You're going to insist on everyone referring to you as "l'enigmatic" from now on, aren't you?

And when they say "flippée" I assume that they are referring to this, right?

Bien sûr. More than that, I'm going to insist on calling everyone else "l'enigmatic" too.

And the flippée was one of the things I was trying to evoke with the song, yes.

Phylactery (Based On Tilapia By Autechre) is great song! I listen to this song all day! Thanks for the great re-make John!!!!! Tilapia is one of enigmatic and sad songs in this world.

Thank you, you're very kind.

Tilapia is my favourite piece from Cichlisuite. I love the way the chords fade at the end.

I had a criticism on LJ the other day that Phylactery doesn't sound like Autchre. Of course, this was part of point! Autechre have already done that perfectly well.

Satie once described his compositions Three Gymnasts as like looking at a sculpture from three different angles. I enjoy hearing a good cover version when it gives a new perspective on the sentiment behind the original track.

Thanks again, and have a nice week.

Thanks John) I don't even suppose that you reply to my post and it's big honour for me.)

I can say, that I had copy/paste Tilapia' end part several times and it sounds great, like an abmient in the end of song=) I like this moment..

That criticism is a shit. Really nice to listen to some tracks, which you may look from different angles.
