AUTECHRE!!!

I just got to admit that they and BOC are the rulers right
now. I really didnt feel Confield at first but now its one
of my fucking fav albums of alltime (u havent heard that
story before ;) ok here we go...

Last night I listened to that album in a dark room, with
candles and pot and it was just one of the most BIZARRE
EXPERIENCES I ever had in my entire LIFE!!!

It just felt like I was about to loose it plenty of times
during that session it was just fucking MENTAL!!!!

It was just scary as hell the way the beats were fucking
with my brain, AND I SWEAR I never felt like this before on
any substance or whatever...

Like on both Sim Gishel and track nr 9 (almost every track
was just TOO SICK, and well crafted)!!! I thought that I was
going insane, the music and the power in the room was just
WAY TOO STRONG!! Plus I had headphones on wich made even a
greater experience...

So my recommendation to all those bravehearts, ironman,
mentally strong ones spark a fat one start meditating , put
on headphones, turn the off the light, just some candles or
something like that, relax, put in Confield and....press
PLAY!!!

AarhhhrrhgggUIiiiiiiaiahaahahhahrhrhOOOhhhhhhuuIIIIAAaaaaaa
hhh.

sometimes i come acrross as an Autechre haterr, but i'm not
at all. I think they arre an amazing duo that make "some"
amazing music, BUT, i also find it harrd to have as much
passion as Archrival and otherrs have forr them.
For people new to IDM orr electrronic music, as i once was,
they arre a grreat starrting point, and always 2people to
keep upto date with, but how they can keep peoples attention
forr so long and with the same magnatism amazes me, coz they
just ain't THAT good. Good, just not THAT good.

Yeab but it was even crayzier than that, I dunno If I got
some sort of brain damage after that session ;) IM TELLING
U it was just....I cant put it in word, just try it n youll
see.

There a lot and I mean A LOT of details in confield (if my
brain wasnt making up them crazy sounds when I was high)

the album is very very ambitious.

This sounds so fucking cliche but YES I was a hater, I
really didnt like Confield but I think u havent gave it a
chance.
'The other albums like LP5, Tri Repetaee etc wich I love
directly have lost a lot of the strenght they got at first
(still they are some of the greatest but) I mean confield
just grow n grow n grow...

and Dolleater thanx u got to try it ;) but beware its
nothing to fuck around with I was trippin!

Ironlung! BIG UP!!

how can anyone hate on autechre? it makes no sense to me,
when they are obviously the greatest electronic act of all
time..
i'm curious what people who don't like autechre like in
electronic instead?

Cfern > i like Ae but i can see why some people don't - it's
cold music, hard to get into, at first it can sound just
stupid noise, all sounding the same (i admit i couldn't
distinguish most tracks on lp5 or ep7 if i heared only sound
samples of them)...
all electronic music doesn't sound like Ae - and
fortunately!!

"don't want to have to try and defend music i love so much"

then what was with...

"how can anyone hate on autechre? it makes no sense to me,
when they are obviously the greatest electronic act of all
time.."

i don't want to justify my rreasons forr not liking some
music.

ae is not cold.

I get so tired of hearing that. to me its an easy cliché
that got stuck on their music.

their music moves, breathes, turns, twists, regurgitates,
burps, bips and explodes - it is alive. nothing cold about
it.

it depends how you interrprret it rreally. its not cold to
you. cliche orr not, it IS cold to me.
i like some of Autechre's music alot, but i still view it as
cold.

I love that description as well. So let's start a list of
non-cold Ae:

Draun Quarter
Overand
Cap.IV
Corc
Pretty much all of Amber
Vletrmx21

and there loads more...

Archrival speaks the truth. Right on man, i've been there

If ye own this album not, go forth and purchase. if ye

Muggles can be deeply humbling. Good strong googlymoogly
obliterates the part of you that thinks it knows better, or
at least sends it running home to mama so you can have an
open mind and really appreciate a movie or a piece of music
on its own terms.

Remember that cartoon that ran for a short time, The Critic,
voiced by Jon Lovitz? That's the judgy critical part of the
human mind that gets nullified by good skank.

It's a pity that smoking poobah regularly will turn a person
into a drooling ambition-free imbecile.

Ae is one of the most emotionally evocative and
intelligently expressive acts around, perhaps *the* most..
If they ever are cold, it's done to achieve an ultimately
emotional goal. I would agree for example that second bad
vilbel is cold and mechanical, but it nearly brings me to
tears with it's energy and understated mystique. The same
applies to the entire EP.
or maybe they're just messing around with computers :-)
I agree with you guys.

its a fact i think (i think its a fact) that autechres later
stuff sounds cold and mechanical.. at least at first... dont
get me wrong, i'm a firm fan of confield, but it took me
quite a while to get my head round it, and for a while i
found it pretty much unlistenable-- then i listened to it
whilst out of my tree, and since then its made sense, even
when sober.. its lush!!!

but to say ae is cold music is to disregard earlier stuff
such as incunabula and amber which is possibly the 'warmest'
electronic music i've ever had the extreme pleasuere of
listening to (with the possible exception of plaid)...

the colder stuff is harder to get into for sure... but every
listen sounds better than the last

"Autechre.nu will cease to exist - September 23"
there's no updates on Ae.nu since the end of the september
(except messageboard), while xltronic contains almost
nothing (except messageboard). why???
by the way, i know, it's a stupid question, but where can i
download ae mp3?
p.s. ae rulez!

I like Autechre, i also "like" the music i see as cold
because when i choose to listen to it, thats what i am in
the mood forr. Its just that i don't rregularrly feel like
listening to it, and thats why they will neverr be betterr
than BoC orr FSOL (to me perrsonally).

Grreat people, grreatly advanced techonologically, but not
betterr, in my opinion, than a band orr duo orr perrson that
makes me want to pick theirr CD's up and listen to them at
least once a day.
