these 2 are top of the idm (at least in xltronic competition hehe)...i thought about comparing this two last night when there was some talk of autechre (and i really cant see/hear why so many people are excited about their music) so this is what i think about it...autechre are doing music unintentionaly imo-i mean they put the melody and some beats together-and it doesnt exactly fit together, i mean they could exchange plenty of beats and melodies between songs and it would still sound pretty much the same...while aphex creates music, he composes it,... beats go great with melody and there could hardly be a track of his where you could exchange beats and melody-it would spoil the track for sure... im surprised of how many people think autechre are better than aphex, especially because there's many of you that make your own music, so it gives you an idea of how it looks like to do a piece like autechre or a piece like aphex...i mean, i often get this feeling when listening to autechre that they just experiment until they get some cool, weird sounding melody or beat, that doesnt change much later or they just add a new weird sound-i dont mind repetitive music, actually i like many artists that do music like that, but their music is very pleasant, it gives me this great feeling which i just cant get with autechre's music... im sure most of you disagree with me, but i came to conclusion that aphex and autechre cant really be compared when it comes to making music... |

autechre are sooo overrated (imho)... i wouldn't like this tread to become a autechre vs afx fans bash fest.. but what you perfectly well describe my ideas 'bout this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should really try some of ae's early work. How can you say it's just some randomly put together melody and rhythm after hearing that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recommand me some and ill download it but i must warn you, ive tried to get into autechre before and it never worked for me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is not my opinion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"i came to conclusion that aphex and autechre cant really be compared when it comes to making music... " you got that right at least. let's just leave it there. I like both afx and ae, but for very different reasons. |

i just want people to post their opinion on this (donr want to start any bash) yeah, their early work is a bit better, but honestly, there are many artists that make the same music and are much better as autechre were in the begining no doubt autechre deserve to be up there-they are doing music for a long time. lots of people love them, but when it comes to composing music they're very overrated IMO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, I'll recommend you some tracks (early ae): 444 Kalpol Introl Eggshell Montreal Eutow Vletrmx21 Second Peng There's so much more actually, in fact, you should try Amber and Incunabula in its entirety. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty much how i feel about autechre too but i'm sure we will get shouted down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have both amber and incunabula-there are some nice songs on those two that i can listen to, but there's much other music that i like much more... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some tracks of autechre are really awesome! Piezo, 444, Cichli, CapIV, Clipper, Leterel, and especially Vltrmx21 are masterpieces imo. Many other tracks (i.e. ep7) aren't so great imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find "444" and "piezo" absolute masterpieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
http://autechre.nu lots o samples there |
||||||||
|
|

I find that you are absolutely right. |

omfg release teh hounds on tolstoyed!!11 autechre own j00!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only Autechre I like is Incunabula, Tri Repetae, and the two EP's that were with the US release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 2 peel sessions ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think my favourite autechre is confield, but i can listen to that only when im in a certain mood :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The melody who grow in CapIV is amazing. I like the fact who often you've to dig inside mechanical repetitive harsh sounds for discover wonderful melodies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To all the non-ae fanatics: I do admit that ae's music can be quite hard to get into and this goes especially for their latest work (confield, gantz graf, ep7), but as cliché as this might sound: Give it some time and you'll be rewarded with some of the best music you'll ever hear. I didn't think much of autechre either in the beginning, but now I would say it comes dangerously close to afx. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im gonna download incunabula now.. at least the name sounds cool lets see if i dig this album... maybe itll grow on me and ill be able to like em |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know autechre for a long time-i was listening to their music even before i was into aphex, but i just cant get their music-it sounds soooo cold-aphex tho, makes my head spinn and i get this very pleasant feeling listening to his stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex Twin is my fav, but his music is simpler to understand compared to Ae. Firts time who I listened Gantz Graf, I thought:"what is this shit?!?" After 3 or 4 listens I discovered who CapIV is an amazing complex track (with a superlative melody) and gantz graf track was a powerfull load of electronic energy. |
||||||||
|
|

|

the rhytms and melodies Ae use are weird (maybe not the correct term, sorry for that). they do combine different parts, sort of paste the bars onto each other. Sometimes their beats and patterns just fasten up and so on. It might nog be easy to get into, and loads of people will never get in to it. Can't say anything more besides that I like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, Ae music is totally cold while AFX music is more emotional. AFX has more fantasy, imo anyway they've totally differents style an it's why i love both. There are too different style imo: AFX electronic and Ae electronic. Many artists are copying from one or from the other. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre is indeed very cold, but coldness has its own charm imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"is simpler to understand" i get into majority of musicians quite easily, and i get to hear quite many, so what you're saying i cant relate with, especially because i been listening to autechre for quite some time now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't say who you don't understand complex music, i only said who afx music is simpler, but it's only a my opinion ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i forgot to mention "Draun Quarter" from Envane... it's wonderful!!! And the live version is wonderful too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, i dint think you thought that, but i cant agree with that view :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha that post didnt make much sense, sorry there's a difference between being random and being difficult to understand... and æ is a bit too random for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think autechre is over rated at all........but i do think they come second to aphex |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do any of you find arovane similar to autechre? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*cough* do you find zeus to be similar to autechre *cough* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some tunes, yes, but there's nothing wrong with that... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tolstoyed, don't you like vltrmx21, 444, piezo and draun quarter? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
digging up the past are we? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know tracks by names, im sorry, but i'll check those! only one of those im certain i like is 444 and i like about half of tunes from confield as well... but i find autechre musically overrated, they are making nice music, but they cant be compared to aphex when it comes to creating music, is all im saying :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In reply to my previous post... Tri Repetae and the two ep's that were with the US release = Anvil Vapre & Garbage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
random my arse! AE is v emotional too i reckon....oh! and by the way a computer doesnt just decide by itself to do a tune...its still just a tool....you want it to do random stuff,you still gonna have to explain to the machine how to do it(program it).... i love both their music.....but i prefer ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want someone with all the albums from both artists to choose. I only have Tri Repetae++ by Autechre, and I have a strictly love/hate relationship with it. Whereas I have 5 albums by Aphex and I think they're all great... obviously I'm going to pick Aphex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have all albums by autechre i have like 5-7 hehe, but not one stands out-as bad as this seems, but i get bored very quickly with their music :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with tolstoyed, but im sure that ae has something still to discover for me... i love lp5 i hate amber i dont understand confield i think draft 7.30 will be definitive in my opinion about ae... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
draft is pretty similar to confield imo btw, if i remember you were mentioning Balago once-a group from barcelona...great music!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autwchre vs aphex - wait i thought they were music makers not prize fighters |
