listening to whole autechre albums

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.

to his latest one all in the same session.

i agree, i notice that the albums are sound alot better when
u listen to the who thing eg tri repeate and amber, i think
they flow so well, makes for much better listenin

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.

couldn't you pick any of his songs and just say you listen
to all them in order? I mean they all sound the same
basically...

explosions in the sky - the earth is a cold dead place
the album flows so well together, like one large tune

I don't know. I always listen to full albums. People who
don't do this, they suck.

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.

random
or skip

= i'm slave to music, not to albums or tracks

usually i have time only for launching winamp and checking
what my slsk has caught

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.

oh yeh, one of the most perfectly flowing albums out there!

also, Photek's Modus Operandi. it's simply flawless.

comes monday, holy shit I'm happy.

fuck I'm listening to dael for the second time in 10 months,

penetrating the chick in the apartment above me.

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.

tim heckers albums are always like that, like you've just
tuned into a radio braodcast, and your trying to get a
signal.. i dunno, i find it really dissatisfying

The disturbing part of this tale is not your thievery so
much as the fact that you were surfing livejournals :D

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.
