the auch cd has its moments, but it is also fairly cold & at times,
boring.  it seems like mr. ehlers is getting a bit overproductive with
his numerous projects, & they sometimes end up sounding half-finished. 
his work as autopoieses seems to me more satisfactory on both an
intellectual & listening standpoint.  to me, the fact that he works on
all these different projects gives them collective worth; but when left
on their own, it's hard to feel involved with some of the theoretical
disgressions of "kiss tomorrow goodbye" or say, "betrieb" (which is a
_very_ hermetic piece of work, even though this makes it somehow
enjoyable in some perverted way).
