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. Sarah Dempster hahahahaha! funny, but of course grossly unfair. it's bad enough that the NME even bother to review autechre releases (check out their review for the splitrmx 12") but they had to top it all off and give it to a female reviewer? i know some girls/women that like ae but let's be honest here, the ladies like the pretty melodies (generally speaking). |

hehe, kind of amusing really. and i totally understand that this kind of music isnt for everyone, and far from it. oh well, who cares what magazines write? i get the feeling it'll do the same as for the rollingstone's review of drukqs... |

Who the fuck really gives a shit about what she thinks anyhow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats pathetic, NME should be ashamed of doing reviews like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what makes me laugh is that, when a popular magazine really rates an idm release, many people are a little pissed, because they say that the reviewer only wants to look cool or whatever. and when they bash an idm release, the reviewer doesnt know what theyre talking about... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Its her opinion and she is entitled to it, but I bet she smells and masterbates whenever she sees a puppy, festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank is... whats wrong with germans! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Never heard that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my solution is, dont pay attention to popular magazines for a review of idm albums. i base myself on actual fans like on this mb, or good idm sites, ie absorb. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give Sarah Dempster some respect:) this anti-sexual and probably too fat lady has written a review about something she could not even pronounce in the music shop. NME+ae??? damn it sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Or how about, form your own opinions? And that's not directed towards you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I already listened to gantz graf.... I happen to think its good, but not as great as some of there other releases.... Clic who you talking to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, even better, but i was talking about getting something youve never heard... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No one in particular. Just saying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with you on that too. I think it's good, but I don't know. Maybe it will be like Confield and have an accquired taste to it or something. |

Oooh, an ex friend knows her. He's an idiot. She's an idiot. Whoohoo! Here's some insider info - she once got sacked from a newspaper for reviewing a gig that she didn't go to. They found out because the gig was cancelled. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

That was a decent interview, nah it was actually pretty good ;) I mean im a bald head man and I got some pretty damn expensive anoraks. I would definitly masturbate to a car alarm if it was re-mixed by Arovane (hes german) ;) LOL |
||||||||
|
|

and I love AE. |
||||||||
|
|

|

and the whole Gantz Graf release is just a impenetrable curtain of misanthropic noise. I rather listen to PROEMS latest release. Proems new EP No Carrier is just AMAZING!!! its noise but beautiful layers of melody on top of it, glÃtch hop at its best (this is what AE should release). If u like AE get No Carrier. |

I think it was a quite funny review. And she made her point :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she made her point? her point is a complete cliché. its boring. to make a point you have to say something you really mean i.e. thought of yourself. I like no_carrier. gantz graf is better though. |

I like to wrap my chips in the NME.};> |

|
|
What's all this crap about Germans? What did they do wrong this time? I don't care what she thinks of the record, the racist views on Germans make this is the worst review I've ever read :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not racist, but its fucknig prejudiced |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A reference to Kraftwerk,perhaps? Anyway,stupid review,stupid woman,stupid paper.};> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'avoid as if you would a bald german' is fuckin racist, btw i dunno what this has to do with ae. ae-didn't-suck-my-dick-shit-they'd-better-released-this-and and i'm annoyed by that -that-blah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
coming from the shite wipe rag NME I think it should be considered a huge compliment for both the fans and the band |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What a well written and accurate review. It is a shame that more music journalism is not as insightful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha... the people who review for nme all seem to have personal problems which they vent through scathing reviews of albums they probably only skimmed through, listening to a few minutes of each track...by artists they've never heard of she was probably just dumped by a german guy with an affinity for expensive anoraks and bleepy electronic music.. has anyone read their review of squarepusher's selection16? its a classic too... that guy's hatred seems more directed to students (especially film and art students) i suspect that review stems from him not being able to go to college for whatever reason... funny...these reviews dont seem to say much about the actual music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pitchforkmedia.com is good imo. has alot of reviews/interveiws etc of all kinds i also use allmusic, but its more for the track info then the reviews... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she's absolutely right...gantz graf IS a complete garbage,and its a great review.. btw NME is a very professional magazine,and their journalists are much more music-educated and have a wider point of perspective then you guys,cuz you listen only to idm music.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've noticed that too... Personally I'm not a huge AE fan, but I think Gantz Graf is weak, even by their standards. I think the rascist comments were a bit off though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a funny review, I didnt like the German diss tho. Dunno about NME too, they had some shitty reviews thru these years. and GG is AEs worst release so far imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like GG But NME is complete toss. They talk fucking shite and constantly jump on bandwagons, then desert the bands they've championed when they go out of fashion. Absolute wank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed, the NME is really far too fashion orientated to seriously when it comes to music... I'm one of the minority that actually likes GG...one of the few releases of late that can take repeated listens without becoming boring... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'cuz you listen only to idm music'. And where did you get this information? I for one,like loads of different stuff(even pop!),and you are quite welcome to come to my house and see for yourself! I'm 32 for godsakes,not 9! regardless if GG is good or not,the NME sucks rotten cock!};> |

Apologies to 9 year olds! };> |

i don't like gantz graf the song, dial and cap.iv i love. but she has a point; it's hard to call gantz graf (the song) music anymore. it only makes sense if you see the dvd (which i got in the mail today!). calling that pretentious is dumbass. it's the first video i've seen where the song actually becomes visible. it looks like something from an iain m. banks novel. with its superb graphics, it completely shatters away the other 2 videos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck NME. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and to think, with me being a journalist, this is the sort of thing that i get lumbered with, yes NME is a big bag of wank at the best of times. it has hardly any electronic artists in it anymore now and just has shit in it. they might as well change the name from NME to we sucked the strokes cocks you know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She has a pont regarding the fans. There is a certain level of pretentiousness with AE obsessives. If I see one more topic entitled 'Rate these AE/BOC/SQ tracks' or 'What is your favourite track off Amber while taking a dump on a Wednesday?' I'll scream. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a pity people have to see the video to actually understand the track... this is how i always see them inside my mind. on the other side, it's damn cool you can actually visualize tracks like this. quite stunning! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GG for me too..I cant believe the amount of slagging it's getting..i Think it was the same with Confield..continualy defying expectations is what makes Ae great.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GG, confield leftovers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I must see the video!! But I will probably be dissapointed because of all the hype "fucking great video this, amazing graphics that"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck this shit, guys. GG rocks, what's everyone's problem? It's noisy but structured and funny. I, for one was very happy with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I think you're right, flea...AE seem to go thru this initial reaction to most of their stuff...give it a year and these sort of sounds & textures & rhythms won't sound so alien... Arch, mate...I reckon you've already this video in your head...it's exactly as you'd expect an Ae vid to look...so no, I don't think you'll be dissapointed... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was impressed with GG. if you dont like it yourself, give it some time, it'll grow on you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck, dudes, you all want your IDM to be abstract so you can have your personal inner movies along it, but when it gets more radically abstract, you just start bitching. let's see a little more trust and effort from your side. |
