I've had this album in my CD player for about a week non-stop. Am I the only one who feels that Amber is absolutely beautiful? Amongst all the Autechre talk, it seems that everyone talks about Incunabula, skips Amber and continues onward with Tri-Repetae. The Autechre guide at lonelymachines.org describes Amber as "poorly sequenced", and "lacking focus". I couldn't disagree more. What do YOU think? |
||||||||

|
Amber is one their best albums. No doubt! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
it's what got me ON to autechre. it's actually the only album i have copied in it's entirety to tape for my car. i love this album. so so so so good. when i make music...this is usually what i end up emulating (but like...take it and shit on it. that's my music.) |

how the hell can something be "poorly sequenced"........... sounds stupid if you ask me....... havent heard the track though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the album, i mean.. an entire album "poorly sequence", its madness ! 1 |
||||||||

They're probably referring to the order of the tracks. I personally don't care for Amber that much, aside from the track Yulquen, which I think is great. |

Amber is good first Autechre I bought. |
||||||||
|
|

The last track on Amber is knock out how can anyone forget that track? |
||||||||

teartear. tasty. |

Silverside is one of the most fascinating songs ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The dude at loneymachines.org is a wee bit nuts I think. His brain cells are poorly sequenced. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i don''t think it's been neglected... it's a fan favorite for sure... I think it's there best pre-chiastic slide work.... mabey even there 3rd best albumn |
||||||||
|

|
|
dude things can be "poorly sequenced". i wouldn't say amber is, but it's a valid insult in electronic music terms badly composed. sort of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Amber is my favorite Ae album along with Confield... maybe my 1st favorite. i agree it's really beautiful!! =) (the beginning of 'Further' is pure bliss and iced beauty...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Amber and Tri-Repetae are better than Chiastic. When talking about autechre, the word "better" doesn't really seem fitting. It's more about which album suits your tastes - all of the albums kick ass in their own little way. |

I love Amber... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

take it and shit on it AHAA! |

Amber is insanely good. It's the album that made me feel something for electronic, rather than just, I don't know air drum or something. I don't have a favorite Autechre, because I love them all, but that is DEFINITELY my favorite. (???) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My first AE album. One of their best too. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Amber is great for music, not so great for Autechre. Weakest album next to Incunabula which is, err.., downright boring? It IS wonderful though, which some priceless moments. Montreal and Silverside come to mind. Make me want to cry.. so lovely. Also Teartear aptly named, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The critic at lonelymachines.org calls silverside a "pointless, annoying throw away". I say lynch mob. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My first Ae purchase too... I haven't listened to it in a while, along with ep7. /me digs out ep7 and amber... good idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, yes. tasty goodies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, ep7 is priceless. Zeiss Contarex? Yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

The Garbage ep just 'clicked' with me the other day, lying down with a doobie after a hard days work. Man, I love it when Ae you've had for a while 'clicks' with you. |
||||||||
|

i skip incunabula and listen to amber and then skip tri repetae though i dont skip garbage or anvil vapre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm yet to hear an Atechre track I like...........maybe I've been unlucky with the stuff I've sampled but his old stuff hasn't aged very well (Incunabula) & his newer stuff generally turns me suicidal (Gantz Graf etc), although Amber has been high on my list of stuff to get for a while as it sounds wondrous. |

I can't believe some people don't like tri-rep. GIVE IT MORE TIME!!!! It took me about 20 listens until my ears learned how to listen to it properly. It was like musical enlightenment when it happened. Trying to sort out the layers to tri-rep was my biggest mistake. It wasn't until I was cleaning the house with tri-rep in the background until I heard it the way it was meant to be heard. AMAZING. |

lp5.... sitll my fav autechre cd. EVER :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard every album in its entirety except for incunabula and I don't feel compelled to really. Amber is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but NINE is just about the most prolific song ever created/conceived by autechre... really hits the heart. IMO of course |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
montreal and yulquen do it for me I like them all though, so I'd just have to say slip is probably my least favorite. |
||||||||

if i had a dime for everytime a person says something like that, i would have somewhere around 50 dollars. give or take in any case, theres NO ONE EXACT WAY to listen to a track or an album. i can't believe some people cant get this into their skull. its just as bad as aphex fans trying to tell people that there are "countless layers" and "whateverelse" in his music, that im obviously too stupid to catch and/or "havent listened to it enough yet. its there man! the layers man the layers! THEYRE ALL THERE! LISTEN 29340293582935 MILLION TIMES THEN YOULL GET IT! PLAY IT WHILEST WORKING WITH SHEET METAL! GENIUS!" i say bah to that sort of thought. im exaggerating there of course cause you arent, erm, that out there, but still...theres no "one way its supposed to be heard". I do like c/pach and clipper, and i have enjoyed listening to it from time. more or less as "background music" or whatever. so its not like im crapping all over it or anything. i just said id prefer to listen to say, confield. or lp5. thats my personal choice. i dont have a problem with you liking tri repetae, thats fine of course. aint gonna knock opinions or anything. its just boring to me. you shouldnt have a problem with that either yo. ALL IN ALL we can all (for the most part) agree that autechre is good. so cheers to that |

foil is the track for me. it's the first one i ever heard, and it's what got me to go buy the cd and get into electronic music. it'll always have a special place in my heart. aw. |

amber is not very good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i like amber, but in my opinion it's not their best.. some tracks are just pure class.. montreal, nil, yulquen, glitch.. it usually doesnt take me too long to get into ae releases, but with confield and draft i listened non-stop for about a week or two, then put them aside, then a couple of months later i listen again and absolutely love them.. i'm actually listening to draft again for the first time in about a month or two .. awesomahj..343240897o4i43./4/460435 /45/ 4 53454387925 /3/4 23894729384723 /3//5 329847234 thats what i thinking now y0 |

your face isn't very good. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i mean..well. sure, you're cute...in your own way... but i'd still laugh and have everyone come laugh with me if i ever saw your face on the side of a milk carton. "haha. look at how stupid that kid looks." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...yeah, i should go away now. =P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not a big fun of tracks like teartear or yulken.for the rest amber is a great record with some of my fav ae tracks(foil,silverside,piezo,nine) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will say it again: all ae, any ae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amber is one of my alltime favourite albums ever of anyone ever yes. My favourite AE by far. Piezo is intolerably beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's chuffing marvellous, so it is... I'd say it's their second best album after TR... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LP5 is the best but amber kicks ass too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
