ilanders has a great A part but the melody of the B part is kind of aimless; whereas the use of the static-y breathing pump in Nth Dafuser da B dub dub rubba B dub bubblelubba is fuckin cool, plus BOC flute! Same with knownfacebook(1) - it has a cool A part but the B part doesn't move the track along in any new direction, it's just ... different; whereas iris I think is the track that gets it right with their attempt to program melodies like drums -- that step-wise synth part is just so cool. pthththptphthtphtphhhhhffffffffffffartph8 is a throwaway. And y7 doesn't have a ton of change, but the sounds are incredible. qplay is a weird mix of cool pads, an annoyingly cheesy byeow-byeow synth part on top, and the whiplash drums from Druqks, and no border is kind of like the distant echo of qplay see on see on see, again, has a great part A melody, and then a pointless part B melody, which I think is better than pc freeze which just drags on with that beat Treale uses that buzzy synth part on top in a less interesting way than y7, whereas M83 is an awesome autechre house tune, even though it's just variations on the one set-up with the bassline os viex3 I just can't get into, it's polite and unassuming, while rewfacebook(1) is a great Gescom Skull Snap outtake that goes on for a bit too long but is a humorous farting hip-hop track ylmo is like OO====D without the drums and bells, and both are okay, but again, I think iris does the same thing way better fo sho cuz has some great huge beats, but here too I think the synth sounds are cheesy and have no direction, whereas the granular beats of Cep bisquick are really cool even if the background is just an indecipherable mess of dissonant noise. So, overall, I think MoT wins this tete-a-tete. Objections welcome!

I just want to recognize that this probably took a long time to type! Not reading any autechre threads until the ablum comes out 2015 -- also, listening to Limb Bizkit, "Break Stuff," as I type. I heard they sue a wah-wah pedol edit: edited to fix spelling.
