w00t isnt this great? the whooping sounds in the first track.. second track - rettic AC - reminds me of cumcumbers being squashed trough a telephone line another masterpiece :) |
||||||||
|
|

brilliant |

Official MappatazeeTM's favorite Autechre album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only track i dont really enjoy is the kinda beatless one near the end.. i think its called pule. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pule is the perfect moment of serenity after the rough static ending of recury and before the assault of nuane |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the album is mediocre, i think. i dunno. compared to everything else they put out that year, especially. cichli suite? envane? mmmmmmmmm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pule is like breathing, it makes me think of soaked trees or wood or some weird mushroom trip having to do with wet moss. *boggle boggle* The one I don't like really is cichli, it has a few good elements though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not really a big fan of Autechre, but Pule and Tewe are pretty nice pieces. Is there more that sounds more like this from them? ah.. have to add Nuane as a good track as well... (I'm listening on bleep right now). ..I might end up buying this CD if I see it, actually... but only if I see it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
From what I can remember pule's melody is symmetrical, if you play it backwards it sounds the same as it does forwards apart from the actual sounds being in reverse. I could be wrong though, as I was completely mashed when I tried it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drunken, you should listen to the album whole so you can see how it all fits together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I probably should.. I'll have to hope I see it... if I see it on vinyl, it's definately going down! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really a stunning CD. I like pule for precisely the reason horsefactory gave--a moment of respite before the storm. It's ridiculously innocent, and nuane isn't only nasty but also a culmination of tracks before it (see how beats develop between it and the two immediately prior pule). The first tracks are all really pretty as well. I think hub, rettic ac (for alternating current? something to do with the static and sound fluctuation?), and nuane are my favorite tracks. Someone was asking about 'happy IDM tracks' a while back and I was surprised when none of these were mentioned. They keep playing around with shocking timbre changes in this.. it used to often bother me when recury came on. I like how rettic AC and calbruc are two approaches to a similar problem.. one day I need to sit down and parse all of these titles. |

If you can find a way to relate the album title and the number 4, you are a genious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You mean simple letter combinations? It's quite easy, and there are a few logical ways. chiastic slide .. cichli li from slide and cich from first is one way (I'm doing some hand waving on details for sake of boredom). I guess you can keep first two and tag them on to reversal of last two. There are more rigorous/formulaic ways to explain it... what I really mean is I need to expand all the words and relate definitions.. Nuane sounds most obviously like nuance, but nuane is violent. Maybe it's a paradox? I bet it's something much more complicated though, or some homonym shit (like drukqs) |
||||||||

|
|
Meh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its quite nice actually.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like about half this cd, but i agree with absace... if they gave this the tri rep treatment and put those 2 eps on a second disc with it, id buy it. especially cichlisuite. tilapia.... mmmmmmmmmmmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm going to have to listen to it again... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but do you people who like and have all the music by autechre consider this their best album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can never decide between this, confield and draft, but it is definitely always a contender. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

After Tri Repetae++, the stunning leap forward with which Autechre astounded the techno world, the duo's fourth proper album came as a disappointment to many. The waves of polar static and mechanic clicks which distinguished Tri Repetae make Chiastic Slide little more than a variation on a form. Even worse, the album has too few ideas for its near 70-minute length, and the duo seem content with short loops being repeated and repeated over again for up to ten minutes on a single track. Though several songs are on a par with Tri Repetae — and that's being generous — Chiastic Slide just can't compare with Autechre's other work. |

|

the thing with this cd is, i heard so many people saying it is one of their favs, and i just think the things this album does well are kinda covered by tri rep and lp5. i dont know... i dont see this one as really having a defined identity like most do. i have definitely warmed up to this album more, but i just think theres somethign im not getting. |

You sound like Alan Partridge when he phones his ex-wife and tries to insult her car by reading her a review of it in a desperate attempt at getting his point across. "Not my words, but the words of Top Gear Magazine" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tri repetae++ is really a nice grab, isn't it? Especially since the part from garbage is what I like so much.. it's doubtful they'll do this, why don't you try to check a couple of the good tracks (lots of suggestions on this thread) and give it a listen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I cannot relate to that at all. This album has much more of a definitive style to it than LP5, and is a lot deeper than that or Tri Repetae, in my eyes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By the way, Harrisburg is kind of a cute place--I drove through one month back. Ate at the firehouse, probably the strangest social meeting place/restaurant ever. The site laggy for everyone else right now? I feel like I'm communicating with mars friggin global surveyor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the tri repetae++ bundle is a real grab though, and that's what he was referring too. I listen to it a lot, but more so the second disc than the first.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no... not the firehouse. yeh, this town is "cute" but trust me... you wouldnt want to live here. high redneck population, almost no genuine culture to it. all the artists here are snobs, cuz they think theyre one in a zillion or something. bogus. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dude I was really perplexed by the firehouse. A friend forced me to eat there--I wanted to eat at 'second wok' next to 'the spot' (in NYC I often eat at this cheap chinese shithole called 'wok city' next to my old school). Anyway, it seemed like it was the high society meeting place. It was fucking surreal. Oh and they treated me and my friend like shit. Any funny stories? I'll warn you when I get near harrisburg again (I may be driving through in about half a year--still uncertain). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, if you drive through... im always down for an xlt meeting of the minds. i have stories... its funny that you were gonna eat near the spot. theres a few bars around here that are real funny. glasse from the board here showed me a good one next to this sheraton hotel. irish pub, live celtic music. its nice for the first hour, but then youre like "can we go NOW!?!?!?!?!?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HA, that's pretty awesome. The spot was terrifying. I walked in and 40 people with mullets and lumberjack clothing either glared at me or managed to ignore me in some elaborately hostile way. I walked in, walked out. People looked like they lived there. Yeah I'll definitely tell you when I stop by. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the spot is even more hilarious if you go in totally by yourself and oyu manage to have a really cracked out guy sitting near you. i dont know about you, but the LAST way i wanna go out is by having a gas0huffer slash my throat cuz he thinks my head is the devil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think if you switch Chiastic Slide and LP5 their albums would be lined up best to worst, newest being the best, but theirs no way LP5 could follow Tri Repetae. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. I'll try to see if I see tri repetae, then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Um that didn't make sense. I meant chronologically, oldest being the worst, with the exception of Chiastic Slide and LP5 which should be switched, but that wouldn't sound right going from Tri Repetae to LP5... ah, who cares what the hell am I talking about? Nevermind, sorry for ruining this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like recury and calbruc best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is a good album. doesn't beat Amber, though. "tewe", "pule", and "cipater" are my favs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tewe is excellent... ill say that. also quite fond of nuane. i like the aeon flux-ity of that track... just very anime. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this was the first autechre album i bought. it may be for sentimental reasons but it's still one of my favourites. cichli is probably the ae track that i've listened to the most. nuane was the first one that i loved off this album but cichli got all my affection later on. sounds like machines haveing sex. wicked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it takes 4 words to form a chiasm (is that the english spelling?) ..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The way Cipater goes through its changes round the middle is incredible. I just love listening to the part where the clicks start speeding up and slow down and change rhythms |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
err. click start speeding up and OTHER ELEMENTS* slow down |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are a genlus. Or . Scroll down to chiasm. Maybe that is why the artwork is covered with plus signs. Yay, now each autechre album relates to its number or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no im just a nerd whos taking greek classes, and all those old manuscripts are ridden with fancy writing styles such as chiasms, pars pro toto and alliteration and such (i dont know if im using the right terms) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooo i like this album. haven't listened to it in a while. it kind of has an association to a part of my life that isn't so pleasant now so whenever i listen to it reminds me of that time. booo to bad musical associations. yay to this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm surprised at it's relative low score in the current poll. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I take it all back - this is my favourite album in the whole entire fucking world. |
