|
very much yeah..perhaps my favourite set of his! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex, I guess. There's an erratic, random nature to his canon of tunes that I appreciate. But I arguably like Autechre even more than Aphex. I'm a Freescha-guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well you see, it is a matter of taste, and i should have stated so, by no means to i consider ae better than afx, in any sort of way, aside from my own opinion, but i get what youre saying about afx producing great music, as i think this is the case, but ae imo make music that has more of an impact on me, i feel their stuff more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AUTECHRE but i also love aphex (difficult choise) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, yeah, we agree again..the point of this thread was personal preference i guess :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow...i only like the fact that it's my first time i saw him perform,other than that no. the music is too much minimal acid (wtf/lol) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that minimal acid is my favourite part in that set :) and it's all so perfectly timed and mixed together..you don't even notice the passes from one song to another and it's totally various music he's playing. it's nothing experimental, nothing to adventurous, it's the selection of songs what that is all about..first a bit chilly, something to warm you up and then it's just getting harsher and completly fucks you up at the end..it's music to dance to as opposed to experimentation. |

i don't like autechre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre. aphex twin is obsolete. the only thing that was interesting about his music was 200 snare-drums in a measure. how fresh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea,i noticed the mixes are well timed,but since i'm a dj i have that itch to notice when one track passes to another. is he playing live there or just a dj set? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interresting fact ...girls usually don't like Ae nor noise :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my wife hates ae. she likes aphex twin and plaid, go figure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, ofcourse you can notice the passes, but it's still very subtle :) it was a laptop set apperantly, as i don't see him change any vinyls, so he could have prerecorded it hehe, although by the looks of it he was mixing the songs live, and he was using that mixer quite a bit i think..both times i saw him he was playing from his laptop and vinyls all at once..personally i see him as the best dj, maybe not technically, but his selection of music totally suits my taste..especially what i want to hear when i go to a gig - something to dance to. |

not enough rhythm in autechre :-) nothing to shake their booty to.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe :) she compares ae to the sound a speaker makes when it brakes :( tis true, she loves windowlicker |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cause they're easier on the ears - it has a lot to do with a track's structure, I think. most popular "IDM" tracks are just popsongs with slightly weird sounds - verse/chorus/verse/chorus.. maybe even a bridge! as soon as the structure starts deviating people tend to walk away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should have played her some less abstract songs then..they put out some nice ones. i don't know the titles, but there are some quite melodic and emotional ones! |
||||||||
|
|

|

love me |

as soon as the structure starts deviating people tend to walk away. its funny you say this because even a lot of people who love music follow this type of listener, i find myself getting more involved in the music when there is something unique about it, whether it be structure or sound etc. <- that is not to say, im some type of musical elitist or something i enjoy pop music as much as anyone, and i own basically all afx and plaid etc. its just ae will stay with me more, their stuff is more important to me. |
||||||||

|
|
she dislikes emotional music, she likes the more traditional stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all kinds of musical structures can be great to listen to, be they more traditional or not. I feel like I should be wearing a labcoat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see..that's a problem then. do you compromise that when you, lets say, ridea in a car somewhere, or you just listen to what she prefers? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
labcoat: yes, but dont you find you can still enjoy non-traditional stuff rather than examine it? i may have to examine ae's stuff, but at the end of the day, it retains its musical beauty and becomes a more important musical piece for me, it effects me on a different level, without me having to fully see the guts of the track or piece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could you dance to ae? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some people can :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there were different phases: when we first dated, all my stuff all of the time - with little resistance from her after about 2 years, some of the less harsh stuff, and maybe her stuff here and there - with little ... now, the radio, she will not stand anything not resembling music, :( oh well, she did buy me a nice pair of bose headphones. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe, im sure if you saw them tomorrow at a show, they would play a dj set and some of their non dance stuff |
||||||||

autechre |

HAHAHAHA terrible!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i i get it...i mean i can understand them for being like this - music kind of gets us high so we're unable to have a normal conversation at the time we listen to music :) |
||||||||
|
|

I actually can't believe this is happening. I thought everyone loved aphex :( |

i <3 autechre aphex has some really cool fantastic stuff, but i hardly ever listen to him. as much as i love selected ambient works v2 and loads of his other stuff, i cannot get by without amber and everything else they've done! i am thrilled to bits that they are coming out with something this year; i have been waiting patiently. plus i am a huge skam records junkie (i guess for the earlier skam releases anyway), and i love gescom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ae, probably. Although i don't listen to either of them all that much. SAW1 and Surfing On Sine Waves hold a special little place in my heart, though. |
