that should give you something to work with

I enjoy Autechre. Sometimes they can be cold and barren, and at other times, they have a fairly warm sound. Get Chiastic Slide.

wow i totally did not read the "dark" part.... disregard my list



epic fail, harrison. epic ****in fail

i recommend the incredible flying torture orchestra

I love them. went to their show last april i think, it was in toronto.

yeah i saw them last semester, and am seeing them again next month with a place to bury strangers. i can't wait

That'll be a good show. I saw Holy F'uck supporting Deerhoof last year, they were absolutely fantastic live and so I checked their record out and yeah...really good band. A Place to Bury Strangers are also sweet, although they certainly do borrow A LOT of influence from The Jesus and MAry Chain's Psychocandy. But together that'll be a brilliant show.

yep Autechre is a good shout.

Chiastic Slide is a good start, but then so is Amber or LP5 or Tri-Repetae (sp?). Autechre is the ****ing bomb.

i've been debating whether to see autechre on april 14. i have heard they are really great live, and would love to see them, but the tickets are $18

Well I'm seeing them on Saturday, so I'll let ya know how that goes. I can't wait.
