Antipop

It extrapolates those ideas in antipop directions; the beat started amid feedback and reverb, then drove the music toward brick-walled dead ends, while Mr. Barnett repeated thoughts like “Strike me down” or “We’re being watched by experts.”

Autechre’s soundscape is crowded and discordant, determinedly antipop.

The song, “We've Saved the Best for Last,” became a wide mainstream hit as well, adding even more fuel to an antipop sentiment in jazz.
