had the opportunity to listen to it yesterday (complete and not just in shitty mp3-"quality"). - as i expected, the album is not like GANTZ GRAF but very,very quiet, all the "destructive" behaviour (though "destructive" just describes AE´s approach to popular music in general, not their internal way to arrange / use sound) still left on CONFIELD has nearly vanished. there is a big load of reverb on most of the tracks, instead of harshness they create a strong haze of UNCERTAINTY over all the recording. the complexity of the rhythmic arrangements is even more impressing than on any record they did before. overall, you find the elegance and brilliance of CONFIELD mixed with the open space of AMBER (ok, this is a bit stupid, but as i wrote - first impression). what i like the most: the more you try to catch any acoustic / structural detail on the record, the less you will get to know about the music as a whole. another great example that - against common sense - autechre is not about setting the world record in "intelligent programming" (which they own anyway) but about transcending and creating a big, warm , pulsating EMOTION. sean, rob: i love everythingabout every release you did so far. DRAFT 9:30 will be my best friend for a long time. |

My best friends are people I know for real. Sometimes I hang out with them - drink a beer, smoke a J, gossip, watching girls but never trying to catch any acoustic / structural detail on a specific record they made. Strange. Isn't it draft 7.30 ? |
||||||||

yes it is yes it is |

"what i like the most: the more you try to catch any acoustic / structural detail on the record, the less you will get to know about the music as a whole." Exactly.. |
||||||||
|
|

|

how do you know p2t ; you only have the MP3s. I can focus on both details and the 'whole' music but I need to be pretty fucked up. Usually I dream about sean & rob eating cereals in my bathtube while I'm having a peanut butter shower. Strange. |

how did you get to listen to it in not-mp3?! °_° confield + amber... my fav Ae albums... i can't imagine them mixed but it might be good :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a record can be more reliable than any other friend i ever had. - ok, on the other hand there might be a problem with that beer thing. i agree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I hoping more of the old school sound, or atleast more melodic but it's deffinatly solid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened to the original tape which has far more warmth about it than those mp3s (i admit: there is almost nothing i find more disgusting than that "format", a violation of music...). please do not take that confield/amber quote too serious. it was just a spontaneous thing... |

hochen macht freunde is that a reference to arbeit macht frei. My favorite german band of today : nena for the fat bass line of 99 luft ballons |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am not that much into that germany-thing, "arbeit macht frei" would´n´t be a very funny alias. and: even if you don´t believe - we have some music over here, and that´s not just nena. you would not like me to reduce your culture to some sucker like springsteen... even thoug i was in love with nena when i was 12 years old. |
||||||||

|

keep cool boy - I'm french - just joking - And I like nena too. |
||||||||
|

I will have my first impressions in April, when I buy the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did not think you were serious... and: being french excuses a lot (hehe...) |
||||||||

i felt like a electronica noobie at first that's how i know AUTECHRE knows how to PUT ME IN MY FUCKING PLACE... SIT DOWN..YOUVE BEEN SITTED seriously i was like "wtf all this shit sounds the same" then i listened more then more now each track, while seemingly very un-distinctive at first, has grown into a complex, calculating MACHINE RAWR! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that does it i'm downloading this. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wait till its released... the surprise will be better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. it's only.. about 3 months away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha, I refuse to wait. I always buy the Ae release anyway so what's the biggie? My first impression: This is my favourite record of all time. That's my first impression mofos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i hate it currently. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I don't get the "wait till its released"-thing either. its just as big a surprise now as it would be then. sound will be better on the released record though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh you hate everything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh my yes the cassette tape.. the only true way to listen to a recording. I guess it was a rather bold statement to have an opinion on the album considering i've only heard the mere mp3s.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've got most of their albums on mp3 including draft 7.30 and no matter hard i try i can't seem get into them. sure it's intresting to listen to, but many of you are praising their work as it was the second coming of christ. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AlbertoBalsalm: you?re absolutely right! ; ) ...I don?t really think it?s the second coming of christ (but that was funny!) but "Surripere" itself makes it worth buying the record... |
||||||||
|
|

hahahahaha :) Here's what I think: Draft is good, but not really their most memorable. It'll be overlooked by me, i'm sure. I know it's good, but it's not great. It has too many "snoring" sounds. It just sounds like the sounds run their course and then keep coming up. It's not that great. I feel like I could play an ambient record, and an industrial record and have monkeys alternate the volume levels. That, to me, would be an equivalent listening experience. Time will tell though, I'll have to hear on CD to get a better feel for it. |
||||||||

I like the earlier stuff like Amber and Incunabula. They don't make songs like Silverside anymore (i like it alot) |
||||||||

"I feel like I could play an ambient record, and an industrial record and have monkeys alternate the volume levels." You got a point there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's just the sounds' been done. Sometimes the melodies come through, other times there's the industrial sorts of noise. I just really think it's not very magical. Their other releases (except GG) have a sort of magic to them, in that there's not so much to them, but the overall impression is, "wow!" Like a beautiful black and white photo, i guess, would be the best analogy. only shades of grey, but you can get a bigger image out of it. And Draft doesn't really do much but alternate between bits of two things that don't really take my breath away. The tracks just don't seem to have the layers. |

Please GOD, let Soulseek come back up, haven't heard it yet. Don't judge it yet, people... anyone who disses it now will be in luv with it in a month or two. Unless... it really isn't great. *gasp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm having trouble getting into some of the tracks. :( |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Ophecks, you don't need soulseek if all you want is draft 7:30 chack out the "NEW AUTECHRE INTERVIEW" thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey--these are first impressions, I said I could change my mind when I hear the CD. :) But for now, in giant two-track form, it's not going to rank among our favorite's from Sean and Rob. :( |
