Ok, just a little intro:
Having been curious about the music of AE for ages, about a year ago I bought the EP "Peel Sessions 2" just for the sake of having a little sample of music.
Looking back, I know it was a stupid thing to do. About three months ago, I bought an 808 State CD that I hated (some of you might remember the obscene topic I created about it -- "808 State - CRAP"), and anyway I brought it back to the store to exchange it.
I asked for advice here at Xltronic - it was either gonna be Squarepusher's Feed Me Weird Things or Chiastic Slide. Someone made a comment (I think it was Asche XL that just sorta stuck - I remeber him saying "Get Chiastic Slide - it's brilliant" or something like that).
So I did. Now I classify CS as probably one of the (if not the) all-time best album.
Now we're back at last Friday. Having been affectged by CS the way that I was, I decided to buy another AE epic album. After many thoughts, I set out to buy Tri Repetae (unfortunately, we don't have the ++ version here in Perth, and I don't know where to order it from) and...would you guess it? The store didn't have it. So I went to another one, where it was more expensive, and managed to persuade the guy to take $5 Aus off the price.
Tri Repetae is also amazing. Listening to the 30-sec samples on the net just doesn't do anything for the music on this release - it is powerful. And so now, I'm officially on the Autechre train, determined to collect their stuff.
My next purchase shall be "LP5" logically, since I didn't really go for Incunubula and Amber, though I may pick them up later on if I'm desperate.
My question is: Is LP5 a good album? Because the melodies is CS were sensational, and this is the next full-length LP and I'm hoping it will keep me in good spirits with AE.
Any advice would be appreciated.
(Sorry for this long essay!) -Toe

Umm I just bought it at 78s ahges ago. I could be wrong of course. Oh and don't ask me to remember track names lol they're all track1, track2 etc to me coz I always have the CDs in a Cd wallet and never with the cases and even then I rarely look at the track names.

LP5 is ace. moreso than chiastic slide, in my opinion (but remember, it's probably my least favorite autechre release. i'm silly like that).
but it's a shame amber and incunabula don't do anything for you. those are my favs. =*[
i'd actually say go get ep7. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. tasty goodies, indeed.

oh, no worries :)
78's eh? Tri Rep++ should have 2 discs... Anvil Varpe and Garbage eps?
I don't know. *shrugs*
Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 7 are awesome'ajh.
I hate trk 5, the high-pictched whiny one that just waders around in circles for 10 minutes though....

EP7 will be after LP5 don't worry! (That CD's not goin' anywhere with that coverart and grainy case - I love shit like that!)
And I prob. will like Amber and Incunubula if I had a chance with them. I'm just leaving them till later...

nah I was wrong, only one disc. Hm. weird I was sure it said tri rep++ on it. But then again my brain isn't the most trustworthy character lately.
I think I like all the tunes on tri rep but the last one is kind of crap imho.
brillaint album to listen to when you're stoned and have the whole ambient thing happening, wicked wicked junglismassiv

speaking of ambient, i bought Warp's compilation "Artificial Intelligence II" a while ago. It's got an exclusive-to-the-album AE track called Chatter. The whole album's really lush and ambient.
Listening now, in fact!

Everything about CS is perfect...
Let's see:
Cipater - awesome, 4/4 vs 3/4 time works perfectly, great melodies and screech sound that sounds like a gate needing an oil.
Cichli - Beautiful beyond words.
Hub - Mysterious and great time signature that takes time to work out.
Calbruc - Nightmare that turns into a lullaby- love this one.
Recury - Amazing what a looping rhythm can do, and that sound you hear in the beat that sounds like copper pipes dropping on the ground is great. So is the organ/melody section.
Nuane - Perfect closer.

and tewe is the best track on that album.
everything else (with the exception of hub) is kinda "meh". it's good, don't get me wrong...and i like it a lot...but when stood up next to all ae's other stuff...i just don't like it quite as much.

i got tri rep++, but only because at the time i didn't know there was a difference...i bought amber...and then just proceeded to buy them whenever i saw them. i'm also stuck with LP5+1...i need to go and get all the others. what a pain in the ass.

Wow, I think you sleep even less than me.
Oh, and if anyone cares, my favourite Autechre albums are Chiastic Slide and Confield. Because I think they're good. So therefore I like them.

LP5 is my fave release by them, although i also listen to Confield and Draft pretty religiously. Wuts so great about Autechre is how each album varies so differntly. Look at the three i just mentioned, they are all completely different in sound. For this reason i rarely get sick of Autechre.

lp5 is one of the best electronic albums ever. hands down great melodic and rhythmic content. a varied record. lots of ground covered there. that album did alot for me, as far as opening the doors of possibility in music.

I can't remember chiastic slide isn't it the one with lots of that degraded hiphoppy stuff on there? If so it didn't really impress me a whole lot. Like it was ok.

just so you know all autechre albums are good... so don't worry about getting all of them.......
About LP5: for me it was one of those groundbreaking albums that totally blew my mind on what was possilbe with sound... by all means get it.... EP7 is sort of a companion piece which you'll also want.... then get confield and your mind will be blown again.....

lp5's tracks are very good. lp as a whole album is ok.
it's strange, i don't know why - some albums are the contrary (very good as a whole but no track especially brillant), but this one is the contrary of this contrary.
seeing how much you love Autechre there are pretty good chances you will love it anyway! (no?)
oh, and get Confield. : )

Rsdio kinda sounds like the music to a Sega game I used to play in the 80's. Maybe Rygar or something like that. I don't remember the name. Anyway, good track and inside of an oil can is a great representation. I think LP5 is a great next step, but you can't stop there because EP7 is a fucking gem!
