the last album to be released on Warp Records was catalogued WARP127. Confield is WARP128. and now, WARP180, Untitled is announced. THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE. |

they're touring through europe.. damn i have to see them. |
||||||||
|

i just hope they hit Toronto, Canada. it's so close to Buffalo! if they don't come, i'm trekkin' out down to NY. i MUST see them. |
||||||||

hmm.. yeah.. they all start with "WARP" and then have a 3 digit number attached. That's strange.. probably an omen. I've got it! Warp is the name of the label and the number is the number of the release! Damn, I can't believe I thought of that. It just suddenly clicked together in my mind. We should work together more often; consider this puzzle solved. |

no, before you get cocky, THINK Confield was given a catalogue number out of succession. it jumped up to 128. now 2 years later, the catalogue has legitimately reached 128, and THEN the new AE comes out. HELLO? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Oh.. I get it now. I was just implying I didn't understand in an intended humorous way. I'm not sure how they assign numbers. Maybe they were given that number after the others, but then only released it before them, ie. maybe it's just the way the label gives the numbers instead of autechre leaving behind a subtle puzzle. Or it is a subtle puzzle meaning autechre will wait until 181 to release their next album or something, or warp, for whatever reason exclusively screws up the sequence of autechre's numbers. |

i don't think it's a puzzle. back when Confield was released, i noticed that they jumped ahead to 128. my theory was that it's sorta of a commentary from Warp that the record was ahead of its time. the music itself is a proof for that theory. note also that they saved WARP70 for Boards Of Canada's "Twoism" to honour their label, music70. they play with their catalogue numbers, and i think that's cool. so noting that the new AE LP is coming out NOW, at this point in the catalogue (where WARP128 belongs), means 2 things: 1) they definitely know what they're doing with the numbers, its not just coincidence that they made Confield 128. and 2) following this theory would imply that the NEW album, catalogued WARP180, is EVEN FURTHER ahead of its time than Confield was/is. thus spoke magicant. |

maybe its a suggestion of what order the LPs should be listened to. "Draft 7.30" would make much more sense if it was BETWEEN "lp5" and "Confield". |

so yeah, maybe it is a puzzle. (sorry for saying this in 3 posts) |

Well, if they gave autechre 128 (on purpose to release autechre's next album when the sequential 128 arrives)... that means even if autechre wanted to release an album in the meantime, they'd just have to wait for other people to release albums until 128 finally arrived. Either that, or they planned it together, knowing they wouldn't release another album in the meantime. Or, if they did it would just be given a sequential number. |

well the simplest explanation is most often the correct one. in 2001, Ae probably suggested that they give them WARP128 cuz it would be like, from the future or something. so during 2004 sometime, they're working on a new record, they decide to play with that a little more. so they talk about it with Warp, and hey, Warp points out "hey guys, WARP128, the one we gave to you guys, is actually coming legitimately soon!" so Ae and Warp decided it would be cool if they waited for the time when Confield SHOULD'VE been released (after WARP127) and THEN release the new AE - but they couldn't stop there. they had to fuck it up even more, so they said "LOL lets just give it WARP180 LOL" then Ae said "WTF LOL OK" |

i recall a thread in which everybody guessed the title of the next album, and they all had 8's in them. maybe Ae saw that thread and laughed, and by honouring it, they made the catalogue number the next number up that has an 8 in it!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and they had to do better than just 138 or 148. 180!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would read '180 as a complete change of direction |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course!!! brilliant, just brilliant! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Complete change of direction! AMBER 2! Heheh I wish..it would be nice to hear some tracks like 'Foil', 'Nine' and 'Piezo' again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only in our wildest dreams |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Complete change in direction? AE threw away all their equipment and bought acoustic guitars! |
||||||||
|
|

i think that sometime during mid-April, skies will be grey all around the world and aliens will come down and terrorize the humans. <--that is the new Ae. no music involved. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe i will buy it after all, then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think that sometime mid-april, my hopes of some good Ae music will once again be crushed. |
