I'd always assumed the point of such a group was to force you out of your comfort zone. That's generally what the purpose of avant-garde music is (as a blanket statement, of course). In order to truly introduce and reinforce new forms of the avant-garde, they need to be given a fair shot. Perhaps if you download this, you'll learn to appreciate noisier, more improvisational and more angular works. Perhaps not. But you'll gain the experience, the ability to discuss it intelligently, and you'll know you've given the genre the old college try.

Had I known I might not like Flux, I probably still would've downloaded it, as I want to contribute something to this group (it's tight-nit enough as it is!) and maybe I'd find something to enjoy.
