Seems to me he's never dropped an autechre tune

.. but loads of ceephax, squarepusher, vibert etc

Or am i wrong?

No big deal, just wondering....

I've always been interested in the Aphex/Autechre dynamic
also. I know AE like Richard... they called him "wicked" in
an interview at one point.

And if memory serves me correctly AFX also said that he
really liked Draft when it came out... not sure on that one
though.

what is autechre most danceable song in your opinion?

it's different dance music to what he likes to spin, though
maybe he could play one of their ambient pieces for an intro
if he really wanted to haha

i think richard said he liked confield..

Arch Carrier is pretty danceable...

Dial (always), Rae, Inhake2, Latent Quarter, Eutow also come
to mind

right, i bet he could include some of those in his sets..and
cause some heart attacks : )

all of their live stuff is danceable... i mean you could
start with "second bad vible". Glasgow 2005 live is
incrdibly dancy

sure autechre is different to the breakbeat/jungle rdj
usually plays but tons of their stuff would suit a rdj set.

but not one single track.............. ever?



 

offline tolstoyed from the ocean on 2007-12-03 04:20 [#02150059]
Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



it is danceable in a sort of slow-moving-nodding-your-head
way which is quite different to what rdj likes to play as
you say.. i like ae live but it can't be really compared to
dance music richard plays, it's two completly different
things..

Points: 5696 Status: Lurker



generally rdj sets generally start off hiphoppy, go
breakbeaty melodic, and then hit the jungle and gabba
region. Autechre would fiit very nicely into the start of
most RDJ sets when he's just building things up....

isn't that what i said? : ) he could sure include some of
the tunes in this sets..with his skill he could probably
make them work in the gabba section too hehe, but maybe it
would be a too obvious thing if he played songs by his
superstar friends...did he ever play vibert's or
squarepusher's tunes?

Richard James is a sneaky, arrogant cock. He only plays out
tracks by his manufactured clique of bumlickers on

Rephlex, because he wants you to believe that he and his
sycophantic puppies are the only people making electronic

music.

Which is funny when you remember that the last truly
interesting thing he ever released was Selected Ambient
Works

II back in 1994. That's nearly fourteen years ago.

Everything he has released since then has been disposable
leftover tracks, released due to contractual obligations.

He lost his spark after SAWII and it's never returned. Can
you truly say that any of his post-1994 material has

influenced ANYBODY in the world of music?

He was over, a long time ago, but he still maintains an
entirely manufactured "royal court" of arrogant

back-slapping cunts, with a collection of similarly
overrated artists like Squarepusher, Vibert, Cylob etc, and


Paradinas as the gangly court jester, lapping at Richard's
eggy straggling ginger arse-juices with his fawning

bespectacled drooping blubberlip face. Paradinas is a
particularly humourless, superior tosser in person.

None of these smug wankers have made a single significant
tune in the whole of their pointless careers.

The emperor's stinky old 90's clique!

don't you remember what happened when analord was released?
suddenly acid was again all people listened to..and
producers got back to..it's always been like that. he puts
out music and the next day everyone is doing what he does.
im not surprised if he's annoyed by this..

it seems to me you're bitter over something : )

it's that 20 year rule thang i think. not rdj bringing acid
back. for example, the kids of the 80s influened by 60s...
90's > 70s ...'87>'07 etc. etc.

IS afx over-rated? I'm the only person i know outside the
web who's is into his music. The net gives a false reading
of whats popular/real methinks. As for being
influencial....i don't think he is these days at all and it
doesn't matter to me.. i'll still lsten to "live at tornio",
"Ogden Theatre" "Primavera sound" etc and still get blown
away. Just suprised a little ae ain't got in.

I think raspberrys blowing a few.... fruit for thought
though

Haha, I'm sure you're saying that tongue in cheek. Unless by
"everybody" you mean "a few people on this messageboard" and
"producers" as "the superstar bedroom musicians from the
class of WATMM Vol. 1"

well, i meant people from the electronica music scene
obviously..analogue gear is what people got back to
eventhough most of them were using software before...but it
was the same with drukqs really..he always starts something
'new' when he releases an album

i hate the 'hardware' cult that's risen lately, it's lame
and sad. i also hate the 'aciiieeed' culture. i'm pretty
hateful. i'm not so sure analord conjured up the acid wave,
but i think it had something to do with the hardware
fetishist wank that you see today, where most people can't
even be bothered to learn the dynamics of their freshly
bought, overpriced piece of gear.

that is to say i have nothing at all against hardware or
anything, it's just the mentality of "if it's made on
hardware, it's automatically more legit/authentic/plain
GOOD". it's some contorted fanboy shit, but it's still
upsetting.

anyway, acid never died! it just became a really stupid
crutch for a huge bunch of 'cid barbarians these days.

Someone, a musician, commented on one of my bloody awful
tracks as "fuzzy analogue goodness"... the only thing
analogue I've ever been near is the timer on the oven, and
I've certainly never set out to sound "analogue". I think
it's all a fucking myth.

I've said it before, but we'll see all this fucking gear
going straight back onto eBay as people find out exactly why
it was sold off in the first place.

When you've nearly lost faith in XLT, when you think there
is no more humour to wring out of this loveless niche of
music, along comes

"Paradinas as the gangly court jester, lapping at
Richard's
eggy straggling ginger arse-juices with his fawning
bespectacled drooping blubberlip face. Paradinas is a
particularly humourless, superior tosser in person.
"

Poetry, it really is. I can't wait to use all this for my
chapter on "the IDM years" in my semi-factual historical
novel "The Rise and Fall of Ambient Techno"

RDJ went back to analogue synths because he couldn't resist
all the distractions (porn, YouTube, anonymoys IDM message
board surfing) while using computers.

I hope you will. I am planning to do basically something
like what "24 Hour Party People" did for Manchester and
Factory Records, I'm hoping to cover from 1990 up to today
the history of "awkward dance music". So I'd have Ae played
by Vini Jones and David Duchovney, whilst the lads
themselves give a a four hour in depth interview into "what
does the word Autechre.... really mean?"

Acid is so boring. I've never understood the appeal, though
Analord was rather nice. When Vibert starts going all acid
in his sets the brain melts and seeks another room to
enter.

I think lots of people like hardware because it's more fun
to use than computers. The Nord Lead 3 has sexy LEDs on
every KNOB and it's red and fun to play.

BAD acid is boring. The shit acid dilutes the few
outstanding tracks, a bit like dubstep (but there's
definitely a lot more good acid than good dubstep).

Could you recommend some good acid? I actually heard one
acid song I really liked in a set, but the memory is hazy. I
think that YosePH Vibert album has some good moments, too.
But most acid I've tried squelches along like a weak,
floppy, over-looped sausage.
