"Like fellow sample artist Beck, Autechre are masters of sticking together random free-associations to make a moving, living carnival of layered cacophony. " Wow. |

try any of the autechre reviews over at allmusic.com. I can't quote from them, because I'm on 56k at the moment and I just tried loading allmusic and it's not going to happen. |

Everyone's already seen this, but... Autechre records are purchased solely by bald men in expensive anoraks who would masturbate to a car alarm if it was re-mixed by a German. This impenetrable curtain of misanthropic noise - released with an accompanying three-track DVD that features a squabble of hopelessly pretentious video "interpretations" - is typical of the menopausal electro-manglers' dogged refusal to bow to convention and produce anything of interest to anyone not either a) bald or b) German. It bleeps. It skronks. It krrraaaanks. But mainly, it blows like a ruddy awful hurricane. Remember, kids; if it sounds like a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank, it's because it IS a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank. Avoid as you would a bald German. |

I draw your attention to the review of "confield" on allmusic: "Despite the dozens of experimental electronics producers constantly nipping at their heels, Autechre remained at the forefront of academic sound processing with a highly awaited sixth full album. Whether pushing the next new thing in 2001 is enough to keep listeners coming back to this LP years later is a much different question, and the assault of non-rhythmic beats sprayed all over Confield is enough to keep most from even trying. Opener "VI Scose Poise" is a bouncing-ball-in-a-ring-modulator production that reveals only a few of Autechre's excellent minor-key melodies, while the second off, "Cfern," keeps listeners guessing as well with a parade of conflicting rhythms and head-spinning beats. In fact, it's a palpable relief when "Cfern" leads directly into more straightforward electro territory with "Pen Expers." There are faint glimpses of the melancholy beauty of Autechre's early work, but this experimental, rigidly academic work is a record to respect, not enjoy." |

I'm surprised 3-1/2 stars were awarded considering the slightly-negative review attached to that rating... |

It's about Sarah Dempster, who wrote that article about Gantz Graf, which is an EP by Autechre. |

With the lowest of warning rumbles "LCC" launches forward like a rocket-propelled train on dangerously uneven track. The track's structure, streamlined to facilitate maximum forward momentum, communicates a sense of great urgency. "LCC" might be a study in entropy: by its close the tempo has slowed to a trudge, weighed down by drowsy, quavering synthetic tones. The initial velocity of both this first track and its successor, "Ipacial Section", recalls Jungle's urgency circa 1992/93, except that the ruffneck attitude of yore is here extruded into a parallel universe, viral rhythms unfolding in a fractal rapidity that mutates inexorably. haha, that's REALLY deep. |

Untilted marks a new form of frenetic starkness that might be compared to Alva Noto's output, except that Autechre's sound is less clinical and more viscerally muscular. hahaha wtf? |

Autechre are pretentious, and the only reviewers that like them are pretentious too. |

not too shabby "Anytime people write about Autechre they always call them complex, which is about as good a description as there is. The Warp and Skam recordings duo, composed of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, has a bastardized post-electro sound that can sometimes make you feel like you're getting beat up by beats or else doing difficult mathematic equations to the sound of music, but they occasionally let some beauty and light filter through. They are playing live—which means a lot of indie-rock nerds who would otherwise never like techno, standing perfectly still and looking dourly at the stage. " |

Thing is, NME call Rephlex Records 'probably the coolest record label on the planet' - or something similar. If they had any knowledge of the relationship between these artists (on Rephlex and Warp) they PROBABLY (emphasis) wouldn't have published - as they always seem to do - such a load of misinformed, unresearched, small-minded, gobshite, trash. Remember how they went on about The Strokes being this new and innovative new sound. No mention of the (as it seems to me at least) obvious influences from The Velvet Underground and The Stooges. I'm just ranting. But stuff like that FUCKS ME RIGHT OFF. |
