A Swift Kick To U.S. Soccer
Doctor S has finally dragged himself out of the funk that the U.S. soccer team's World Cup performance put him in. The team actually played well for most of the last two games, but the refs screwed the Americans in the Italy game. Come to think of it, they screwed us in the Ghana game, too. The much-hyped U.S. squad now joins the roster of recent BIG DISAPPOINTMENTS that includes knucklehead Bode Miller, the 2004 U.S. men's Olympic basketball team, the 2006 U.S. World Baseball Classic squad and this year's Mississippi State baseball team. U.S. coach Bruce Arena sounds like he's ready to quit, although he's done a great job of making the U.S. one of the world's up-and-coming teams. Now the hot rumor is that the German team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, who's a U.S. citizen and California resident, might replace Arena.

"Untilted," Autechre
Rob Brown and Sean Booth have recorded as Autechre since 1991, starting out as a hip-hop influenced electronica act and evolving into the highly revered, state-of-the-art experimental IDM staple that they are now. Their last 2 proper albums, 2001's densely abstract "Confield" and 2003's more listener friendly "Draft 7.30," are more dependent on texture than melody or rhythm. Their latest, "Untilted" [un-TILT-ed, not un-TITL-ed], sees them merge the fractal and disintegrative sound-scapes of the last two albums around the playful percussive funkiness heard on "LP5" and "EP7-" it is experimental without being arid. For fans of older Autechre releases [1995's "Tri-Repetae" and earlier], this certainly isn't a return to the ambient sounds of yesteryear. Fans of their newer work, however, will find it a masterful blend of all the elements Ae have been working on and perfecting for the last 7 years. This is essential listening, one of the best Autechre albums to date. - Alex Slawson and Herman Snell
