Anyone in here like them?? I have been listening to Aphex
for awhile now, i decided i would explore some new artists
until DruQs came out. So i came across Confield by these
guys, and i must say, i find it to be a brilliant album!! I
cannot stop listening, it is soo...corrosive, i love it...


 

noisehose from the corner of the room on 2001-08-08 03:50 [#00020357]



autechre rule... i would highly suggest tri repetae, lp5
and amber. not as experimental as their more recent stuff
but some real good listening none the less...

tracks..i thought it was shit...im tryin amber

Crunch's "1" is nearly as good, if not as good. I havn't
decided yet as I have not had time for a thorough listen.
While's "even" too.


 

D U S T from I O W A on 2001-08-08 05:39 [#00020363]



hey MmmmM,

I've got While even cd also. Its pretty decent. Do you
like proem or syndrone? I just ordered Sense, Tim Tetlow,
and Phonem. Haven't got them yet. can anyone tell if
they're any good?



 

ChemX from Miami, FL on 2001-08-08 06:20 [#00020368]



yes yes, make sure you pick up amber


 

VAMPIRE ANGEL from San Juan,Puerto Rico on 2001-08-08 06:51 [#00020370]



I love that duo.They are on my top 5 Best IDM ever.Should
get also Tri Repetae,a double cd of their experimental
music,awesome cd.I own also a performance made this past may
on portland,oregon.Most of the songs they perform are just
made right away,improvisations over beats and kool
noises...I fyou ever come across a live set by autechre in
your town,dont even think about it,just go,you wont beleive
your eyes/ears......


 

m....M..Mw )wW(m M m)Ww( wM..M....m on 2001-08-08 06:52 [#00020371]



Oh, so they aren't so unheard of as I'd thought. The only
reason I found the albums I mentioned is because
Shapethrower (mp3com) suggested them. Otherwise, I'd never
have found them. The site I ordered them is
www.forcedexposure.com. Do you know of any other sites with
excellent material like this, hopefully ones with actual
sound samples (try before buy)? I havn't heard any of the
artists you mentioned except for proem's Negativ very
briefly. Too brief to say anything about, though so far I
don't like it as much as the 2 that I mentioned. I'll add
your suggestions to my *stuff to check out list*, including:
delarosa & asora "agony part 1" Michael Fakesch "marion"
arovane "tides" and "atol scrap" Jake Mandell "parallel
processes". Have any more?


 

m....M..Mw )wW(m M m)Ww( wM..M....m on 2001-08-08 06:54 [#00020372]



particularly highly intricate and complicated sound, an
example being autechre's LP5. That's the stuff I really
like.


 

ChemX from Miami, FL on 2001-08-08 07:29 [#00020378]



If you happen to see a Barnes & Noble around, stop by there.
Believe it or not, they actually have some hard to find
titles ~ I bought AB3 there, hard to find in my area. I
suppose their website may have the same... Later

you like autechre?

- try "phonecia" - "america's autechre" according to my
local record shop chap
...they are fucking amzing.....more organic than
Autechre....and can be as emotional.

in a word ... yes...not an essential AE release but the
tracks are cool if you like AE just as they started to get
good...

I love that last track, Flutter...very proto-drumNBass...

Might be worth checking out the MP3s first if it's gonna be
expensive tho....

I'm a bit late with this piece of trivia and i bet everyone
already knows that, but: "Anti" was made as a part of
protest against this new government document (criminal
justice bill or something) that targeeted "music with
repetitive beats" (a bit hilarious, don't you think), so Rob
and Sean made an EP with non-repetitive beats... A blueprint
for what came later on ep7 and confield

america's autechre. please don't say that it's sad and
phoenecia are completely different. so funkstorung is
germanys autechre and richard devine is an autechre wanna
bee f**k
I think they were trying the non-repetitive stuff with
gescom first. whatever happened to the criminal justice act
anyway?

I dunno about gescom doing it first, perhaps it's true, but
anyway "Anti" was intentionally done this way as a kind of
sociopolitical statement.

i know it's funny that u can make as much noise with non
repetitive music, which sort of poo'd on the whole bill. i
honestly don't think the criminal justice bill has been used
in the last few years, prolly because raves and outdoor
events tend to be licensed now adays

i've got all my autechre tracks on MP3, roughly around the
160-192kps bit rate...
is there a real noticable difference between the mp3s and
the cd releases??

all that "non-repeatative beats" lark was so funny...

trying to define Dance music in a legal sense...the
fuckers...that was back in the days of a Conservative govt
and they hated the idea of kids enjoying 'emselves, doing
not-very-dangerous drugs...

it was a knee-jerk reaction to all the raves and parties
happening; they simply felt they were out of control of the
situation rather than any worries about public
safety....glad the fuckers are gone...

They succeeded in a way...club & raves are like a shadow of
their former selves...you can't create a legal, safe form of
youth culture without removing the whole damn point if it...

soory princo...menat to answer your question...

I'd say yeah, it def worth re-ripping those MP3s...you can
good AE MP3s with a little effort and the right
software/encoding...AE do seem to create sonically complex
stuff, stuff that MP3 at low bit rates will have trouble
with...

check the R3mix.net site out...and with the encoding options
they suggest...it's def worth it...it's probably not
massively noticeable (compared to 160-192K) but with a band
like AE, I reckon it's worth it...

I use LAME for my encoding (and EAC) for CD ripping...CDEX
(does ripping & encoding) is cool as well (as long as you
set it to use the LAME encoder)...

use either the -r3mix preset or -alt-preset standard...

r3mix.net site will tell you more...

Cool!
thanks for the link,
also gotta rememeber that i dont have monitor speakers
aswell, so im not getting the clearest of sound most of the
time. just some hi-fi blowers 'ere mate ;)
its also helpful to hand over money in exchange for ae cds i
guess.

what does the -r3mix preset do? I've just got LAME to ripp
all my cd's into good quality mp3's, at the moment i'm using
the extreme setting for electronic musi and standard for
most others
