Agreed. I'm surprised so many people on here dismiss the music because they do not 'enjoy' listening to it. When I hear things that I do not immediately enjoy, but I can sense have some kind of artistic merit, I am inclined to give it more than a once-over. Alot of later Autechre is very difficult to get into. I love it now, but there was a time when all I looked for in music was melodies and bitchin' beats.. I didn't have the patience or understanding for all the abstract stuff. I have done alot of thinking about music since those years and have an entirely new appreciation for it today. In fact, I find myself latching onto the very tracks I thought were shit several years ago. This is not to mention that with Autechre, lack of overt 'feeling', I suspect, is largely the point. Just as I can be hit by the beauty of a piece of architecture, or a land formation, or something else technically emotionally removed, so I can also be struck by the sheer power and intricacies of a 'soulless' track by Autechre. It's not a reason for dismissal, it's just a different sort of way of writing 'music,' if you think that term applies. |

oh yeah, repetetive music pisses me off, period. fuck this 'use my own imagination' shit; I'm going to be using it no matter what, and if some metal loop is sawing my brain in half, well it's getting in the way of my imagination. That's why I like aphex; not this fucking loop hemorrhage shit. there, I read half of one post in this thread. |

Hello comrade. |

HAHAHAAHHA for Autechre's music is so immensely revelatory that mere human minds cannot grasp the spiritual and mathematically complex hidden meanings hidden therin. my fucking ass. there are MANY MANY minds on this planet for whom that music requires but a second of analysis. The truth is, they are mathematicians and are classically trained to the highest degree; their music is full of neo-classical references and mathematical gems that only the brightest of minds could understand. bullshit. just listen to the music and stop being retarded. qrter mentioned dael to me and I thought it was pretty (since I hadn't heard it in 9 months), but after 2 listens my brain started dying because it's one fucking loop and then another loop with shifting dynamic. Do you know how the inside of you computer works? Do you know how they made a firmware update when cassini was two years out to correct for doppler shift in huygen's transmissions? Have you seen chebyshev's proof for asymptotics of the density of primes? you're insulting the world's great minds. |

Well, I guess things are different. Moved, got a 2nd job, started seeing someone, so yeah. Been generally stressed aaand I don't even know anymore. Not listening to anything exciting reaally. Been away from my computer/stereo for a while with the move. By the way, I think CS2x is joking, or at least hope he is. It sounds like it. |

Yeah I hope he's joking too. I felt like being twattish. well I hope things pick up job wise.. and glad you're seeing somebody! I'm starting to feel the need.. staying away from computer is good.. I need to start doing that.. fuck speaking of which, g'night. |

Yes, I was joking. My first post didn't make any sense towards the end. It was inspired by annoying Autechre reviews I read while online which likened their music to the most ridiculous metaphors and were absolutely condescending. Anyway, that was fun! Bye. ps-I still love Ae though. But not for the reasons I initially gave; I like music that creates a powerful atmosphere and makes my brain work. Simply put, Ae fulfill this criteria for me (most of the time.) |
