Is the page supposed to look like this or is Opera having a really bad day?

It's intentional, and it more or less makes sense if you've listened to Autechre's music.

IDM people are kind of the intelligent chin stroking artsy bedroom-techno loners of the electronic music scene.

I'm totally going to copy that description. Awesome

of course its a noise band :)

Autechre is very mild, as far as noise is concerned. Try "Incunabula" for a very listen-able album.

For noise, try Venetian Snares - "A Giant Alien Force More Violent & Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine". Served best with a FPS.

True, I wouldn't class anything Autechre has done as noise-y, other than maybe Gantz Graf.

Snares also isn't at all that noisy other than that album he did with Speedranch.

I love the Autechre myspace page, despite how it looks, I'd say it's still more aesthetically pleasing than a great deal of the stuff I see on there, and that's not because I like the way it looks, it's an indication of how awful most myspace pages are.
