I guess I really need a machine drum then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i agree some of the tracks should be longer especially Simmm which could easily be an 8 minute track. and i dont mean to imply that anyone could jump on a machinedrum and sound like autechre. their music cannot be reduced to tools, but i guess by talking about the tools a lot makes me come off that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

No, it's true though. This might be a really good advertisement for the product. Simmm is awesome how it is, I think. I do admit that one great thing about Autechre on previous records was that their tracks had TIME and space to run their course. Surripere... etc. Untilted, which I'm now even more starting to believe to be a masterpiece with the release of this album, also nailed in the importance of long track lengths with these guys. I have been listening to Quaristice nonstop for the past week or so now. Thinking about Surripere just made me realize that I really need to lay back and run through Draft. Always enjoyable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes Surripere, Sublimit, Ipacial Section and Nuane are probably 4 of my favorite AE tracks, mostly because of their epic evovling quality |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with you. it seems to me they are through with tracks about sound wankery and are trying to just write some raw, solid, even accessible music. but it still sounds like the ae we are so enamored with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think the 'bonus' disc may answer that. that may contain what everyone is looking for now. makes me laugh that people were asking for beats and melodies and now that they got them, they want different ones in a different context. classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah nobody will ever be happy with what they get |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quaris what?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found most of the thing being sound wankery. plus some listenable stuff. i'm never gonna like ae i think. |
||||||||
|

Yeah so, after listening to Quaristice for a long period of time, I've come to the conclusion that I should just stfu and enjoy what's there. I got into this mindset of wanting long epic tracks, but then I figured, there's plenty of those one their earlier releases, why not give something else a chance? I did like this album to begin with, but then something changed in my mind, and that's not really fair towards anyone. Fact is, this is a completely different album, different context and meaning.. I realize that now. And I must say there are some really good tracks on there, and I would also say this is a nice change of pace in the Autechre fanboy world. A new ae album always fucks me up, and this time was no different - but this is ae - and I wouldn't expect anything less :) So yeah, it's a very warm and nice album, and a nice look back on their whole career.. |

Even though I heard the WIRE leak only once, for some reason I remember the tracks sounded better on that. A terrible thing to say I know, maybe low qual let my mind fill in the gaps and real fuzzy dubby stuff it was. I know all 20 will leave their mark on me sooner or later, (:0\) but right now it all just flows right past. Also, bnc Castl isn't nearly as bad as you say it is, I actually prefer it to the first cut. |

surrender to the music! |

|

is that the arse of a big horse or the big arse of an average sized horse? |
||||||||

Yeah, they do tweak them quite a lot, but the sound of them is clearly the EFM machines on the MD. The Elektron MD has this certain sound that you can't get anywhere else, it's very distinctive, I love it. I'd say every album that's been released recently has been a grower. Strange that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm, the "distinctive sound" is quite interesting, tweak the knobs off or use the presets - it sounds md whatever you do anyway... (though I still find the both elektronboxes interesting and the company as a whole is really "lovable" - they know what "support" means - but I can't get away from that "cornered" feeling reagarding the sound. unlimited, yet the same mostly anyhow....) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Ah.... I'll have to look into getting one. |
||||||||

Sorry, the way I put that makes the MD sound limited. It isn't at all, It's just got such an "upper-class" sound to it that makes it so unique from any other drum synth, and therefore distinctive. Also, the MD isn't just a drum synth, you can use it as: -a 16 track 3-note-poly-per-track MIDI sequencer using the MIDI machines -a very powerful audio processor. With the latest upgrade (Master FX automation control) you can do all the Ableton Live Beat Repeat stuff in hardware. -a MIDI controller (use the MIDI machines and get Bomes MIDI-Key translator and you have one powerful controller: 16x6 CC knobs and 16 buttons) For around £800 (I got mine new for that), the MD SPS-1 is definitely worth it. Add the UW option for another £300 and you've got a powerful sample manipulator in your hands too. CS2x: Robert Logan with a Machinedrum, now that's an album I'd like to hear. :D |

You are probably right. I like it a lot more now, though there are still a good handful of tracks I will probably never like that much because I don't feel like they reach their full potential, but they were obviously made that way for a reason I guess. ! :-) ! :-) ! :-) :-) ! ! :-) |

Long tracks FTW. |

what is it with autechre that brings out the moron in people? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol!!! they seem to take the i out of idm for a lot of folks. |
||||||||
|
|

I like long developing tracks. KILL YOURSELVES. |
||||||||

'All of "IDM" is dead or dying. Confield and DrukQs were so good that they killed it all. All your superstars are dying. Take what little comes your way now and try and enjoy it, and remember you still have all of the old albums to fall back on and remember the good days. ' Sir, this is just depressing and not at all true imho. I'll agree that those albums were high points, but let's just enjoy things as they come and not look back, eh? "Electronic music" is a relatively young genre, and there's life in it yet. Lots of life, oozing with computerized sex. |
||||||||

|

i like long developing tracks too. but their entire catalogue isnt all like that. so go listen to the long developing tracks they have already made, or if you like, you can smoke on my long developing meat log. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know but when will the vlari fanboy manifest himself and another AE mix? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually jules i would prefer to suck your cock if thats what you're implying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Short meaningless tracks suck what little life your pathetic cock has. Large epic tracks force your head downwards into my verdant groin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a++ album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your groin is full of green grass? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno, i was going to mash old autechre with new autechre, but someone's already done that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can only grass be verdant? Who knows. What I do know is that peoples track length preference bears direct relation to penis size. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
vlari, i think you can do it a lot better than i. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer girth in a song over length |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not much girth/depth in Quar's tracks imo. Although I can't wait to hear the longer tracks on the bonus disc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are some tracks that flow right into one another though. if you don't watch you track counter or keep track of times and just listen, you might enjoy it more. I too like longer developing tracks but i love how refreshing this record is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, i even killed a 600+ post thread. i must be hated here. |
||||||||

Hell is other autechre fans. |

I just realised... I've finally found myself liking the artwork. wow! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
After roughly 50 complete rotations I like it all except IO gets up my arse still. It's too early in the album. That's all I'm saying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but it's one of the bestest songs on there! i can't be friends with plyphon. |

To be fair, what woman wouldn't you kick up the arse? |

|
|
quaris what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This album still sucks. I can't even beleive some of you praise such piece of sht tracks. 50% of this album is garbage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this music witout a doubt has been designed to listen to with headphones, i have some closed back ones, i went to bed turned the lights off and listened to the whole thing in the dark. i admit some of it frightend me, at times i felt slightly anxious, but in a good way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. When I hear something that goes down as smooth as this on headphones I always wonder if it was partly mixed on headphones. Pure pleasure in the cans. |
