I've been looking forward to hearing this album, and I finally bought it today. After one listen through I must say I am starting to get so sick of this group. Yes yes, I realize Autechre is a group whose music usually rewards many listens, but I've always found with their music that I'd see something I liked on the first listen, even if that didn't evolve into much more on further listens. This album just left me bored to say the least. To me it seems they've finally gotten their heads stuck so far up their asses that they've forgotten how to make good music. I hardly recall hearing any type of melody whatsoever in the whole cd, and half the beats I found so monotonous and boring. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's almost a crime that these guys, who showed on albums like Incunabula, Amber, Tri Repetae, Chastic Slide, and LP5 that they have such huge melodic gifts, that they scrap melody for these boring beats. It seems like such a waste. |

i know what you mean, the melody has gone, but i still think its there best album since confield |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
your ears must be full of earwax. there are some really obvious melodies on this album. lets take the first track, for instance. really full of earwax... |
||||||||
|

|
|
the thing about this is all the sounds ...ive heard em before. nice programing tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where? The live show? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Obvious is not the word I would use. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weird. i found it to be quite melodic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too..specially compared to lp5. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really surprised. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found it slightly dull and rather disappointing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why don't you make a thread about it you self-important prick |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You sure are cool! Let me guess, you get beat up in school a lot huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
name the best track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It all sounded pretty bad to be honest. And since their packaging has become as pretentious as their music I wouldn't be able to tell you any of the track names. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who me? i can't be bothered but thanks all the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i don't get is what made you buy the album? surely there's lots of music around you could spend your money on more wisely.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Time to have sex. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
There's the melodies, and then there's the beats. What do you like best in general, beats or melodies? |
||||||||
|

He likes rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think it's the greatest thing either but I didn't start a new thread about it when there are already plenty of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The PLC by far. |
||||||||
|
|

i read in an spanish ae interview that theres not melody at all (appart from first and last ambient tunes, i guess...) that its all about rythm, and how your brain is looking for melodies amongst those rythms... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think ae got so good at making melody it's made them boring they can write instant recognisable melodies that sound like they have always been here (quaristice, like untilted, focusses more on beats of course) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, it could have been better, but I still like it. I'm glad they gave us quantity though, leaves room for more variety. in my opinion though Untilted>Quaristice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, guess I should've ignored the fact that I like most of what they've released, and that everything I've read made it sound like something I would like. I should've just assumed it sucked! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's such an incredibly sucky album, I'm going to sell everything I have (2 LP's from warpmart with bent covers and the LTD version) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not mad on Quaristice, but its lack of focus on melody isn't a problem for me. If you want melodic music, there's plenty of it out there to cater for your needs. They're not really about obvious melody any more, and that doesn't bother me because their music is interesting for other reasons. Tracks don't need an obvious melody to be great. |

have you seen me post about this album much on the board? there is ur answers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the album is awesome in my point of view beautiful all through it I played it in the car in a long trip this week, I was alone, from madrid to andorra it was a great experience |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from madrid to andorra alone by car... strange trip, i must say... what was the reason? did you found snow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my girlfriend and her family went to andorra (pas de la casa) to do some ski they went there the 15th of march I had to work, so I could only join them on wednesday the 20th I drove alone, it was a good experience |
||||||||
|

the thing is there's surely been at least a 100 releases you would probably like better, but you probably didn't buy all 100. it's a wise thing to use sites like bleep to preview something you're about to buy i think. i mean, what's the point in buying records you then don't like? seems like a strange thing to do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I agree with that, but there are certain groups that I will buy anything they release, even if I don't like it. I kind of collect cds, and I'm a bit of a completist when it comes to my favorite groups. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Quaristice is sex. I don't know why I ever spoke wrong of her. It's like Bitches Brew for the future. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds great! lots of different landscapes, long time for reflexion and lovely destination (more for the girlfriend than for andorra itself...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find andorra quite nice actually...when it isn't filled with tourists that is..which is almost never haha |

maybe he bought iy he because he sees potential in autechre and thought they might produce something more enjoyable than what he has heard before. that probably means he has an open mind. if the originator of this thread said he loved the album daresay nobody would be telling him not to post the thread or be insulting him. why do people get upset when something they enjoy gets criticised by another? how or why should that effect your enjoyment of it? maybe because you're insecurities lead you to identify your enjoyment of autechre as a facet of your own personality and are therefore protective of it. in which case the music has become a philosophy, something to intellectualise about. then you have bent and distorted the reality of whatever you're listening to completely out of proportion, rendering your opinion close minded and less than truthful. |
||||||||

|||||||||
| |||||||||

its not necessarily because its a part of the personality though. if you listen to a song and someone says 'it sucks', it may just be an initial emotional response. at least for me i know that no one can take my enjoyment of say bola - forcasa 3 away, even tho plenty have said it sucked, and further said stuff like it sounded dated and crappy, which sounds objective. i can get a negative reaction towards it because of that. and further if someone says something and you see the song in a new light, maybe theres truth behind it that you didnt notice until then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but what I wrote isn't aimed at you is it? it's aimed at those who criticise something that they like because it affronts them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mr funkmaster bought it cos it was autechre´s,and he still gives them the credit also he said he is a completist these both facts made him buy it eventhough he could forsee that he might not like it very much I understand that if this gets repeated in the future, he will stop giving autechre such credit in the future I myself loved it though |

the first track would have been better without the beats, you cant really hear the melodies at all |
