I'm delighted you've picked a track off of Oversteps which I think gets... _overlooked. To me it's Amber II, and I know that'll upset some people, probably Sean and Rob as well. I like this track, and the whole album, and Move often a lot. Autechre aren't unique in this regard but they've probably done it to me more in that I can remember the exact time I *got* a particular track. Today I like as it sounds like old 50s, 60s sci fi film background music. Accidently have two or three versions of it playing at the same time out of synch - New Ae album. |

everyone sleeps on Dial. Gantz Graf comes out in 2002 with accompanying video. Yeah, it goes hard. Actually taking what they did with Confield pushing it a bit further (this was the last time they did this imo, everything else post confield has been at a high quality plateau, including draft). You listen to that a few times and then Cap.IV catches your attention. Crazy tiny squiggly sounds, BPM going out of control. Meanwhile, you've listened to dial once or twice but might usually skip it in between GG and cap.iv. One day maybe dial comes on in the car, all the levels are just right. You start to hear what they're doing with their SNARES around 2:15 and for the rest of the track. These SNARES, dog. And all of these little vocal freak out snippets come out of the woodwork, and they go off around 3:26 into one of the coolest repeating loops they've ever done. Love Dial. |

Y'all may have slept on Dial, me no. I was Dial from the get-go. True Autechre fans knew straight away the Gantz Graf was there as a bright shiny thing for the easily distracted, the casual Ae fan, the sort of people that actually voted for Warp 20. Dial sorts the wheat from the chaff. The only better track of theirs, out of all their material, is 19 Headaches. |

Yes Dial is a grower that once you “get” never sounds the same again. I’ll go for some not mentioned yet. And from albums I maybe wouldn’t normally pick from. Also giving whole albums is cheating. Nth dafuseder.b. (Great reworking of an oversteps track I forget the name of) you can really feel that “falling off a cliff foreard” feeling. Theswere: this has proper avant guarde classical vibes. Melody i often get stuck in my head, and those chords! Makes me think of a short story by Yoshiharu Tsuge aptly called The Sewer. Foldfree casual: those classical vibes gone bonkers again. So beautiful Dignified. Latentcall: such good fun, relentless, grooves so well! 13x0 step: bits of Latentcall … tuinorizn.. Doppler effect twin horizons driving Soz, big I’ll link em later if necessary |

(Nth dafuseder.b. = rmx of d-sho qub on oversteps) all picks in this thread are great. ae just doesn't make bad music (bqbqbbqbq on nts 1 not withstanding...) I've been trying to think of ANY musical artist that has been this consistently good for this long. Anyone have another name? Most artists are re-treading old ground 10 or 15 years on. Even afx hasn't budged much in his sound since analord, with less and less standout moments each release. |

I think Ae made "progression" a bit redundant. Maybe their music sounds like generative music, but the way they preempted makes that... redundant.... I don't know. I don't always love what they do but I know I like it. |

Oversteps Back in the day I stopped listening to new Autechre releases after Quaristice, I think because Untilted and Quaristice felt a wee underwelming back then. After Confield. Relevant context is I discovered Autechre on this board, after I got on the board for Aphex Twin (I discovered Drukqs through those little snippets if the songs. I think the snippet of Vordhosbn might have been better than the full song!) And then Confield came out and that was, like, a big cultural moment for the board and me. After that, Untilted sounded very dry. And Quaristice was also dry, though also it had some cool ambient tracks. I listened back to the album the other day and recognized I'd listened to Paralel Suns a bunch. Still love that one. Bit yeah, I understand why I felt the way I did back then. Anyway, I couldn't be bothered with new releases after that. Also I got older and I stopped being so much into music. Probably also because I stopped making it. I'd played in a band and wrote music for that, after the band stopped, I made electronic music for, I don't know, a good 5 years? I did so little with music, I didn't even set up my music stuff after moving, eight years ago. I kept that stuff in boxes, until I unpacked the boxes during Covid (only 3 boxes left now!). I did however get good headphones, for noise canceling first and foremost, but it were good headphones (Senheiser) so I started to listen a bit again. Trevor Scott, I remember, Astroworld. And I listened back some guitar based I used to listen. And Slipknot, which I used to think was lame, while listening to contemporary Nu metal, like Korn and Deftones (so I used to be stupid and stubborn; still am, of course, but also used to). And at some point I decided I should listen newer Autechre relaeses. I don't know how I got to that: I don't really think I listened much IDM at this point, I probably listened more commercial, dance stuff. Maybe I just wanted to listen some Autechre. But anyway, the next album in line, after Quaristice, w |

But anyway, the next album in line, after Quaristice, was Oversteps. I really got into that album, Oversteps. And then I did what I'd done with other artists as well: stop at that album because "it can't get any better than this". (Or I remember I also did this with Meshuggah, coming to the album Nothing.) That was some 5 years ago. Recently I saw Autechre live. So now I'm inspired to finally move on to newer releases: I've bought Exai, but I find it kind of hard to get into such a long album: it's the length of two CD's, I think; to use that old measurement of album length. And then there's this album that's five discs (or six? Whatever). And Sign and the remix album for that, that was released at the almost the same time. Pheewy. So I'm mostly listening the old, familiair stuff. And mostly to Oversteps. |

through these fav tracks i can get into these pretty hermetic albums, so thanks. i guess i have to say i didn't like seeing ae live, because i could hardly handle the paranoid, scary, sounds that were going on in the mix. this is this, too, on this track. at least there's not *also* beats going on |
||||||||
|

os veix3 on the other hand has really lovely sounds i guess it can be hard listening to the track with the percussive sounds being mixed so loud (but that's the charm of the track). i'm not saying one sound is better than the other |

many of these sound too paranoid to me, too. i slept too little and am a bit overstimulated, so can handle little atm i don't know nuane well. will use it to get into this album more. (this one doesn't sound paranoid). i've always listened more to EP7 than the album, for some reason. reason probably being i like the opener of it, rpeg all end i will def try as well. but yeah, it's an hour |

Yeah paranoid is a pretty good way to describe some of these. I like my ae a bit paranoid, dark, and hip hoppy. Not all those tracks are all three, but when they do manage it, it's a real banger for me. I could gush out like 5-6 more direct replies about all of these tunes everyone mentioned, but I'm really enjoying what everyone else has to say. Roger describing such a fucked up track as Gantz Graf as a shiny, easily digestible treat for the warp 20 masses made me laugh out loud. And he's not even wrong in a very specific context. I signed up to this board in 2002 essentially to talk about Autechre and it's still really my favorite thing. Like, I'll take a new Autechre album over almost anything else in any department, nerdy as that may be. It just really clicks with me. Zero doubt about it, my favorite band. |

did your move of ten come with the super secret japanese bonus 11th track ? Very alien little diddy, that. Not a discernable trance of any human emotion, which I think is awesome and pretty unique to autechre. Aliens rappin' at you. |
