"Experimental" because there is no criterion and hence no reward.
Exemplifies a solipsistically caucasoid mobius strip of process for its own sake in which the meekest knob-twisting and notably unremarkable microevents are passed off as intrepid to a chin-stroking gaggle of seated yes-men whose sense of adventure was forgotten in their pocket protector. Profoundly boring proceedings limp along indefinitely as one wonders if TIMBUK THREE were maybe not that (comparably) bad; at least their "future" was, if not musicologically futuristic, invoked in name. These intolerably sterile exercises in academic thumb-twiddling function as a sort of anti-olympics in which dullness is championed for dullards who forgot to try to get laid. the cerebral nature of the sonic desolation insulates its uselessness.
perhaps the players of, yawn, AMM could remove their tie-clips and imbibe something stronger than "coffee".
