Does anyone here have problems with those crazy names? Sometimes I see people referring to tracks not by name, but by ''6th track on Confield'' or whatever. I've never had a problem, I can probably spell every Autechre track title correctly without looking at the track listings, and I never get them confused.
I have problems with Drukqs, though... not only are they strange words, but they're strangely SPELLED, too. And the ones with numbers in them... I can never seem to remember what number goes where. That AFX237v7 track... I can never remember the numbers in there, only the AFX part.

i love the titles! Who ever said songtitles were supposed to be catchy and easy to remember?
I actually dislike the fact that in their early days autechre gave some of their tracks very ordinary names like "eggshell"... it immediately makes you think of an eggshell... with all their other titles i don't get an immediate mental image in my head. It's like abstract art with words :-D
And for some reason they always seem to be fitting with the music too. The Tri Rep. titles sound cold and mechanical, like technical names that industrial companies give to certain machine-parts. The Confield titles on the other hand, sound obscure and dark... like words from a forreign language that you don't understand.
And about druqks... i don't think those titles were meant to be pronounced ;-) They're just beautiful to look at (i think so anyway).

Well, I always remember the names without any problem if I know the song well, and spell them correctly no matter how bad it is. It doesn't spread to numbers though. Heh.

I like Ae's names because they usually suit the music pretty well!

i always to have to check my drukQs cd when i want to refer to tracks like... 'hy a scullyas lyf a adhagrow' (is this good?), for example...
not that much of a problem with Ae tracks, the ones i like especially or the ones which are special, i remember the titles. well, most of the time. (is it melve or vose in, the short christmassy one on lp5? oh, ok, it's melve.)
the rest is just Ae, the music sounds just Ae, the track titles sound just Ae, so i don't feel the need to speak about it.

i'm just checking the tracks to be sure, because when i like a track it's like when i like a person - knowing its name, or caring about knowing it, is just respectful...

237 is a magic number. Never seen The Shining? Isn't there a venetian snares track or album with those numbers in the name?

I hate titles like "Bffgvanfesfkjsdkg",even if it would mean something in Welsh.To me,a cool song title improves the feeling I get about a song ten fold.
those shitty titles on drukqs are therefor spot on,as I think the larger part of the album is jibberish and shite.
Only the readable song titles seem to be of interest.

I like fancy, beautiful names like Lentic Catachresis, Chiastic Slide, Parhelic Triangle, Surripere, Pen Expers... it's the true gibberish that gets on my nerves. AE has some shit names, though, Draft has a few nonsensical titles.

im starting to loose memory i used to remember tracks by their position on the album (i rarely know them by name), but lately i cant even do that anymore (with some exepctions), so i need to hear at list couple of seconds of the track-that is if im looking for some particular track :)

I only remember about half of the names of the Drukqs tracks, after having listend to it continuously for 2 years. I think the cryptic names are kinda cool.

it annoys me when people give out only a track number for a SAWII song, because with all the different versions around you really have no clue what song they are on about.
