I know this an Aphex Twin board (holy be thy name) but what do you think of Autechre? I love the early stuff right up to the latest. What do you think? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
autechre is great. you should check out autechre.nu too if you don't know about it. |
||||||||

many peole here love autechre...i do... i may prefer them to aphex... but keep this secret, no one must know...lol. my favourite are chiastic slide, lp5 and since a few days confield, that has grown up in me and is one of my all time favourites... i have all the albums and most of the eps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i probably prefer autechre too. the old records as well as the new ones. can't wait for that dvd and the new album they have coming out!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are releasing a new album??? an ep?? when??? tell me all about it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it's a full album apparently. they talked about it on the warprecords.com question session. they said it was coming out in the next few months! about the dvd: i only heard about it from ppl on this board.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I llike em a lot too but dont prefer em over RDJ..listening to Pen Expers right now..lovely choon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a full album??????? incredible in less than a year i cant wait... you shouldnt have told me... now i wont sleep again in a few months...LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh! sorry :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
Autechre are paramount in my book |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does it mean that they are paramount in your book??? i suppose they are of your liking. back in 1998 i bought LP5 and i didnt like it... i turned it back.... now in 2002 i bought it again and after it all the rest... now i love autechre... they are incredible... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats exactly what i think nacmat. i bought confield a few days ago, first i couldnt get into it at all but now i semm to start loving it; I've been listening to LP5 three times today while i was learning; but i cant imagine in which direction they will develop, i dont think its possible to beat confield in "strangness" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you supposed right, Nacmat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
their good, really good but their not quite my style . i still like them, some of their songs are realy cool experemental/noise songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quite a mood thing i find .. but most definetly rate Autechre. albums of note imo - EP7 & Confield etc. heh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're amazing, one of my faves, but I think they're overrated. It's possible to be an incredible artist/band and still be overrated... they're not even close to RDJ, in my book. To boring and static. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RELATIVELY speaking, of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Aphex is nothing compared to some of the stuff out there. If anything HE'S the one that's overrated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find it hard to pick a better one out of Autechre and Aphex Twin... but Autechre are no doubt very good... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre is pretty good, but not among my favorites. I'd like to go pick up Incunabula sometime but no stores seem to have it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nacmat, are you the one who picked up all their releases in like a month? It's nice how that happens, you discover an artist and it turns out they've been around and have plenty of goods to discover. I found a few months before Confield was released and had most of their albums and eps at that point. Incunabula is low on my list of favorite Ae releases, but that doesn't mean much because it's incredible. I think my favorite is ep7 right now, but you know how that goes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
should be "I found Ae a few months..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ae would be my favorite act of all time... i prefer the later stuff a lot more and im very excited too see what they'll do next :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre is great too... the album Amber is just great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in fact that is what happened to me... 2 months ago i had nothing about them... now i have 15 releases with albums and eps |

******************************* *My final valuation apart AUTECHRE* ****************************** I like AUTECHRE but they're not the bests. I love the first two album AMBER (masterpiece) and INCUNABULA. Then their style changed, becoming more cold, more mathematical, more mechanical, more harsh and too much experimental. I find Tri Repeate a good album but nothing more, Garbage and Anvil Vapre are good ep but not masterpieces (apart that wonderful song called Vietrmx), Chiastic Slide doesn't like me, it's too complex and celebral for my taste, LP5 is a really innovative and amazing album, it's always very cold and mechanical, but it has interesting change of rhythm and I find it very original. I never heard "Confield" but tonight my girlfriend will present it to me. After a lot of meditations I can say who I like AUTECHRE, but I think Richard D. James is totally another thing, he's much better. In many songs Richard is more emotional than celebral, his music is more deep and various, imo. I'm sad because Autechre was able to create amazing melodies and awesome poems but now their musical's evolution (I repeat) is too much cold, mechanical, mathematical and celebral. I know who many of you disagree with me, but this is only my modest opinion. WooÆ’er |

for once we dont agree. and thats good too. i dont think they are cold, mathematical...but yes very experimental. its said that they do kind of machinelike music or music for robots... well dont think so... i always find melodies and warm textures in their music... its just in a language we have to learn how to use it... i think autechre are making a great trip towards future... but not cold and far away future... they are travelling into the way of expressing feelings in future... they wont ever sound as goon gumpas... you are right but there are many ways of melody and they have invented several... any way if you like amber that much still think that we have similar taste... i always enjoy reading your posts as they are full of information... you are very important for this message board woofer...(i think i have said this to reflex and ophecks... thats how i feel it) |

Thanx Nacmat for your nice words, I esteem you much too. About Autechre, I respect your point of view and I partially agree with your considerations. WooÆ’er |

Good Grief! Im going to like it here :) I went to see them in Manchester last year. It was a real challenge to dance to them. Its infinately better than "normal" 4/4. Music for mind and soul. Their Peel Sessions are pretty cool too. I love both Aphex and Ae in equal parts. In fact it would not suprise me if they swop albumn tracks just to mess our heads up! |

Im sure I posted before. I must have pressed the wrong button (yes, Im numb) Anyway, I said I went to see them in Manchester last year and really enjoyed trying to dance to their music. It was a real challenge. I love Aphex and Ae equally. Im sure they must swop tracks just to mess withour heads! |

I think Ae and afx are both amazing (obviously) but I don't see any point in trying to decide who is better. I usually prefer Ae to afx, but the music I want to listen to changes from day to day and from hour to hour. One minute I'll be in the mood for Aphex then the next I might want to hear something like Godspeed You Black Emporer. Thats the beauty of music; there is so much out there you can choose something to suit or enhance any mood or atmosphere. |

Oh dont get me wrong mate. :) I was just curious. I dont get to meet very many other people into "Leftfield Electronica" so I thought I'd ask if any one liked Ae. I like all types of music especialy stuff that makes me think "What planet are these people from?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mmmmmmmm...Confield.....I am with Teapot...I like thier later works much better...I am also VERY intrested in their next album....and the DVD!!! GIVE ME MORE Ae!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm afraid of their next album; if i listen to lentic catachresis three times or so i get frozen. maybe their next stuff kills me. anyway i seem to be addicted.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't hate me for this but i can NOT get into autechre.....perhaps i need to lock myself in a padded room for 24 hours. it's just noise....makes my brain feel like it's in tin can. eeeeep =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe try kalpol intro, Leterel or Arch Carrier if you have not yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm up for trying some different stuff....but stuff off confield make me pull out mass quantities of hair. thanks for the tip |
||||||||
|

Fair enough LeCoeur. Im just curious. Im not on a "This is only true music" tip. I went to go and see Maryln Manson last year because a mate of mine had a spare ticket. I went because it was diffrent. It was alot better than I thought it would be to be honest. As I say, I love music. The more I listen to the more I learn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
different music experiences makes the world go round...=0)...it just seems like most people who like aphex also really like autechre. i feel like i'm in the minority but i'm being honest in my assessment of what i've heard so far. i don't eggactly 'get it' cos i prefer more melodic music...it's just that i have to have some underlying melodic line to enjoy any type of music. i have yet to hear something from autechre that has that. i have been given some tips of what to listen to....and i look forward to checking it out and seeing if it's up my alley =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you really should it's worth! :-) at first i only listened to the melodic tracks (from incunabula and lp5 for example) and skipped the others, than i sometimes forgot skipping and so i discoverd the (mostly very deeply hidden) underlying melodies; it took some time but it grew on me (i hope one can say that, my english is not that good, i fear i'm talking about ae as about mushrooms) in any case you should give it a try. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, autechre is not noise lecouer, i promise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some stuff from Confield truly is AWFUL, but the good moments truly are shining. I swear, my cousin was messing around on FruityLoops, and made some worthless noisy shit that sounded exactly like some Autechre tracks. I'd like to see him make a Come to Daddy or a Girl/Boy Song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it possible you havent listened to autechre on an emotional level? i mean, i can imagine your cousin making something that sounded like ae on a superficial level, but seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm a sucka for new skool Ae, and their works continue to evolve. of course, the reminiscence of earlier works is not lost. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the bull about ''opening your mind, man, listen to the EMOTION in the random sounds'' is exactly that... bull. That is one PRETENTIOUS duo... I love them, regardless. I love alot of their tracks, they're amazing... although I also wish they'd cut their track lengths... Tewe, I just love that... until it continues on with nothing happening but the most MINUTE, BORING little dynamics... loses the steam it had when it started for me. |

autechre is like boards of canada... a stupid and uninteresting BOC. boc's great btw |
