polo shirts??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've grown to like the artwork (still can't wait to see the limited edition for real) and my A u t e c h r e shirt looks lush, but I gotta say I designed better artwork with a stencil and a pen when I got bored. I really don't know what TDR was playing at on that one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah i was confusing it with a turtle-neck (called polo in norwegian) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and in swedish (an ae polo would be a quite funny piece of clothing!) the album got a bit better, yesterday - as I was listening to the LP while importing it to my PowerBook... (the album artwork is great, only the chiastic chaotic map is better I think) |

Ok so I was a little late coming to this album. With some of my earlier posts I was only hearing a track here and there but I finally have had some opportunities to sit down with this and give it a full listen. I understand why people are frustrated with it. I mean, Confield and Draft were so detail oriented. There was definetly some intense composition going on with those albums. One-hair brush kind of arrangements. If Confield and Draft were two sides of one coin, then I think Untilited and Quaristice are two sides of another coin. I think they seem like they want to get back to something a little more raw, a little more visceral and rather than agonizing over the placement of the next snare drum theyd rather have some fun, get some patterns going and just jam out on them. I can't blame them for that, really. And if I listen to either of these albums with that in mind I enjoy it a lot more. I can't say "man this is a lot loopier and less layered that Confield or Draft" I have to say "If I went to a show and heard them jamming this crap I would be all about it." |

I like it. Quaristice 4/5 Untilted 5/5 I'm really annoyed the 2CD ver wasn't released as standard. I now have to bother my arse to download the missing half of the release let alone decide if I'd have been better off not bothering in the first place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So nobody has the 2CD release yet? Warp are really slow, huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more disappointed than i expected. i feel like the old guys finding that amber was their best release when i was into lp5/ep7/ps2. lp5+ep7+ps2 are the shit :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i see what you mean. i was always an amber man, and this release really got me going |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great and easy album not ground breaking in terms of sound but very complete in terms of composition... and it sounds great, entertaining and pleasant |

just watched terminator 3 again and i just really like this film. it makes you laugh and the action makes you go like wo man yeah that was like super awesome yeah so it's good. nah nah nah god damn i hate the sound of my own text |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

wait a second. this isn't the rate the films you see thread |

I went and listened to Untilted again and I think it's a much more interesting listen. I guess I just like longer tracks which develop and have a few sections more than lots of short tracks. I also prefer the production and detail in their other recent stuff. It is good nice wondrous waiting for "moments" or shifts in their music, but this dick is sound more of a bunch of short sketches to mine ear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. Untilted > Quaristice but Quaristice is still lush. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, Untilted is greater than Quaristice, but the new sounds and experiments on Quaristice are exciting and quirky, it's like they found their childhood again |
||||||||
|

probably the best electronic album of this millenium so far. It's so complex. If it had been made by any other artist, it would be classifiable as junk. But we KNOW that autechre have slaved over this. crafting every dull moment, every jarring mis-beat. It is WONDERFUL. God and his angels couldn't surpass this cacophony! |

It's super obsessive and silly geeky for me to ask this again from you, but how far are Ae pushing the Elektron gear with this release? I'll find out in a bit as I'm going to get a machinedrum soon, but I'm just curious: some guy on the elektron forum claimed the album sounded like demos for one of the machines. Be as detailed and wanky as you want in your response, I get off on that stuff. Sometimes you get disturbingly interested in the process, you know... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just curious and i dont mean to sound like a jerk at all, but would learning how they made the record change your opinion about it? if they made it simply and on the fly would that make it better or worse for you? and vice versa, if they slaved over the placement of every single aspect, would that make it better or worse? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I quite like some improvised jazz albums, so I don't think knowing they made it on the fly would negatively affect my opinion, although I can't deny that finding out certain things does damage or enhance my enjoyment of pieces of music, silly as that may sound. Even if the final product is what matters, knowing that was a labour of love and was doing some special things process-wise can add something to the listening experience, if you're weird like me and care about that sort of stuff. I mean (and this has nothing to do with Ae), if I loved a piece of music, and then found out most of it was presets lazily stuck together or ripped off from another piece of music, I would be pretty put off, regardless of its genre or who made it. |

right on, totally understand where youre coming from and partially agree. i love this album more because it was birthed from the jamming on the untilted tour. i think its brilliant of them to reinvent what they do in such a way. |

90101-5l-l is great. the rest is alright. the ambient stuff is good. |
||||||||
|

disc 2 is amazing. anyone who didn't like quaristice needs to have a listen. it's perfect. people will definitely be pretending that disc 1 doesnt exist. |

Hehe it isn't at all, it's more so to redo LCC yourself on the MD... which I've kinda done... yeah anyways. Listening to it right now there's quite a bit, they have a UW version so there's quite a lot of sample mangling going on in there I think. A lot of their signature clicky sounds and meaty hits from Untilted are Machinedrum. Anyway, the fact that you can do Autechre on the MD isn't really a reason for buying the MD. Reasons: -a 16x3 note polyphonic MIDI sequencer if you want it. -a very powerful FX processor with automation control (BEAT REPEAT with the delay) -four (very powerful) drum machines really (and a sampler if you buy the UW) -an envelope filter (c'mon, you gotta love that!) -a weapon (the aluminium front panel can be so sharp that some people have cut themselves on it) ^Those are the reasons why you should get one. |

i have listened to quaristice maybe 60 odd times and its really dope, i have been doing the same w/ the spec. ed . its so good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i finally snagged a damn copy and just finished listening to it for the first time. the more it went on the more i realised how much of a huge, sprawling album this is, much of that thanks to the many tracks. my two least favourite autechre albums are ep7 and untilted, and quaristice somehow manages to combine them into something really awesome. they may not be advancing anymore but to me this sounds like classic ae, a true return to form. A+++ |

As a 20th anniversary album, Quaristice does pretty damn well ("Quaristice" = unique to this album): Altibzz = Incunabula/Amber ambience The PLC = Untilted tour IO = Untilted tour Plyphon = Draft 7.30 Perlence = Confield Son DEremawe = LP5 Simmm = LP5/EP7 Palalel Suns = Quaristice Steels = Tri Repetae Tankakern = Untilted Rale = Draft 7.30 Fol3 = Hafler Trio collab fwzE = some Gescom stuff 90101 = Quaristice bnc Castl = Quaristice Theswere = Envane WNSN = Anvil Vapre Chenc9 = Untilted tour Notwo = Quaristice Outh9X = Quaristice Quaristice is probably now the best starting point for any newcomer to Ae, it encompasses almost every style they've covered over their 20 years of activity. I love how I can get every aspect of Ae's sound within 80 minutes :) |

I haven't heard it is, as I only just found out about it the other day and I haven't been able to find it in any store here yet. But after reading some reviews, it sounds interesting. It sounds like something I'll be more inclined to like, which is good as I was getting very tired of where they were going with their music. |

can't believe it's been 20 years for them |

its not as deep as untilted, draft and confield.. ultimately its very enjoyable but it doesnt have the same replayability.. thats really my final opinion on the album and i doubt it will change. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same. Cx: Kinda agreed, but some of the tracks (The PLC in particular) are some of their best work for me. |

you will absolutely love it!!! |

and tank :D god i love that track, on disc 1 that is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

my thoughts haven't changed on this pile of trash album. But I've been listening to lots of draft lately and it's very good stuff. |

Just put the wallet back into the slipcase and it's contracted quite extremely. I only just managed to get the thing back in. I love steel :P |

One of my very fav albums of all time,been getting a lot of play lately. |
||||||||
|
|

my 6th favourite ae album |

I haven't opened my package from warp containing the 2CD version yet. I have played the tracks from my ripped quaristice-vinyl and the quadrange ep flacs quite a lot. Together with the toronto show 080412 the selections in the "ae 2008"-playlist works quite well. Not near some of the older stuff, but still interesting music for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the quaristice package really pays off when i'm in the right mood for an ae trip. ...and it probably has a lot to do with sex too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Very few tracks create the same atmosphere as Perlence Subrange 6-36 does ... Very accessible, quality abstract music. |
||||||||
|

i thought it was the worst thing they'd ever done |
