I'm mike, and I have a problem. I need to have, on cd, every track autechre/gescom have ever made. Can someone please advise me how I can go about getting all those autechre remixs without resorting to an expensive bulk purchase of singles with an autechre mix on their b-side, by god knows how many artists that i don't give a shit about? I'm afraid mp3 just won't do. You can hear the compression in the high end. What can I say, I'm a purist. |

Please refer to earthleakage with all your Autechre problems, he should be able to help |

give all your money to me and I'll cure you of this nasty habbit. |

sean&rob@haveanautechre.com emale them and go from there. good luck. |

How do you expect to have all tracks if you don't want to buy the releases, or dl mp3? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A near impossible task. It was plain sailing until I saw "mp3 just won't do". Even if you were willing to buy every release with an ae remix on, you wouldn't be able to because they are so rare, and a lot of them are vinyl only. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I urge people dissatisfied with mp3 to seriously consider ogg. That's all I use.. of course it sucks if you have a device which doesn't understand them, but whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oggs frequency-range is even smaller than mp3. why the fuck would you want to downgrade?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I realise my snooty rejection of mp3 does make it a tad tricky (c'mon, you know you can hear the compression! and don't give me any smartypants "incomplete without surface noise" crap... it's not surface noise like vinyl, it's distortion). And the chance of them suddenly releasing a '26 mixes for cash' type thing is pretty slim. Vanishingly so. I reckon my best bet is to watch out for autechre completists on ebay selling off all their stuff to fuel their all-consuming drug habits. Or perhaps pay such completists to post me a CDR. Would be a little miffed if they just posted me a CD of ripped mp3s though. |
||||||||

mp3's arent that bad, man. I'm no "Dr. Audio" but I find as long as it's 192kbit or more I am happy. Anything below that is pretty bad, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's probably more intelligent. besides, frequency range isn't the big deal. Pop open a spectrum analyzer and compare source wav with ogg and mp3--it's clear from that who does how. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mp3s and oggs are dead to me. they sound like a robot that has hammers instead of ears, and it uses these hammers to make music by calculating the exact intervals to use for each beat. but I'm going home now. OFFICELIFE SUCKS (good compared to other jobs, though). IJEST! |

Human eyes are much more developed than ears. I personally find oggs to be good enough, and to be clearly superior to mp3s. But I'm not stupid enough to trust only my ears, so I did experiments like the one I said, generating visuals, and you can't argue with that. (I thought it was firmly established that ogg (a) is close enough to CD and (b) annihilates mp3) |

Haha Rip all the data, then post it back to them, bit by bit... "What's that just come through the postbox, Sean?" "Dunno maetl, let's have a looksie. Hmm... looks like....." "Well? What is it?" "It's... it's... oh god no... it's out beloved Ensoniq ASR10, Rob! But it's been mangled and bent and cut into little pieces... no, don't look Rob, you'll have another funny turn... remember lentic catachresis..." Etcetera. |

Sean: Hi Rob, do you like my new cap ? Rob: What kind of cap do you call that? Sean, Why, a cap.iv of course!!!!!! Rob: ahahhahahahhhah!!! Let's go to the swimming pool????? |

An experimental swimming pool, with nonlinear volumetric geometry and a springboard that goes "ffssszzzzDONK" instead of "boing". |

|

best.....thread....ever! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tell me what 'volumetric' is doing in your sentence, other than pissing me off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a swimming pool, and therefore has volume. 2D swimming pools are too progressive even for autechre, and probably not much fun either. But mostly it's just there to piss you off. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(I meant that volumetric was redundant.. and nothing in autechre is redundant) My jokes suck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That may be, but your avatar rules. Me, I gots the jokes AND the avatar. Truly I "have it all". I'd say lowride (incunabula) is pretty redundant. Worst autechre song ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...get a room you two. |

Ibrowse Ebay every day, and I have never seen people selling a complete Ae-collection. If you start with releases with Ae-remixes, you will have to collect 60-70 releases. And then you can start with tracks on compilations before you move over to Gescom-releases, Gescom, remixes, and Gescom appearances. What are we talking about then? Complete Ae/Gescom? 200 releases? Complete your Ae-collection, start collecting Gescom-releases, and be happy with various remixes/tracks as mp3. Just like I do. That's just a friendly advice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, a volumetric room with... I'll shut up. ffssszzzzDONK. |
||||||||

and |

I know you're right, mortsto-x. But it's not the same! Boo hoo. re: Gescom releases... i've just ordered the Iss:sa EP. Internet consensus seems to be that Key Nell is well worth getting, but I can't find it anywhere - Warpmart, Skam, Amazon, etc. Boo hoo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe....that's someone's favourite ae song here! can't remember who it was...maybe revpersona or refund or ambsace or someone :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm glad you said so--lowride really is a piece of shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let me just counteract my sacrilege by mentioning tracks I think don't get enough mention (maybe 'cause of the anti-early autechre bias?): 444, further, and teartear.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it was revpersona thought so :) goes to show how people's taste differs so widely... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know there are some other shops as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

my god i love further! and nine, too that whole album is fucking class ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and totally underrated btw |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, but that's on albums and ep's only... |
||||||||

Cheers morts. |

I'd say lowride (incunabula) is pretty redundant. Worst Autechre song ever. Clearly you've never heard CapIV. Technically wicked (though MAX/MSP does it all for them) but totally soulless shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haven't heard draft yet... soulless, eh? contradicts most opinions of people saying its more melodic than 'confield'.... but interesting anyway! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cap is gantz, not draft.. you should check draft sometime, it's pure fucking glory |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's from the Gantz Graf thing. The video to that is also very nice to look at but not especially affecting. I'm not hugely into Autechre. I loved Chiastic Slide, though I only ever listen to it about once a year cos it doesn't have enough humanness about it. Like listening to machines wanking or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, whoops sorry! but yeah i will check draft soon, it's inevitable *faints* too much to buy! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some of ae's melodies are very warm and human. Try: Draun Quarter on the Envane EP Clipper on Tri Repetae Most of Amber Anvil Vapre EP Garbage EP Surripere on Draft 7.30 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Incunabula is wicked to sleep to actually. Tri Repetae I wasn't much into except for the nice ambient Overand thing at the end. But the melodies on some of EP7 and Chiastic are the best. That was my favourite period of theirs cos they'd evolved enough to sound better than a bog standard techno outfit but not so much that they begin to disappear up their own arseholes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Am I the only one who likes both lowride and cap iv? Great beginning and great ending. |
