Please state: Yes or No and explain why. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. all tracks have infinite visual possibility, because they are mostly atmospheric. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No how can be boring the best music ever made to date. with each release, they are steping further into the limits of music they are always bringing new meanings to music, harmony and melody... how can they be boring they are the best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I don't think so. But they can be... some tracks need to be pared down a bit, Recury being one of them... track doesn't change much. I LOVE the first 5 minutes, then I get pretty bored, admittedly... Clipper changes and has lots of stuff going on, so it's allowed to be long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no again. reason 2 being that mind visualization is essential to any autechre track, or else i think you'll wonder why the hell you're even listening to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no Autechre = the opposite of boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. it's very challenging music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But are there songs that are just too repetitive to the point that requires a 'skip trap'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not in my opinion. from what ive experienced with ae, a lot of songs sound repetitive on first listen. after giving them a more listens, you start to hear subtle changes everywhere. they are gods. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whether or not you like the song is your own thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes!!! i agree 150% with that- there are sometimes dozens of little nuances and breaks in songs that you would've never thought had those. sometimes there are flashbacks, too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell no they're not boring. you've heard the phrase, 'God is in the details', well Autechre have details and to spare, it's like an ever-changing sequence their songs, that brings more and more new sonic 'things' to light. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say overall, of COURSE they're not boring, as long as you're ready to sit down and really listen... But even then, they've got some duds, and some songs that just LACK some really interesting ''nuances'' that their best tracks have. But they're few and far between, they hit the mark more often than not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. i don't know.. i used to love autechre. but they don't do anything for me anymore. i think they're dull. but under boac is still my favorite song ever. (i do say that about a lot of songs tho) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isnt it "the devil is in the details?" no they are not boring and good news everyone! i have conquered Confield! I LOVE IT. you have to be in the mood... but besides that, i love it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lentic catachresis: FATALITY! heh :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lol yah it is "the devil is in the details". . . but let my ask something: what's so great about all these subtle things about the songs? Sometimes I just want to listen to and fully enjoy something on the first listen, not have to listen to a song and over again until I can fully enjoy it. And also, isn't the overall song the real point? Some of the best tracks I've ever made (with Fruity Loops) only took me a couple hours to make. I didn't spend hours tweaking all the effects and making everything peachy-clean. I just ripped up a new track as quickly as possible, and it happened to be some of my best material yet. . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oi, again with the "i make brilliant stuff in one hour" junk subtle things in a song adds character if you are making a song just to dick around to... sure, leave out the detail it can still be good in a way but if you want to make a song thats dynamic and powerful.... details...even small ones.... yea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol. . . and yes, several songs of mine I HAVE scrapped up in a couple hours, and they are not piles of shit. They are thoroughly enjoyable listens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id like to hear them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find them quite entertaining most of the time but some of there stuff is kind of long and repetitive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me, i liked a lot of ae tracks on first or second listen. after a couple more, it seems to reach a certain level of 'goodness'. but after repeated listens, when you begin to be able to distinguish all those subtle sounds and details, the track sounds a bit new, fresher and a hell of a lot stronger. imo, tracks with no details often become dull and lifeless in no time. after, let's say, 7 or 8 listens, you're bored with it. but dont get me wrong, im not saying i dont like simple tracks at all, it's the less-detailed ones. |

Ok I just added you to my MSN messenger list. . . so I'll send you one of those songs, because I don't post any of my songs anywhere on the internet (if only because I'm too lazy). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont have msn.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm well even if that is the way it is I still won't mind. Alot of music that I love now more than anything else, I didn't like or didn't understand when I first heard it. (Like Aphex Twin himself, I didn't see what was so great about him at first, and same with John Digweed, and the progressive house genre in general). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must admit, some of it bores me... the first track from Garbage is an example... but most of it is quite good!!! Some of their songs are really long... I think it's fine to have songs over 8 minutes say, but most of an album? That's a bit long I think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How could you NOT have MSN, d00d? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre is an amazing pair, though it's not my favorite electronic artist i can still say they are the complete OPPosite of boring. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At this exact moment, yes. I don't care for their releases after Tri-Repetae++. I've listened to them all many times, but just don't care for them. Now, if I just count the first 3 albums, I don't find them boring at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay maybe this will help me: Name the tracks that YOU think autechre did the best job on (their best songs), please only list songs from the following albums (as these are the only ones I have) : Incunabula Tri Repetae ++ Confield |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eutow,basscadet,bine,eidetic casein,pen expers,lentic catechresis,sim gishel and c/pach or patch there is not even one really boring track on these albums i can think of now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe bike or doctrine i do not count to there best tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
laughing quarter and cap.iv are my absolute favourites this month. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i think that incunabula and tri repetae are there weakest albums. Confield is more like art work than music. so you really need to get LP5, EP7 and Chiastic Slide |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*sigh* I'm not spending any more money on Autechre... *shows empty pockets to everyone* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i disagree, confield is music in its most pure form |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. well addmitedly all the tracks on Confield are repetive, but boring....not to me.. of course it took me about 6 months to get into that album. then i proclaimed it the greatest album in the history of the world. now i think its a damn good one of kind masterpiece. so not boring. aphex is not boring. shit like orbital is boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm probably the complete opposite...I'm not a huge fan of the early stuff but later on, when they get more experimental with form & sounds, I can't get enough... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes! Whoo yeah autechre are soo very boring...they just go on and on with no atmosphere......oh geez they send me to sleep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i AGree with jand... although i;ve recently gotten into amber very much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre has always been background music for me so i dont pay that much attention.... but i do think they are talented. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I cant believe some of us think they make boring music. NO, THEY ARE NOT BORING try to understand from the whole to the detail, try to expand your knowledge |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO no no no no. They are the polar oposite of boring for me. When I put stuff like Confeild on it never fails to completely involve me in itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes i find it boring... sometimes i find it really great :) it depends on my mood... (it's a bit the same with BoC, but i prefer Ae than BoC) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's just a matter of opinion, isn't it? i don't listen to incunabula, amber, or tri repetae that much anymore, but they're not boring, imo. it's just that on the other albums there's more going on and somehow the songs work better. ofcourse, the older works tend to have more monotonous beats etc. so if you consider that boring, you have a point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can have a point too if you consider the newer stuff boring... you can pretend it's just silly steam-hammer-like noise, maybe most "normal" people would agree... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd have to say yes, everything of their's I've heard has ben too repetative. Even vltrmx21 (their best track IMO) is too long/repetative. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kinda wish Vietrmx21 would never end..... |
