I have mentioned this twice before..
anyway, I listen to autechre very rarely these days (with the exception of amber). However I've noticed that I can enjoy the other discs, but I have to listen to them through, and necessarily from the beginning.
what other artists are this sensitive to continuity/structure? (with the exception of shitty 4 hour ambient 'tracks', which honestly you could fast forward to any point and it might as well be the begging (sorry, belligerent.)
note of course this doesn't totally brainwash me; for instance I just don't like lp5, end of story.

in electronica terms, I'd say "music has the right to children" and "brownout".
it's not necessary, but it's nice.

interesting, I didn't like that phoenecia album, maybe because my initial spazzz test with new downloads is fast forwarding all over the place and seeing if it seems quality on a small scale.
tolstoyed, you're just explaining brainwashing, and don't worry I understand that very well.

When I get my mp3 player monday I'm pretty excited about shifting over to a more album-atomic listening style, which should help my ADD.

I'd agree that 'music has the right...' should be played through. Also drukqs is a good one to play through.

"brownout" really 'opens up' if listened to as a whole album.
the best 'whole album' thing for Autechre for me is undeniably "chiastic slide".

i don't listen to a track that i think that sucks. people who listen to tracks they don't like because they don't want to skip a track suck...but on the other hand, when i find an album that i don't have to skip on it's generally pretty good.

thanks. I didn't make it; I was bored and reading some funny livejournal, and a girl accidentally posted in a thread.. and I just fucking stole it. I know nothing about her, she might be a total loser, but I thought it was the most adorable thing I've ever seen, which is of course a hard thing to admit.

well certainly not always. I have a couple albums which only have 2 or 3 good tracks..
I think whole album listening is healthy if 80% of the tracks are quite good, and the others get brought up to par through continuity.

hahahaahahahahaha this is the person who had it; glad I didn't check earlier, as I would have never stolen it due to vomit cramming my keys.

my point is that, regardless of whether this is your habit or not, autechre sounds better in this manner, and which other artists do? This is interesting regardless of your current personal listening modes.

I listen to full albums maybe Ninety Per Cent of the time. Listening to stuffs on mp3 is bad, it makes you want to skip tracks for no good reason. Albums are in that order for a reason, motherchuffers.

That's why I'm thinking a 1 gigabyte audio player may be a godsend (don't worry! not ipod); I'll have some important files on there, 2-3 hundreds of megs free for recording and nonsense, and then a collection of albums.

tim hecker's haunt me (haunt me do it again) feels like one giant track to me. i always listen to it from the beginning in it's entirety, with the exception of having to go somewhere during the listen and shutting it off.
also, i agree with darius, i rarely listen to single songs.

i like albums better when i can listen to them as a whole, so basically i will buy stuff or get into to stuff where i like the entire thing, now there are some things that dont meet this criterion, some eps are hit or miss, alot of albums with vocals i rather get sick off, or if an album has some vocal tracks vs some instrumental tracks i will like the non-vocal ones better - a good example is plaids not for 3's - i will skip over some of the trip hop stuff to more of the electronic stuff.
