Albums You're Not Digging

Autechre - Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae

This is the most boring and pointless Autechre release I've ever heard. Luckily it's not an official LP, but a download-only EP. It should have never been put out, IMO, completely unnecessary. Especially considering the Quaristice limited edition already came with a bonus CD of reworked songs from the proper album...expanding on 11 of the 20 tracks from the proper album that were all pretty short. That is worth getting your hands on. This? Just pointless...especially the last track which is basically the same 5 seconds repeating for nearly an hour.

Richard Ashcroft - Alone With Everybody

Tried to give this one a fair chance again, seeing as it's been hanging around my music collection for a few years now with no real purpose. Just as before, I struggled through about 4 or 5 tracks before turning it off out of sheer boredom. It's far too long, tries a bit too hard for my liking to be anthemic and bombastic and, the excellent Song For the Lovers aside, it's all very uninteresting.

Anyone who's thinking about giving this a go, just listen to this song and don't bother with the album...
