[10/11 - New Xltronic Weekly Poll]

2003-2005, two years full of great releases.
The more famous musicians from Warp/Rephlex/Planet Mu and
their last LP released on these labels (apart analord who
are eps obviously).
But which one is the best in the opinion of xltronic
community?

I think our board has best ears of the web... now just a
simple click and vote!

\/\/.

my fav is definitely untilted, all those others are alright,
but untilted is much more up to my likings.

Isn't it a bit weighted in the area of Analord?

11 eps from me as opposed to 1 album from the others?

VOTE ANALORD anyway.

I voted Untilted because I listened to this album several
times and I enjoyed it a lot.

Spokes: it was pretty good, but somewhat forgettable.
nothing really new compared to other Plaid releases from
what i remember.

Sheath: i don't have it. i almost bought it though,
but i bought another album instead... (don't ask me which
one, it was long ago)

YosepH: i remember liking a track (maybe the title
track, if there is one) but finding what i had listened from
the others (including "I Love Acid") just average/kinda
boring, so i didn't buy it (nor download it nor anything).

Billious Paths: i can't say i paid attention to this
release... nothing i've heard by µ-ziq caught my attention
that much anyway.

Ultravisitor: good stuff.

Analord 1-11: i just have three tracks in mp3... two
i downloaded from a ftp someone had posted here and one
someone sent me... my first impression about them was "meh".
i listened to them again recently and i found them rather
good. but whatever, i haven't listened to them since then
anyway.

The Campfire Headphase: you know what i think of
boards of canada don't you? kinda nice but not mindblowing,
always the same, gets boring so quickly. next!

Untitled: i only listened to it on the Warp site... i
like "Fermium". don't have the album though, the other
tracks didn't impress me that much. anyway it's too close to
what i already have (and too seldom listen to) by Autechre;
i didn't get Draft 7.30 for that same reason.



the only Warp release i'm really interested in getting right
now would be Smash by Jackson & His Computer Band... what
i've heard sounded good.

Fermium was good, but you should hear to Untilted with more
attention in my opinion, there are others tracks you might
enjoy as well, like "Lcc" and "Sublimit".

I thought as you when I listened to them for the first time,
but just give it some time, because Untilted is an album
that will grow with time, as all autechre's stuff.

1) i already have a lot of stuff by Autechre. too much
compared to how often i listen to them. far too much...

2) even if they're good and i respect them, i almost never
listen to their music now. i do it when i'm really in the
mood - and that happens once in a blue moon. when i'm not
completely in the mood for it, it just bores me.

3) trying to give it 384 listens before appreciating it
"entirely", like some people here do, is a ridiculous in my
opinion. i can give an album time, a lot of time, but not
dozens and dozens of unenjoyable listens.

4) i'm too busy discovering awesome new artists that bring
me more aural pleasure, much more "easily" and more quickly
than Autechre anyway.

Fermium was instantly enjoyable for me and i'm glad i've
heard it; but i'm sorry, i'm not getting Untilted just for
that.

oh, and

5) no Autechre album has ever "grown with time" for me. i
just like them or not depending on my mood.

that last option seems really harsh. :|

anyway, i chose untilted.

Good explanations, I understood all.

i do it when i'm really in the mood - when i'm not
completely in the mood for it, it just bores me.


Agreed, me too.

trying to give it 384 listens before appreciating it
"entirely", like some people here do, is a ridiculous in my

opinion. i can give an album time, a lot of time, but not
dozens and dozens of unenjoyable listens


I usually don't do so, I listen their releases for about 3 /
4 times, if that doesn't work and I'm not able to enjoy an
album, it means I'll re-listen to it maybe after one year or
so.
But if I like it quite soon I usually need 3 listens
because to be honest I rarely like an autechre's release
with the first listen.

What does "between followings" refer to? The fans that
"follow" the music or what?

Fermium was good, but you should hear to Untilted with more
attention in my opinion, there are others tracks you might
enjoy as well, like "Lcc" and "Pro Radii"
