So who's trying to get all of the AE titles at the top of
the MB list?...own up...I thought I'd gone to the wrong site
for a moment....;)..

Anyways...don't know if you noticed the news over at
AE.NU...phobs posted a link to a nice little site that
covers their releases in some detail...Still reading it but
it seems pretty cool so far...

it's at http://lonelymachines.org/autechre.html....

me
the record guide is really good.. it gives sort a
chronilogical guide and how us audience peceptions were
different than the u.k. due to disrubution problems. yep .
i just really love this group. they are my fav.

ha..thought someone was up to something...;)..

...AE have grown on me more & more over the years...their
early stuff wasn't really outstanding enough for me; bit too
similar to other stuff around at the same time but they've
certainly developed a lot; mid period onwards is essntial
stuff....

AE vs AFX is an impossible one to judge; isn't really worth
trying as they appeal to slightly different sides of
myself...AFX is just such a MAD talented WILD motherfucker
whilst AE are more reserved & colder; mechanical,
mathmatical.....

Viva la difference!!...we should consider ourselves lucky to
have 2 such outstanding artists really...

phew...just finished reading that...

Overall I kinda agree with more or less everything he
says....His writing style doesn't try to over-analyse the
actual music which I find is the one main problem with music
reviews...I'd much rather read this sort of carefully
written guide than a dozen magazine reviews, (which always
seem to rate stuff as either 100% Brilliant or 100%
Shite...)...music mags are a bit of waste of space anyway;
far better to follow your ears especially as nowadays now
we've got MP3s, & can try before you buy....you really don't
need to pay someone to tell you what they think is good
especially when it's adverts (by people being reviewed) that
pay the wages; unhealthy really...

mind jand rant over...

...Good place to point people when they ask "What AE should
I buy next?"....

I wouldnt send anyone there jand, their analysis is far too
biased against the later albums.

Do you mean biased against the earlier albums?...

I kinda agree with him tho, Glitch...early AE is simply not
as AE as the later stuff...if someone was new to AE, they do
better to get some mid-period stuff (like tri-rep)... he's
really not that hard on the early stuff, he explains why he
doesn't consider em as strong, that kinda tallies with my
thoughts really.....
