I've been on an Autechre kick for about a month now. I haven't listened to anything BUT autechre. In an effort to understand them better, I've listened to every LP numerous times, and read pages and pages of ae feedback on this forum. It seems that more than perhaps any other IDM artist, ae's fanbase is incredibly divided between the best and worst autechre. I have been searching high and low for a consistent favourite, but it seems that BECAUSE autechre consistently release near-perfect albums, the only variation of a favourite album is that of personal taste. With µ-ziq it's usually lunatic harness or tango. With RDJ it's usually drukqs , ICBYD, and the SAWs. With BOC, it's usually MHTRTC. WIth autechre, it is literally unpredictable. I seem to like Amber, Tri-Rep, and LP5. What's your opinion? |

|
|
everybody loves autechre except me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently its because i'm not 'open-minded' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Incunabula and Gantz Graf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amber, Confield and Gantz Graf are my favourite autechre releases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Confield |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the reason it's like that is because even the people who say ep7 is the best listen to confield more a year later and change their minds etc |

Amber, Incanabula, Confield |

|

|

oh look its another name your favourite autechre album thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
chiastic slide, confield, draft |
||||||||

"LOL" |

Interestingly enough, it seems that autechre harbours a more love/hate relationship with respect to albums than some other popular IDM artists. With artists like aphex twin and BOC it generally appears that all the albums are excellent, and BOC fans prefer one or two over the others (even though the others are still very good). I've heard absolute extremism with autechre. I've heard Tri-Rep called repetitive and borning, I've heard Incunabula been called irrelevant, I've heard Confield called the biggest pile of shit in electronic history. Others revere those same albums, and its quite surprising how incredibly different our points of view can be with any given ae album. Perhaps there is much room for interpretation with each ae album? |

What...nobody likes my thread anymore? |
||||||||

i love what ever hasnt been said yet fuck you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Since when was Drukqs the favourite RDJ album? I thought it was generally regarded as... well, RDJ Album. And SAWII. AE I go with Amber and Tri Repetae. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and I can't stand RDJ Album, personally. |
||||||||
|
|

Listen roygbivcore, just because you're mad at the world doesn't give you the right to take your anger out on others. You have to deal with this anger by observing your true nature. There is only peace young grasshopper. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case: i have a disagreement with your parents choice not to have an abortion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Each thread has its favourites. The RDJ album would fit the mold too I suppose. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, you're absolutely right roygbivcore. We should have a world where only cynical pessimistic bastards exist. Would that make you happy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't start shit with me and i won't start shit with you. you broke the rules |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
chiastic slide! oh.. and tri repetae :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
teenage angst....touching |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What rules ? When was it necessary to tell me to fuck off - were you just trying to be cool? There is no shit to start - I fail to see what "shit" you might be referring to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Tri-Rep is the shit personally. It took me at least 15-20 listens before it finally made sense. Before then, I thought it was mindless and repetitive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never thought it was mindless and repetitive... I thought it was quite good on first listen, but it lacked that something special. And did so for a while, so I stopped listening when I got Amber and LP5 (which I instantly preferred). The one day I was feeling really shit, had a cold, had been crying, I think... so I lay back in the bath and put Tri Repetae on, of all albums, and it just really clicked. It suddenly had this gorgeous dark, cold atmospheric feel to it. Now I love it. |
||||||||

|
|
i never told you to fuck off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Confield is my favourite album, Gantz Graf and Envane are my favourite EP's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love everything autechre's ever done with the exception of maybe...two or three tracks (and even those i still LIKE, i'd just usually skip over it to get to the next track which i REALLY like, you know?), yet i do catch myself listening to amber, incunabula, and ep7 more often than the others. |

confield, lp5 those who have problems with this thread just stay away from it, but dont disturb the rest of the people wanting to have a nice discussion on autechre. roygbivcore, yes it goes for you (among others) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Envane and Chiastic Slide are the best things Autechre have done. Then I'd go for Confield and Incunabula. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's so hard trying to pick your favourite i can almost safely say my favourite ep is envane. favourite album is either confield or chiastic slide |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the repetitive parts of autechre are what relaxes me - even though it might sound like it does the opposite. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't have any problems with this thread, jesus christ fuck you was directed at me as a joke, i'm sorry you guys don't understand, i'll try to talk really slow from now on so no one misunderstands |
||||||||

nacmat, you're the nicest guy on this forum. I know these threads get a little redundant, but I feel the need to start one when I can't find a thread to address a question that I have. I know there are many people who would contribute, and others who would rather tell me how redundant I'm being. I apologize for anyone I may have offended - including roygbivcore. |
||||||||

You shouldn't use His name in vain. Why are you sounding so grumpy? You can talk as slow as you want but nobody will hear you I'm afraid. You're going to have to type your reply, and we'll choose how fast we should read your response. ;) |

as for preferences, my current faves are: -LP5 - i like the way it's both melodic and cerebral. these two things are usually hard to balance together, but Ae are at their best here. as for songs order sequencing, it's perfect. -Cichlisuite EP (Krib is one of the loveliest songs...sounds like an electronic love ballad) -Garbage EP (hmmmm...) it's been mentioned alot, anyway i'll be bold enough to say it again...imo, the main thing about autechre is that you may like them or not, but they cannot be neglected. well, i used to think that i'd NEVER end up listening to them, but it was bound to happen... (never say never ;) i really appreciate them. when i think what is best describes their music, these words always come into my mind: irresistible and addictive... don't you think so? |
||||||||

|
|
Confield and Tri-Repetae Don't know why, just like 'em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love every fuckin one of them equally. I'm the biggest Autechre fan in the world. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like confield, draft and envane right now, but it is always changing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
roygbivcore your Avitar is amazing ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats why i put it there! |
||||||||

ah, participating in yet another ae disagreement thread. after confield (i liked two tracks, the first and "uviol") and gantz graf (more interesting than listenable) i'm not buying any more new ae. there's just too much more interesting and pleasing music to discover and enjoy. on another controversy, i've had tri repetae for eight years now, and i've grown to believe that it is their weakest effort. chiastic slide provided the real breakthrough in style and technique. lp5 was the unparalleled refinement. despite my opinion of confield, their live performance on the subsequent tour was absolutely stunning, one of the most fascinating and overwhelming performances i've ever witnessed. zzt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always end up playing chiastic slide more than the others i have laying around. and i still haven't heard tri-repetae :( ::shock:: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's very difficult to choose, but i like chiastic slide best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like Autechre but soem of their tracks just seem to be too much like "Hey let's do something that's never been done before, somethnig WEIRD" which I sposed is one of the mian underlying concepts of IDM, rather than "hey let's make a tune that stomps/has lots of emotion" People will disagree with me, but it's just how I feel. And yeah if you don't liek Autechre you WILL get people just dismissing your taste as "not understanding". It happens. |

|
|
i know i've said this before chiastic slide is my favorite of their work... and i think that tri Repetae is my least favorite...... after thinking lp5 was the greatest albumn of all time.... now i think it's not as great as i used to... chiastic slide and confield are the two most solid works... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that ae has the most emontion of any eletronic act i've heard... that why most of us listen... |
