Maybe Autechre's music is a secret alien code language.
Think about it.

maybe autreche's music is a pretentius aestethic concept
that leads nowhere and is a waste of time.

its like bach he wrote songs according to formulas, my a
level music exam involved using his formulas to finish
incompletly scored chorals. autechre write songs (it
appears) using mathmatic formulas. now thats kool n what not
but hey.... fuck the numbers write the tune,

imo autechre are highly overratted i like em but i cant
listen to em much and untitled is pisspoor shit compared to
the older stuff.... but thats my opinion and its obvious im
amongst many who dissagree so .... welll yer :)

Well that's constructive isn't it? :-/

No-one cares about electronic music? On an electronic music
board? Are you sure?

Agreed in many ways, but I just prefer the older stuff, by
the way just out of interest, what's your favourite track
off Chiastic Slide?

I don't disagree! And "OK" I could agree on some levels that
the recent stuff is pretentious, but I'm presuming you can't
be describing the earlier stuff as pretentious too? :-/

I think this is an interesting thread...after all, opinions
are what electronica's all about...oh no wait, that's
football... :-)

My favorite tracks off Chiastic Slide are the first and the
last. They have powerful atmospheres, great melodic ideas
and nice crunchy beats.

I'm not sure about their new stull, although I always enjoy
listening to Confield.

They're not pretentious really, they're just mucking about
(as they keep saying in interviews) with no "higher motive"
whatsoever.

fuck you
confield rocks, draft rocks, stop analyzing the music and
just listen to it.

confield is their best ever, no doubt about it, it has more
melodies than most songs too..

calling them pretentious is also retarded, if you listen to
confield enough you will find that it is in fact very
emotional and they spent alot of emotional time putting it
down to black and white, pretentious would be if they were
trying to sound intellectual and all that shit, but they're
not.

autechre are the only ones who make this type of music which
i enjoy so much, im sorry you dont get it.
when i first heard uviol, pen expers, i remember it was back
in 2001 and i had bought the album cause the clerk
recommended it to me, and i remember playing it really loud
all night, i had never heard anything like it.

so STOP analyzing and just listen, if its not your cup of
tea, fine, but dont come analyzing it trying to sound like
you know what the fuck you're talking about, at least listen
to it enough so that you have a right to dismiss it/call it
pretentious.

if talk about any music at all on this site, it means you
must hate that music, because you would rather go on the
internet than listen to it :D

Not sure who that's a reply to, but if it's to my good self,
I'd mention that it's not that we (or I at least) "don't get
it", but more that I prefer older Autechre to newer...

And how can you listen to music without analysing it????
