New Shane Parish is as good as you'd hope. Not just because it's conceptually so beautiful - a project in how the fundaments of a music are not always what you think they are? - but because Autechre Guitar exists as great music regardless of the backstory/provenance.

I hate this England team. If the Baz project was to save test cricket, they’ve failed; no one outside committed fans still have a clue who Duckett etc are. What they have done is alienate actual test cricket fans by playing consistently like morons.
