What are Ae like live?

i heard them live. i say "heard" because there was nothing
to see but smoke and glowing laptops. The music was crappy
nothing recognizable. It went on for about an hour and i
think i only heard the music change 4 times. just thump
thump thump and static. pretty awful!

Some if sounds very repetitive from what I've downloaded. I
mean, that's ok for when you're sitting at hope surfing the
net, but I dunno how I'd enjoy it if I was standing up in a
room with loads of other people for two hours or whatever.

Hmm, people sometimes dance when they go out...to which
repetative music lends itself quite nicely.

AE live was terrible f***ing experience. Not only did we
only get a stream of what might as well been white noise for
over an hour (I'm not joking when I say there wasn't a shred
of music of rhythm in it), but after the show was over I was
hanging out at the venue bar (grabbing one for the road) -
when all of the sudden I get elbowed hard in the back... I
turn around to find that it's Sean throwing some kind of
"get the fuck away from me" hissy fit with another one of
the concert goers.

Yeah man - Real nice way act to the lot of people who've
filled their pockets buying one obscure release of theirs
after another.

The whole thing really turned me off to them as people. I
now need to not think of "them" when I listen to Autechre /
Gescom / Insert cleverly disguised pseudo name here.

PS - Old Autechre live was awesome - I do need to say that.
But some time after EP7 / Confield, they decided to no
longer play "songs". They're pretty much improv..... and It
shows.

So to repost - Old AE good - New AE = spoiled, lazy, boring
brats.

(But I'm not bitter or anything) - This is hard for me to
say as they had been for a very long time my absolute
favorite electronic act, but I must be honest.

Thanks for sharing, gl1tch.

I never imagined them to be that bad, even though they've
come across as twats sometimes in interviews. Maybe Sean was
high or something; could explain the white noise that they
were spewing out! After all, when you're high, anything
sounds good.

the possibility that Sean had a bad day/show doesn't really
mean they're "bad"

glitch: my old mate - who introduced me to ae music and was
their big fun - says the same: lazy , spoiled

you may think those beats are improv, they aren't. they are
programmed meticulously. you hear it when you actually try
to.

heh... autechre live rocks. The best part are the people
that don't get it trying to a) dance to it like normal
music, and getting all messed up in their step and
appologizing b) the people who ask you "this is the future
of techno???".

Heh... when they are playing, they actually bop their heads
up, instead of down, like normal people. I love ae.

i only heard a few bootlegs but if you listen to the last 3
trx of vancouver 99 (or 98), its bloody awesome. ae seems to
work like chessplayers, they starts with wild but simples
beats, you have no idea of what will come next & slowly they
add incredibly complex beats, sounds & bleeps to their core
trx & after 5 minutes, you get it into the sounds surrounded
by billions of differents sounds, its like a machine that
gets more & more intense, complex & could never end.

from what i've heard, they're wiked live...most musicians
that improvises, i think, they prepares a lot before, like
those old japanese painters...

Their beats are not actually meticulously programmed all the
time. For example, in Surripere, the beats in the second
half are mostly just the same beat being pissed about with,
live, with various beat-fucking plugins.

Like a cooler version of taking a beat and usuing buffer
override with it for half an hour and producing a beat which
sounds like it took a lot of work but did not.

I am drunk so I may be talking poo poo.

Fucking hell. gotta step in here. What is it with people
that act personally insulted because AE haven't made tri
repeatae two? There's loads of people that make stuff like
that now..if you want that go listen to it, it's there.

Gl1tch.... Their stuff live has utterly shitloads of
content, it is anything but noise...something you've clearly
never heard. As for your comments about Sean getting annoyed
with a concert goer, what the fuck? Do you think because you
bought an Ae CD once that means sean and rob OWE you? I'm
sure there was valid reason for what was going on behind
you, why should he fuck about? if someone was cunting him
about he's perfectly in his rights to tell him to fuck off.
anyone is!

"Old AE good - New AE = spoiled, lazy, boring
brats."

Now lazy is a laughable comment....BTW, critic the ideas not
the person. You're comments are ignorant.

If you want to know what ae have sounded like in the past
live get Live at Manchester or Live in Chicago and LISTEN to
it rather than go on the opinions of others. At any rate
fuck knows what they are going to be like live this time
round. In case you haven't noticed they like to mix shit
up... something that seems to endless get up the noses of
some people but you'd think you'd notice that it's pretty
much central to all of this music.

wow lupus yonderboy. You got way bent off of an opinion
thread. Man. If you only knew how much money I've spent on
AE / AE Remixes / Gescom and misc. other Sean and Rob
projects (There's almost nothing I don't owe - I believe in
buying music), you'd back the fuck up.

I love their stuff, but that's not what this thread is
about. It's about AE "Live". So fucking chill man.

I was there for the Detroit show and it was NOT one of their
best. Their Set was the same as the one in London of that
year. It wasn't them though, the sound system was shitty. My
friend get pretty freaked out when most everyone started
bowing their heads and doing their best to bob to the fucked
up beats. It was great seeing them in person though and hope
they come back sometime. Fucking great audience reception
too.

ref to john cleese's character in faulty towers.

Yes the Detroit show had far too much bass but i think
remebering reading that they didn't get a sound check....
they sounded good when i seen them at ATP.

To enjoy AE live, you probably have to get stoned, stoned
with other peolple and than AE becomes an intellectual group
experince....

Wouldn't that make it less enjoyable? I mean, it's not
really danceable stuff...more music you have to concerntrate
on.

I've never seen them live, but I can dance to Venetian
Snares and the like, so I wonder how danceable Ae are live.
Do they ever do mad beat driven stuff or is it normally more
ambient/noisy/subtle? The stuff I downloaded seemed to be
fairly straightforward 4/4 stuff (well, for Ae at least)
although I only have 2 files.
