My favourite review of popular British electronic beat combo Autechre found online:
"My old man used to shout up to my room, “turn that shit off, it sounds like someone building a shed!”"

My wife used to say "its like listening to pots and pans falling down the stairs" when I listened to Autechre. Sometimes she wasn't wrong.

That’s nothing. Neighbours keep going out leaving John Cage’s 4’33 on full blast. I’ve had enough.

Seeing Autechre in an old steelworks in Sheffield in the 90s was the ultimate surreal, cosmic irony, industrial machine music from the future, dancing on a shrine to the past

It is a symbol of how much my life has changed that I had to give back my Autechre tickets to the Barbican so I could attend an annual masonic meeting...

It’s hard to adjust… my Dad + Mum could not understand why I disliked ‘Opera’

Well, they started going weird after Tri-Repetae. It was less music, more noise, until all the beats were broken.
That said, I think Gantz-Graf is fantastic.

A pal of mine described it as the sound of a hard boiled egg being rolled round a metal mixing bowl.

Strong - someone describing some seriously avant garde be bop /jazz as ‘ fire in a pet shop stuff ‘ has always stuck with me
