i'm really into the album right now at this moment. it's good, but the drumstuff is often very load in the picture, and the start on some of the tracks still suck pretty much. but all the tracks are good at some stage. the cover. not as good as draft 7.30 at all, but it kinda reflects the "new style".. |

dear elusive and goodhands team, this is a messageboard for music discussion. the posts in this thread are supposed to be a discussion about the artwork and review of the upcoming album "Untilted". that's what has been happening in this thread. we are discussing what is supposed to be discussed. if you don't like it fuggin leave etc. seriously, i am perplexed - wtf don't you understand about people having opinions that are different than your own? get over yourselves. your dismissive little tantrums are the real annoyance in this thread. |

The thing I love about ae is their ability to generate controversy. Isn't all interesting art controversial and stimulating? I don't care if I'm engaged so long as I'm moved. Even to anger or derision. Having not heard any leaks yet, I'm encouraged. Fuck shit up. |

because it's all been shit comments discussion is not described as "Shame about the revolting artwork. I mean really, it is shit imho. " "That artwork is really really really shit. I hate it." "even the chocolate wheelchair cover artwork was better" "then the artwork truly sucks" "if not... Save that design for the tour t-shirts and the limited edition autechre snowboards that will follow." "uh, i dissagree as that was some of the worst artwork ever." " then the artwork truly sucks" AWESOME DISCUSSION! saying something is SHIT takes about < 10 seconds to type about the same amount of time the user put into thinking about it or just having fun with it. that's all. if you dont see my point, that's ok. |

i do see that point because that point makes sense. yeah, it's too bad not every post is going to shed brilliant insight - but that's something we must all expect by now... it is the internet. however, your other posts did not address quality: "you guys expect so much seriousyl when will it end each release more and more never enough just stop it cant you be happy with what you have jeezous either that or you think change is the deveil " if someone doesn't like the cover art it means they hate change?? or what about this: "why dont you go listen to mobys new album. hes 'electronica' isnt he? " these posts are dismissive nonsense. they are the same shit quality as the ones that just say "this artwork is lame" or whatever. my point is that the conclusions you have both drawn are completely illogical jumps-to-conclusions slagging the other people on this board. [/rant] |

"we must all expect by now... it is the internet. " we/you/us made it this way ... we have the ability to change it. and it wasn't like this some years ago. forget about that tangent.... oh well, at least we still have the board layout the only true thing left here .... |

Ok then... I don't really understand why they have selected this particular scheme for the cover, Ae and their designers (TDR/Alex Rutterford) usually come up with abstract and interesting ideas, like Draft or EP7, or minimal and classic like Confield or LP5, but this one seems to have been consciously created to look like a generic 90s dance CD cover, it is simple, but doesnt gel properly and it looks like something I was capable of producing at GCSE graphics, not the latest Ae cover. It might look different when I actually have the CD in my hands, and not as a low quality gif. Also it might yet be a fake. However when it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter, I and many others were just surprised by this choice of cover and want to discuss it. |

I liked my version better to be honest. This one looks like some kind of candy wrapper. |

Now that I think about it, its actually a good thing theres been all these autechre arguements. Just goes to show how each new autechre release is getting harder and harder to digest. I myself was displeased at first, and now I feel like an adult who realized half the phases they went through as teenagers were pointless and stupid. What I'm getting at is that I fucking love untilted and feel like a moron for brushing it off so quickly (like many of you have done this past month for the new ae album.) So many subtleties that can only be found after repeated listening. |

r40f>> point1: about 90% of the comments in this 'discussion' are people bad mouthing. over and over. so whats the discussion? maybe how REALLY SUPER bad the album and artwork are? like sorta bad compared to ultra bad? or maybe how much better each of the songs would have respectively been if the drums were softer in this spot or that spot? rating ones contempt=really productive. i have no problem w/ people having different opinions than my own, but i do have a problem w/ THAT SAME OPINION overwhelmingly dominating a so called discussion - of ANY release. especially one that: a) isnt out yet. b) is by a group who most people having anything to do with this board are directly or indirectly influenced by. not that they are sacred cows or anything - but this very much fits into the type of stuff that autechre does - sonically and visually. so i frankly dont understand the drama. but thats not to say i cant understand people not liking things - i do that all the time. point2: do you realize that you just said: "seriously, i am perplexed - wtf don't you understand about people having opinions that are different than your own?" whilst simultaneously dimantling my personal opinion (the one you seemingly disagree w/)?? "its like raaaeeeeaaaaiiiiin on your wedding day.." |

Well, I'll just say that I prefer songs like Parhelic Traingle, Tapr, Uviol, Rettic AC, Vl AL 5 and so forth because they showcase Autechre's ability to make sounds that don't relate to my past experiences. I truly heard NOTHING like that before. I don't get that feeling of discovery for any of these new tracks which is a little dissapointing but it doesn't mean i'm complaining about them. It just means I've expanded my musical horizons. I'm sure this album will produce that same feeling in someone else who's just getting into electronic music. |

it's not even them! holy moly someone is gonna be paying out of their ears for this mischevious deed. i agree with the comment about it looking like a design from the bottom of a snowboard in the mid 90's. personally, as a graphic designer, the color scheme is a bit awkward, merely because the blue and yellow are complimentary colors. as that might imply, they should "get along," but with a collaboration such as autechre, their style has previously been more analagous in hue. these look like they were smashed together. maybe that's the intent? not sure. i'll wait and see. |

I believe you need 3D glasses and to stare at it like a stereotropic picture to like it. |
