ok, I love autechre... but, I was thinking...
could I recognize any autechre track if I heard it without seeing the name?
of course we all recognize all the famous tracks... but some of them... I dont know
at least I am sure I would recognize any aphex track, and I am not sure this would happen with ae.

you think you could recognize any of the confield tracks? I am sure I would with the really famous ones (1, 2, 3, 6, 9) but I think I am capable of mistaken the rest

I have 17 diferent autechre releases, all original...
right now I dont even remember how does track 2 in peel session 1 sounds
or hoe does track 3 in cichlisuite starts...
thats what I am talking about... I think I could mistake some of them with eachother
one thing that can be the cause is that I always listen to the whole record, without seeing the track tittles or even noticing what track number I am with... I just play the record from start to end... maybe thats why now I doubt
but anyway, if I am listening to any of the records I have, whenever a track ends I know which one is about to start... that at least I am capable of

I don't listen to Amber much though, that one is a bit hazy for me.

I know just what you mean...though with the combination of the amount of music I listen to and my poor poor memory...it is hardly a wonder.
But I can always place the album it is from. It is just the name that beats me.

I have been listening to autechre since 92-3. Incunabula Album sort of time. I have listened to all of the Albums / EP's Intensily at the time of release and intensily to match my own moods. I could not name every track they have made but probably half of them on listening to them, discluding pronouncation issues. I could geuninely say I could name which album / ep all the tracks are from. Hands down.
Aphex is only better at the moment because we are young and love the nice and nasty dichotomy. When we get really old and bitter we will all be listening to autechre. Autechre are just aphex with a sense of humour transplant. And maybe take themselves too seriously, I just refer to autechre as premediated serious musical crime where as aphex is opportunist, audio vandalism.
(Scaring old women and children type). If you know what I mean.

maybe this explains it all:
all the 17 releases of autechre that I have were bought in the last year and a half.... thats to much music to remember so soon

I'd know it was autechre, but I would only be able to say what album, not likely what track #, or even the track name for most of them.

I would recognize a track being autechre I would also recognize the album it belongs to (I think with 85% of the tracks)
I would recognize the track number of it in that album (this maybe with 60% of the tracks)
but I would hardly know any names

i don't recognize 75% of autechre and i own all the albums and several EP's/singles. it's mostly due to the absolutely stupid track naming system they've had going on for the greater part of 10 years, but also because a lot of autechre sounds the same. i'm also having problems naming aphex songs from drukqs on after because he's adopted the autechre antagonistic song titling scheme. and before someone tells me the titles all mean something, i kwow. but they don't mean a damn thing to me except "fpgjfglfjfkl;gkjfg."

at the end of the day the names arent what matters anyways - its the music
if you can recognize an artist's sound rather than individual songs, i think it speaks better for that particular artist.

i wonder if they think they're being apropos naming their tracks "weird" things because their music is (supposedly) so weird or different.. when really they're doing a huge disservice to themselves as it's totally obnoxious

There's so many different possiblities for artists naming their tracks as unintelligible garbage. They could be completely pretentious wankers; They could want to sidestep giving their songs meaningful titles as that can come across as pretentious, especially with instrumentals (and with the cold style of latter ae); They could simply want people to be unable to refer to the individual tracks in conversation as they're impossible to pronounce; They could just want to add mystique.. it goes on and on. At the end of the day, the track names are arse and the music is more important.

of course the music is the most important thing, but it's bloody obnoxious to name your track something people will have a hard time remembering, let alone pronouncing. aphex, mogwai, lfo, and a lot of other artists have gone on record about how they name their tracks rather inappropriate things simply cos there isn't usually an apt title. however, by naming something properly, even if it doesn't carry a specific meaning, it makes things a lot easier on everyone and i find that being able to refer back to an individual track is beneficial for a musician's career. i think that's one reason autechre aren't half as popular as aphex, especially in the media (not that i value their opinion, but they do have influence over millions). anyway, it's not that i disagree with what you said or that i don't understand why a musician would name their track "g;hkjg;hkjhj;h" but i just see it ultimately detrimental to practically everything.

what I do at the end is that I listen to the whole album or ep from start to end... I never listen to just one track... so I will be able to know what album or ep a track belongs to, but hardly anymore, unless is a real ,famous track (rae, acroyear, bine, cipater, cichli, cpach, piezo.....)

in this thread I wasnt really talking about the track names, I was only talking about identifying the track... no matter if you know the name, but that you are able of knowing what track is it, what album from and what number it has on that album, the tittle is not neccessary for that

plus autechre titles often do pronounce something if you put a Little bit of thought into reading it
some are also focused on imagery
eg lentic catachresis, 'lentic' being a cloud formation that looks like a flying saucer

i know.. and i'd like to clarify again that a lot of autechre to me sounds the same.. as cool as their music is, i don't think they have as much diversity in their sound (per album) as aphex, boc, lfo, prefuse 73, or even plaid. obviously you can tell if you're listening to "teartear" or "bine", but as far as individual tracks on a certain album, i can identify the album but a lot of their music doesn't stay with me, like i can't get it stuck in my head. i guess that's cos of their unique take on melody (subverting it, taking it out of the foreground, making it harder to access) more than anything else, like instrumentation or technique.
