According to the NME, the album Gantz Graf by Autechre...


"Autechre records are purchased solely by bald men in expensive anoraks who would masturbate to a car alarm if it was re-mixed by a German. This impenetrable curtain of misanthropic noise - released with an accompanying three-track DVD that features a squabble of hopelessly pretentious video "interpretations" - is typical of the menopausal electro-manglers' dogged refusal to bow to convention and produce anything of interest to anyone not either a) bald or b) German. It bleeps. It skronks. It krrraaaanks. But mainly, it blows like a ruddy awful hurricane. Remember, kids; if it sounds like a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wk, it's because it IS a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wk. Avoid as you would a bald German."


Here's a bit.

And what's wrong with bald Germans? confused (rhetorical question, chaps!)

Talk about stereotyping. NME journos are tossers generally.

Huh? Oh well, it;s the scene from spaced where Tyres is stuck at the lights dancing to the 'crossing' beep, and a car alarm.

Well I may be bald, but I'm not German. I love this band, & their vids match the music superbly.

I like some 'difficult' stuff, but I've heard some of Gantz Graf before, and it is rather 'emporer's new clothes' - and pretty unlistenable!
