"It sounds like a bunch of short glitchy jams in an Autechre style. Nothing that special, but not crap either. If it had been released by anybody else nobody would bat an eyelid, but then again, it's not bad." hmm, I guess it's the "nothing special"-thing is a bit new for me when listening to ae... There's an interview with ae in the march edition of the wire - "nothing special" that too, just boring... (barcodes & reverbmags are a lot better!) |

I kind of take that back, it was a depressed initial drunken reaction to the album, although I still definitely don't think it's their best. I've got that Wire interview, but I think there's more interesting stuff on the online ones. |

Listening to Autechre records was getting difficult for a bit back there but I just had this new chip embedded in my brain which means weird, burrowing glitchy sounds, random-factor time signatures and super-distorted speech software now sound like 4/4 beats and big wobbly bass drops. Thanks to this exciting new development I can now officially reveal Quaristice to be No.1 Party Album of the Millennium! |

anyone who isn't in love with this yet will be soon. i was pretty sure that it was shit a few weeks ago and stopped listening to it. i mean, it was alright, but I'd played it too much and I wasn't finding anything appealing about it. why waste my time on this when i still haven't even finished discovering all the intricacies on Draft, Chiastic, and so on. Anyway, I put it on again and it blew my head open, completely. I experienced the same mind blowing feeling I had when I first "got" Confield. This happened to me about 3/4ths of the way through Simmm. Anyway, Quaristice is a trip through a world made out of audio, and it has decayed. It gets scarier and scarier and lonelier, you are completely isolated when you get to Steels, and then Fol3 rapes you and you have no one to call for help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that Fol3 is Gantz Graf played through some kind of warped effects program |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
also would like to note the completely awesome moment in Perlence at 2:20 where it turns into hammer hammer hammer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I like the Quaristice because it is good. I like Autechre because it is good. |

I ordered my CD finally, they claim it was dispatched already but that can't be right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

finally people are saying postive things again. this fucking record is very good. the only thing i still cant dig is steels but the rest is golden in my book |
||||||||

If you get a monomachine could you Untilted beats nice and easily, hmmhm?? |

FACK the pads in Notwo STOP all the time..... :-( :-( |

Excuse the above drunken nonsense, I am actually now in love with 'Quaristice' and I can't wait for the 3rd of March (bonus disc) and the 4th (seeing them live in London.) Listening to 'Rale' reminds of the feeling I got when I first listened to 'Chiastic Slide.' Beautiful. |

'Rale' always gets me thinking of 'Arch Carrier'. Also, I have to agree with photoshopped, 'Steels' and 'Fol3' are my two favorite/standout tracks. The deceptively simplest and blazingly fastest, can't wait until that veil is broken! o o o |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I've listened to it a lot and now I'm relieved to listen to things slightly less "bedroomy" |
||||||||
|
|

|

If you get a MACHINEDRUM yeah. :P |

gayest thread of my life. |

Queerdickdance is bigger than you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, we kinda get it now -> mduw + mnm = ae = sketchy jammy production and lowered standards for album production. great. and don't forget you can do the v e r y seldom used "beat repeat" with the mduw too! zzzzzzzz |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean the sample retriggering or is there an actualfeature called 'beat repeat' if so where do you access it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone who gets the special edition, please upload scans |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Couldn't be bothered to make a scan, but the package came and the enclosed note says: Hi there, We've sent the rest of your order. The Autechre 'Quaristice' Special Edition will be shipped to you in time for it's release date of March 4th.. I'd really prefer them to do as they said they would (send everything together for the 3rd of March) instead of making me all excited on the first sight of the package at home. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some fun sounds in there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, I'm holding the CD in my hands right now, will get back for a review later! |
||||||||
|

As It's hilarious. And his quote was disproved, too, because Roland said he didn't actually make those particular presets anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hahaha yeah that album is total bullshit. I don't know why I still have my copy. I'm glad he's finally realised Oxygene is pretty damn amazing (yeah... but Equinoxe and Magnetic Fields are better...) and is touring it... AGAIN. |
||||||||
|

this thread is a miserable experience. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and BTW you should get a Machinedrum, they're bloody amazing and can do pretty much EVERYTHING drum wise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how can you afford a machine drum on a paper round |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bought it with birthday money and savings - also saved quite a bit by buying from the US but I had to pay bloody customs. |
||||||||

It certainly feels very classic in some ways. You could tell me that some of this stuff came out around Chiastic/LP5/EP7 and I would probably believe you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah right, really similar chiastic slide... not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It just has a classic feel to it, compared to some of the later stuff. It doesn't sound just like those records they don't even sound just like each other. I am just saying there is a certain vibe to this record that is familiar in a way that period of autechre feels familiar. The first time I heard Confield, Draft, Gantz and Untilted it was a very new and different experience each time. They were all somewhat challenging and took different levels of getting used to. Hearing this record for the first couple times feels instantly familiar. I know I'm not totally off base on this because I've heard others say similar things. |

OK, so like I said, I got my parcel from warpmart today (I guess the release date was more of a joke, huh?), and here's my short first-listen review: positive! Throughout the 20 tracks on this album, there's a whole variety of styles and moods, highs and lows, but I'm happy to say it doesn't feel like a patched together random mix, not at all. In fact, from the pleasantry of Altibzz to the mellowing-down of the last two tracks there is a definite sense of closure, if not exactly thematic development. It works as an album, at least for me, and even the lesser tracks are short enough not to disturb the experience of the whole. But I expected to be disappointed by at least a couple tracks (based on other reviews), but no, I enjoyed every track to some extent. Sure, a couple of tracks left me wanting for more, but hopefully this will be corrected by the second CD of the limited edition. So, what I like about this album is the variety and the format. As to the format of 20 tracks being the idea behind this album - this is precisely what I like, in fact: it seems that Autechre needed to try something different after a series of albums which seemed to settle too easily into that 8 or 9 track format. This album is a kind of a system purifier for them. Both the ambient tracks and some of the "goofier" tracks here simply wouldn't work on a differently conceptualized album. So we get something quite unique here. Highlights for me include Simmm, Theswere, WNSN, Chenc9 and Outh9X. While there's nothing quite as epic as LCC or Pen Expers or even Eggshell here, there's enough for me to be really happy with it after the first listen. Who knows how I'll feel after a couple of weeks or months, but for now I'll say it's a damn good release. |
