i heard them live. i say "heard" because there was nothing to see but smoke and glowing laptops. The music was crappy nothing recognizable. It went on for about an hour and i think i only heard the music change 4 times. just thump thump thump and static. pretty awful! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was one of the most boring "live" performances i've ever seen. but i bought a t-shirt anyway! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
An Autechre shirt? What's it look like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how unlike their music.. |

hey...get out of this thread ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you mean? i only got back coz of this thread :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i downloaded autechre live @ coachella, and i must say this all sounds really nice and interesting, well, at least the first 15 minutes i've heard so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you really, I mean REALLY want to give them a try..download Live in Vancouver ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i have that..but i like this coachella better :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course, I should have known better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Some if sounds very repetitive from what I've downloaded. I mean, that's ok for when you're sitting at hope surfing the net, but I dunno how I'd enjoy it if I was standing up in a room with loads of other people for two hours or whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, people sometimes dance when they go out...to which repetative music lends itself quite nicely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh...I wish I had have been present at the venue mcr quarter was recorded in. It's is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

agreed. mcr quarter is fucking fat |

AE live was terrible f***ing experience. Not only did we only get a stream of what might as well been white noise for over an hour (I'm not joking when I say there wasn't a shred of music of rhythm in it), but after the show was over I was hanging out at the venue bar (grabbing one for the road) - when all of the sudden I get elbowed hard in the back... I turn around to find that it's Sean throwing some kind of "get the fuck away from me" hissy fit with another one of the concert goers. Yeah man - Real nice way act to the lot of people who've filled their pockets buying one obscure release of theirs after another. The whole thing really turned me off to them as people. I now need to not think of "them" when I listen to Autechre / Gescom / Insert cleverly disguised pseudo name here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
PS - Old Autechre live was awesome - I do need to say that. But some time after EP7 / Confield, they decided to no longer play "songs". They're pretty much improv..... and It shows. So to repost - Old AE good - New AE = spoiled, lazy, boring brats. (But I'm not bitter or anything) - This is hard for me to say as they had been for a very long time my absolute favorite electronic act, but I must be honest. |
||||||||
|

Thanks for sharing, gl1tch. I never imagined them to be that bad, even though they've come across as twats sometimes in interviews. Maybe Sean was high or something; could explain the white noise that they were spewing out! After all, when you're high, anything sounds good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the possibility that Sean had a bad day/show doesn't really mean they're "bad" glitch: my old mate - who introduced me to ae music and was their big fun - says the same: lazy , spoiled |
||||||||

"their big fun" LOLOL [fun=fan] |

"lazy, spoiled".....I thought they took time on their tunes. |

well now we know :) |

you may think those beats are improv, they aren't. they are programmed meticulously. you hear it when you actually try to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh... autechre live rocks. The best part are the people that don't get it trying to a) dance to it like normal music, and getting all messed up in their step and appologizing b) the people who ask you "this is the future of techno???". Heh... when they are playing, they actually bop their heads up, instead of down, like normal people. I love ae. |

i only heard a few bootlegs but if you listen to the last 3 trx of vancouver 99 (or 98), its bloody awesome. ae seems to work like chessplayers, they starts with wild but simples beats, you have no idea of what will come next & slowly they add incredibly complex beats, sounds & bleeps to their core trx & after 5 minutes, you get it into the sounds surrounded by billions of differents sounds, its like a machine that gets more & more intense, complex & could never end. from what i've heard, they're wiked live...most musicians that improvises, i think, they prepares a lot before, like those old japanese painters... |

love coachella and vancouver's pretty good too.. if they're touring i'll be seeing them... even if its a plane away. <- 7\ ? |

i knew someone was gonna say that when this thread popped up again :D |

Their beats are not actually meticulously programmed all the time. For example, in Surripere, the beats in the second half are mostly just the same beat being pissed about with, live, with various beat-fucking plugins. Like a cooler version of taking a beat and usuing buffer override with it for half an hour and producing a beat which sounds like it took a lot of work but did not. I am drunk so I may be talking poo poo. |

actually they've said that all that shit is written note for note. |

Fucking hell. gotta step in here. What is it with people that act personally insulted because AE haven't made tri repeatae two? There's loads of people that make stuff like that now..if you want that go listen to it, it's there. Gl1tch.... Their stuff live has utterly shitloads of content, it is anything but noise...something you've clearly never heard. As for your comments about Sean getting annoyed with a concert goer, what the fuck? Do you think because you bought an Ae CD once that means sean and rob OWE you? I'm sure there was valid reason for what was going on behind you, why should he fuck about? if someone was cunting him about he's perfectly in his rights to tell him to fuck off. anyone is! "Old AE good - New AE = spoiled, lazy, boring brats." Now lazy is a laughable comment....BTW, critic the ideas not the person. You're comments are ignorant. If you want to know what ae have sounded like in the past live get Live at Manchester or Live in Chicago and LISTEN to it rather than go on the opinions of others. At any rate fuck knows what they are going to be like live this time round. In case you haven't noticed they like to mix shit up... something that seems to endless get up the noses of some people but you'd think you'd notice that it's pretty much central to all of this music. |

wow lupus yonderboy. You got way bent off of an opinion thread. Man. If you only knew how much money I've spent on AE / AE Remixes / Gescom and misc. other Sean and Rob projects (There's almost nothing I don't owe - I believe in buying music), you'd back the fuck up. I love their stuff, but that's not what this thread is about. It's about AE "Live". So fucking chill man. |

I was there for the Detroit show and it was NOT one of their best. Their Set was the same as the one in London of that year. It wasn't them though, the sound system was shitty. My friend get pretty freaked out when most everyone started bowing their heads and doing their best to bob to the fucked up beats. It was great seeing them in person though and hope they come back sometime. Fucking great audience reception too. |
||||||||
|
|

|

ref to john cleese's character in faulty towers. Yes the Detroit show had far too much bass but i think remebering reading that they didn't get a sound check.... they sounded good when i seen them at ATP. |

To enjoy AE live, you probably have to get stoned, stoned with other peolple and than AE becomes an intellectual group experince.... |

Wouldn't that make it less enjoyable? I mean, it's not really danceable stuff...more music you have to concerntrate on. I've never seen them live, but I can dance to Venetian Snares and the like, so I wonder how danceable Ae are live. Do they ever do mad beat driven stuff or is it normally more ambient/noisy/subtle? The stuff I downloaded seemed to be fairly straightforward 4/4 stuff (well, for Ae at least) although I only have 2 files. |

"I wonder how danceable Ae are live" Fav+ "LAUNCH: Can you be bothered with new electronica, two-step, Radiohead? RDJ: im into 3% step and 54foot-slide " |

"To enjoy AE live, you probably have to get stoned, stoned with other peolple and than AE becomes an intellectual group experince...." yeah...i got that from listening personally:) hello monoid. |
