"With 'Incunabula', the Manchester duo Autechre created a distinctive form of postmodern electronic music that was a vast improvement on the standard techno/'chill-out' music of the period.

"A sequel just as bonkers and brilliant as the first. Totally ridiculous metal, a kind of hybrid of Iron Maiden and Queen. Great fun songs in, Dr. Stein, rise and fall, and, March of time. Unbelievably catchy." Reply
"Not as good as any of Bjork's previous albums, but "Earth Intruders" is a pretty great song." Reply

"I'm sorry, Views is utter trash. One Dance is by far the worst song I heard in 2016 and it says alot about how generic Drake got after Hotline Bling that he even threw it in as a desperate extra bonus track. After the If You're Listening mixtape, which I thought was really great, this is Drake re..." [+] Reply
