Dear Autechre, You are undoubtedly one of the most important electronic acts of the last 20 years. Your record of great releases is without equal. Since the early 90s you have provided us with great electronic music and for that we thank you. It is now time to break up and do something different. Just one man's opinion. Warmly, thethirdball |

Are you trying to say: Quite while you're ahead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course by Quite I mean quit. |
||||||||
|
|

|

are they ahead? |

Hey thethirdball! Nice to see you. |

Excellent question. |

Thanks pomme - hope you all have been keeping well. I've deprived myself of this board in order to improve productivity. Gosh that's lame. :) |

'quit while you are disappointing but satisfactory' doesnt have the same feel to it |

they are nice, but not ahead or smthing. There was a time in my life when i considered them best of the best of the best but now i just continue to like them, good listen sometimes. But very seldom i put ae into the playing device or program. but I don't think they should quit, personally. |

i listened to untilted again yesterday. you were right, it is a grower! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really hope 'Untilted' doesn't sound the 'same' to you guys. I think theres a lot of difference in that compared to Draft. More distinct rhythms and beats. More distinct melody. If anything I think their coming out of their abstract shell for this one and Im loving it. Untilted is one of my favorite albums since LP |

Dear Venetian Snares, You are undoubtedly one of the least important electronic acts of the last 20 years. Your record of annoying releases is without equal. Since the early 00s you have provided us with harsh electronic music and for that we thank you. It is now time to stop smoking crack and do something different. Just one man's opinion. Warmly, Weatheredstoner |

Why so much VS hatin? He's not for everyone - that is for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ae, aphex, v snares, u-ziq et al = extremly overrated IMO there's so much wicked and beautiful electronica out there that deserves success and all I ever see on this board are people discussing the same old hackneyed acts, come on they were cool about ten years ago but not any more folks, time to move on ;) |

Come on Soundguy, working in a record shop you have access to all the new music, plus you know about the old guard, so give us your HOT TIPS of who you think ROCKS in ELECTRONICA, what is the music of the FUTURE/NOW? |

O.K. btw cheers for the Disco Inferno tip you gave me ages ago (check out D.I. kids for starters). for what it's worth people should be discussing this lot a lot more than they do Fizzarum, Arovane, ISAN, Bola, Dunaeswky69, Crunch, EU, Freescha, Brothomstates (OK it's warp but it's brilliant), Ochre, Esem, Sense that's just a few of the top of my head but IMO they are sooooo much better than all the millions of ae/rdj topics I see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those are all nice (don't know them all), and bbrothomstates is one of my fav artists on warp, but still they don't come close to afx and ae imo..they just don't possess that certain quality yet..afx and ae are a bit overhyped on this site though, that's true :) |

Genuine LOL. Pistol Disco >>> V. Snares |

He smoked crack. |

| |||||||||
|

Bola, B-states and Crunch (1) are all very nice. I talk about them as much as I can. Plus I can add lot more to your list like Ilkae and Funckarma but it wont matter... no one else has the same sound as AFX or AE. They are the 'pop stars' of idm-country so they will be the most talked about when something new comes out. Analord, Untitled are hot topics because they've just been released, you dont see too many people discussing Incunabula and SAW1. Just wait until the new BOC comes out. |
||||||||

Acually I wouldn't mind if they did break up. As long as they go on with solo careers. Twice the output! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soundguy, there's too much music to check out. i need at least a month or so EXCLUSIVELY with each new release i hear. there is simply not enough time to check everybody out i still find tons of new artists/albums that really hit me up good, but don't expect all the copycats (a lot of general nonsense) to get fed |
||||||||

The stuff I listed gives me much more than aphex ever did, I was bored with saw 1 & 2 within weeks of them being released although I did stick with RDJ lp for longer (it did get old eventually though). . I get little to nothing from any of his stuff now though , whereas tracks from say Crunch 1 or Fizzarum Monochrome Plural still send shivers up my spine years after they were released, it could be a taste thing, it could just be that their music has greater emotional depth, is more slow burning and isn't reliant on the whole "personality" thing and is therfore purer to me, I never really liked music that has novelty value (except for MC pitman) and let's face it Aphex is quite reliant on that for his success. |

Dear Autechre, You are undoubtedly one of the most important hip-hop acts of the last 20 years. Your record of great releases is without equal. Since the early 90s you have provided us with fat beats and for that I thank you. It is now time to visit the USA more often and play more fat beats. Just one man's opinion. Warmly, Cygnus |

"Fizzarum, Arovane, ISAN, Bola, Dunaeswky69, Crunch, EU, Freescha, Brothomstates (OK it's warp but it's brilliant), Ochre, Esem, Sense" ok BESIDES bola and maybe arovane or crunch from time to time and a particular eu 7" that's decent, these people are the reason i can hardly even listen to idm anymore....whispery-wishy-washy-boring-floaty...there is a reason autechre gets talked about so much when this is the alternative...i really can't imagine feeling more for these acts than i do for autechre's worst songs. |

It's not the alternative, it's in the same ball park only better IMO, if the only adjectives you can use are the ones you did then I suggest you listen harder and it's NOT IDM, it's not DANCE music, it's HEAD music, there's the difference maybe you guys need to take more acid or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHAH HEAD MUSIC? wait are you serious? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd don't think they'rre dating, saying that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
deadly serious, come on you can't dance to Crunch but lying back in bed with a head full of mushrooms, well it's beautiful, more beautiful then some cheesy AFX track Likewise, Sense on an atmospheric train ride through Europe is infinitley more preferable to an AE "shit a moth is flapping it's wings in my synth let's turn it into a track" type thing. You must know what I mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we're really on different wavelengths and this is pointless. enjoy laying in bed with sense, or whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whaaaaa? you're saying music sounds better when you're high? i've never heard of this before in my life! this is a revelation! i'm going to throw away my autechre cds right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they should generally just do something new. Then split up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently there were 3 members in the thompson twins aswell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, if "different wavelengths" means you can't appreciate the more cerebral nature of electronic music then I guess your right (strange that you use this board though and namechecked who you did) It's not pointless, defending your musical tastes is never pointless IMO,and please don't patronize me (like you've never listened to music in bed before) either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I'm saying that it can be beautiful when your high, not better. I'm not a mad druggie btw but I do have some fond memories Some great music is shit when your high, whatever you do don't ever listen to Radiohead high (if your a fan), just a warning. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right that there's a whole world of electronic music out there past autechre. there are a lot of great acts to listen to besides the big names. but i guess sometimes you (not you specifically) don't feel like listening to something great! if i'm in the mood to listen to dull and forgettable melodies, i'll pull out some sense. anyhow, i dont see why you've brought drugs into it unless you think they are some sort of key to the "cerebral nature of electronic music?" lol |

Senses melodies are some of the most emotive and soul stirring I've heard in electronic music for quite some time, O.K. they aren't immediatley "catchy" but there's something sensuous (no pun intended) and melancholic about them that just really appeals to me. They are slow burners, took me about 2 months to really "get" them, though I did like them (not love) straight away. forget "different wavelengths" maybe we just have different Sense records, "Learning to be" is the one I'm referring to and I only really like about 6 tracks off it but I REALLY like those tracks. I brought drugs into it because they are a catylyst (not a key) to appreciating music on a deeper level. |
||||||||

|
|
it's too late - my whole electronic music collection is gone forever and i'm about to shoot up. this was YOUR IDEA. i hope you're not telling me to back out now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Errrrr never mentioned shooting up, think you missed my point mate. Psychedilics (when the time is right) and smoke is all you need for music and if you can't appreciate music without drugs then, well you don't really like music at all I guess ;) It's just sometimes they can ENHANCE (and that's the golden word) music and I'm glad that I have experienced that "enhancement" in my life, that's all. |
