A)which is the thing you like most of ae?
B)and the less one (if there's some)?

for me...
A)Of ae I love the fact that their music is celebral and
stop,they're the perfect example of braindance
B)ae music could be compared to sculpture....but I still
prefer painting (!?) I'm joking ae are perfect as they are

Ahhhh...good topic....

A) Ae have always made me want to think more about the music
and sounds they make. Their tracks seem to open my brain up
and twist stuff around inside until I am SO curious and
blown away. AE seem to always keep thier fresh new sound
while at the same time coming up with even newer more
haunting soundscapes for us to get lost in.

b) I guess if I HAD to think of one thing I dont like about
AE, boy this is hard.....
My ONLY complaint would be that well...They dont tour often
enough, atleast here in SoCalifornia...

I have only got to see em once.

=)

a) ability to scare neighbors / unwanted party guests
b) can be a bit repetitious to my ears sometimes

p.s. I'm listening to Second Bad Vilbel right now! I think
this is my fav Ae track.

They never stop pushing forward the limits set by them and
the rest of the IDM bunch. They're not closed to new
influences (they fell in love with french concrete composer
Bernard Parmegiani in '97.), they are never scared of
challenging their audiences. They're unpretentious on top of
everything. I love them!!

a) one of the few bands that actually are more than the sum
of their influences...
b) They need to get experimental with release formats
again...the Minidisc thing was a good start but I'd
personally like to own a bit of Ae Software or something
like that....

(I had difficulty coming up with a b)..

kool-----yeah warp said the best way to listen to this cd
was to put it on random play........can a minidisk be burned
to a cdr? will it be relasaed as a regular cd?


 

offline Meho Krljic from Beograd (Yugoslavia) on 2002-03-13 15:33 [#00124421]
Points: 6617 Status: Addict



I got it in mp3 and burned it onto cdr. I don't think it
will be coming out on cd. Check out audio galaxy for it if
you can.

Yeah, the whole idea of the Minidisc thing was that you'd
play it on Random with zero gaps and it would create you a
new AE record with every listen...

Kinda Generative Music type thing...

Works fine as MP3s with Winamp using one of those Gapless
Output plugins...not sure if you'd be able to achieve the
same with a CD tho...you could burn it with zero gaps but
whether it would play perfectly on Random play, I don't
know...

like take CONFIELD for example...

It reminds me or makes me think of what a child discovering
his hearing sense is kinda like. The album is full of wierd
sounds and distorted off timed beats, which are a mystery
when first heard, but so mysterious and beautiful at the
same time...you want MORE. And as you progress with the
album, your sense of hearing changes and develops, tuning
into the "little things and background noises" more than
ever. Each track seems to hynotize me and keep me guessing.
Thats the magic of Ae.

a) the complexity of their music. i also like the
"seriousness" in their music, which is an element i think
aphex is lacking sometimes. i like aphex's music a lot, but
i'm pathologically addicted to autechre!

b) too many limited releases (especially under their gescom
alias). also, i'm disapointed with many answers they gave
to the fan questions on warprecords.com. apart from that,
they are musical gods!

ahhh very good point CORTEX...I was also kinda dissapointed
with the answers they gave to MOST of the questions.

But I guess I'll let it slide...heh heh

Ae still rules the world!!!!

B) They seemed to pick pretty generic questions to answer.
I expected something different from Ae. Plus they never
answered the question I emailed them: why am I so lazy?

A) Their rythms, melodies and sounds are just from another
planet. That makes me happy : )

The extremely well thought out intellectual concepts,
creating sound that evolves, creating what interests them
and completely ignoring reactions of others, making it have
"feeling" in spite of being largely mind music, it's just
beautiful. They're interested in making stuff that can't be
described with words, and I can't really.
