if they are saying "fuck you" then why would they be saying it to the fans. if its just humor then its obviously towards people trying to sound like them. like, "this is what you sound like when you try to sound like us". in a track like etchogon i get the feeling that even if they are making fun of someone they really bring it home in the end and make a clear picture out of it. or maybe i'm crazy, i dont know. |

The most glaring example of it being a joke was bnc Castl. After the heavy srs stuff they did and with the titles etc as sadist said, it was a surprise to hear something like a toy factory being torn down or something. The same feeling kind of came around when Oversteps was released.. I mean.. These synths.. BELLS?!? Okay. Not exactly Pen Expers or Bine.. But alright. But isn't that kind of what makes Ae great? How many confields or drafts after another would be exciting before it would be boring? In the end they always do the weird mindfuck sounds, and Oversteps and Move of Ten are just as full of mindfuck as Confield or Draft was.. They are true futurists in that they always seem to evolve.. Took me some time to let go of the past and move into the future, but I'm glad I did. MoT is full of great sounds and nice moods, as well as fucked up rhythms.. Those tracks specifically the ones I listed earlier are top notch! FOr me anyway. Sadist let GOOO of the past. |

doubt its "a joke" and more so just "humor" ? |

jesus wept.. |

okay it's maybe not a joke. but that humour thing is exactly what i'm talking about. they have the right to make fun of themselves and their music but it just crushes the whole image. i liked it more when they seemed to be lifeless computer controlled machines from space creating weird 5th dimensional alien algorhytmic tracks with gear made out of awesomenium. now you can clearly see they are just humans. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
so the image is more important to you than the music. that's autechre all over, like a book with no pages, they only sell you the cover. |

|
|
lol dude! i just coughed my bong reading this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
regardless of all that its just such visual music, i get so many mental images from their stuff that it makes me insane. with the oversteps stuff i get kinda vibe, and , , , . |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i wasnt really smoking a bong. that image isnt right for today. its matured i think. |

nice to hear 24bit y7 the acid squelch is every bit if not more satisfying than traele |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

not the image but the feeling it creates. i'll listen to the album nontheless and probably like it. it just won't have that impact. |

|

art would have so much more relevance if we hadn't a clue of the creator |

exactly my point |

|

Fuck it's funny how often people pull out the "they've sounded the same for ten years" shtick. Listenin real hard huh |
||||||||
|
|

not the same, a lot worse |

Haven't heard the whole album yet, but fucking hell.. nth Dafuseder.b is fucking incredible. rew(1) really loud is immense. I'm enjoying this a hell of a lot more than Oversteps. Barcode, stop being suck a dildo dog. This release has some clear examples of them putting the ae flavor back into 2010. |
||||||||

we all see things differently, but you are missing a lot of good stuff that you COULD maybe like. I can list at least 10 classic tracks from quari/oversteps/move that i love. I'm not expecting everyone to love these, but to me they are awesome and I wish everyone would see that. |

My 2 word track review of 'Move of Ten'. 1. Etchogon-S - bit silly. 2. y7 - kinda boring. 3. pce freeze 2.8i - heavy, good. 4. rew(1) - fucking immense! 5. nth Dafuseder.b - best track. 6. iris was a pupil - majestic, oversteppy. 7. no border - very boring. 8. M62 - kinda whatever. 9. ylm0 - interesting, oversteppy. 10. Cep puiqMX - really good. |
||||||||

In truth, if you enjoy it good for you. Personally I think they did some interesting stuff a loooooong time ago, but electronic music caught up rendering them completely irrelevant, not to mention boring as hell, but music is entirely subjective; other than banter it's not worth going ape about. |
||||||||

what's relevant bro? |

rew1 is so good it keeps crashing my iPod, i kid not. |

ive never dared review an album (negatively) after mere hours of listens!! impossible to absorb new material that quick imho. |

Sorry, the word impotent would be more appropriate. |

what's the good, potent, interesting stuff? |

Not gonna happen. Suffice to say, Autechre's key selling point is/was technology, now everyone has access to that technology their value is completely diluted. Someone else put it to me a lot more succinctly. If Autechre came out 'now' as brand new artists - bye bye, no one would ever know they came and went. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you're saying the SNR has decreased ... not necessarily the talent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"true artists/designers - surrender! even my mom has a copy of photoshop!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"If Autechre came out 'now' as brand new artists". The FACT is they haven't come out now and are not brand new artists, so whoever put that to you is as stupid as you. Everyone knows your opinion is worthless/uninteresting or Barcode magazine wouldn't be the flop that it is. |

This thread is a wonderful example of opinions skating on the border between love and hate; opinions flying back and forth between deepest ends based on whims, with ridiculous amounts of internal philosophy, trying to balance external aesthetic, with perceived artist intentions, with back catalogue consideration, with label and future considerations... Oh, man- it's dense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Suffice to say, Autechre's key selling point is/was technology" That's a total load of bullshit. Their selling point has always been their composition. Technology is just a means to that end. Haven't been home to check out the album yet but I'm looking forward to it |

let's get back on topic |

Exactly! What is the best way to treat a room for track 3. pce freeze 28i from 1:38 to 1:42 on a hot day if you have a bit of flu. |

||||||||

id kill to hear nth' d at a night out certainly has the forward energy going but that background atmosphere sound in a club? ... trojan horsed |

I guess you just don't get it.. There were a lot of electronic artists back in the 90s.. The reason Ae became popular was because of their musicality, compositions, ideas and how they used the technology. The fact is a lot of people have been touched on an emotional level by their music, not just some intellectual level.. In fact I propose 99% of ae fans care only about the emotional level and not the analytical technical level. Just read most threads on here or watmm about new ae releases.. Most people talk in emotional terms. Not to say that technical level doesn't heighten emotional impact, it does.. But very few people listen without being emotionally engaged, and that was always ae's selling point. |

after 2 listens: It's good. Doesn't really come close to the high water mark of Confield/Gantz graf (imo), but that's alright. Nice companion piece to Oversteps. pce freeze, nth Daufesder, and Etchogon are the immediate standouts. I found it a bit more enjoyable when i took the headphones off and put it on some really loud speakers. |

Yep. I couldn't give a fuck what kit they use I just enjoy the fuck out of their stuff. Especially Draft and Quaristice. |

In this day and age, live instrument performance is high-tech as shit. Like imagine a 17-person jazz group playing improv bebop for 1 hour, where the climax comes as they all peak on shrooms and e. Fuckin' alien shit. I'm pretty sure they'd be albe to levitate. Like when Richard Devine learns how to play all his shit in realtime with a handful of sticks, THEN he will be phuture. Everything other than purely live electronic music is child's play. |

im like 5 or 6 listens in, its just better every time |
||||||||
|
|

|

"Everything other than purely live electronic music is child's play. " then go "child's play up" something as masterfully sequenced as drukQs or Draft and go live in a bank. Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't understand how one could place more importance on any technique over the experience of the final composition itself. I appreciate "skill" as much as anybody, but I listen to music for the "creative download" of it, not to watch somebody's hands tweaking some knobs or playing some drums-- that's far less interesting. |
