is it just me, or what, but I have never been too impressed with DJ Shadow. In my mind he is nothing compared to the likes of RDJ or Tom J. Most stuff I've heard bores me. What tracks by him would change my mind? Maybe I havent heard the right stuff. |

"lonely soul" (unkle), "dark days main theme", "high noon", "midnight in a perfect world", "fixed income", "stem/long stem", "building steam with a grain of salt", "rabbit in your headlights" (unkle) |

this is a kinda silly arguement |

dj shadow is mad boring. i really like endtroducing, but i have yet to hear anything since that doesn't make me lose patience. i prefer shoelaces over mcdonalds. |

Very Hard to compare. I guess I like Shadow a bit more, but that's only because I only like AE's 1st 3 albums. Very tough choice, they both rule. |

I just can't seem to get into DJ Shadow, and I've tried... it's just not my thing. Autechre crushes him into a fine paste. Some people say topics like this are dumb, ''you can't compare them, two different styles, etc''... I LIKE topics like this. Everything was put on this earth for comparison! Chocolate bars are better than Venetian Snares, for example. Porn is better than Mario Lemieux. |

musically what's the commonality? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
there is no commonality. there is no "vs" I think Ae is better in many ways over dj Shadow... but again, is just my opinnion long live dear Ae |

it really was a strange comparison but it was fun reading through it |

I reckon he's pretty good, but far overrated in my opinion. I just don't see what's so amazing about the track "Midnight in a perfect world" which everyone seems to think is one of the best tracks of all time... it's good you know, very moody and smokey, but it's not like it's breaking any new ground musically... trip hop had been around for years before this. I personally think RJD2 does DJ Shadow type stuff far better. |

i love them both... but i get bored of shadows music before i get bored of autechres. this could simply be becasuse theres more of autechres music to keep me going, or it could be because autechres music has more depth who knows. also, from some of the 'anti-autechre' comments (for want of a better word, stuff like i could never get into autechre, im listening now and keeep having to skip tracks cos they get boring. to my mind autechre isnt great music for sitting there, listening, and waiting for it to grab u by the balls. at least not at first. much better to stick it on as background noise in my opinion. after a few plays u begin to 'get' the music, and soon it becomes comprehensible even to just listen to whilst doing nothing else. certainly i find this is the case with the later, more twisted stuff. The earlier stuff was instant pleasure for me. |

the later stuff is instant pleasure for me. the older stuff bores me quicker. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

of who? |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

awetekkur. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since when do you consider their later stuff? I mean... what releases are included in that later stuff? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I really dislike Incunabula. it does almost nothing for me. so that and basscadet really.. :) amber has great stuff on it - foil and glitch are classic tracks, incredible even. but as whole albums (as in: I listen to it as a whole album and like it), I think ae is best from chiastic slide and onwards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and DJ Shadow does completely nothing for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also prefer autechre since chiastic (in albums) but garbage, peel session and anvil vapre are great!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meh. I also like the ep's more since Da Slide. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me in albums its like you: chiastic lp5 confield draft I listen to these much more than what I do with incunabula, amber or tri repetae even though I love them too but with eps I think I listen a lot more to peel 1, garbage and anvil vapre, than waht I listen to gantz graf, peel 2 or cichlisuite of course I didnt mention envane cos i listen to it a lot (exception) |
||||||||

|
|
i doubt anything can come close to Draft 7.30 especially an artist who names start with the letters D and J |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is draft your favourite album by autechre? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nacmat you should resurrect that "rank your favorite idm artists" or whatever poll. that was cool. |
||||||||
|

rice over beans any day cake over rice tho.. |

Music is good, sometimes. |

you mean the championship witht the voting and all that? that is in march when woofer and I do it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but would RJD2 have a career without dj shadow? no. his music is completely indebted to dj shadow. instrumental sample-based hip-hop would be nothing without dj shadow (not the 1st of his kind but the best by far). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for one, why are you comparing these two albums? i suppose you could assert that autechre is the future of hip hop and that dj shadow recycles its past to make its future, but that would be really pretentious just for a messageboard comparison... autechre sucks nuts, dj shadow rocks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well autechre's music is like the abstract pieces of classical music where the music is a SUPREME musical existance dj shadow is like vivaldi's four season classical yet....POPish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
confield is a masterpiece it makes me shiver with every glitch and static sound draft is just pure electronic love, so warm and...cold at the same time masterpieces for all times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and now, eternity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt mean i prefer the older stuff, i meant the older stuff is more instantly accessable (in much the same way as dj shadow is instantly accessible) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they CAN be compared because they both do MUSIC tho it's pointless beyond the "i like him/them more because..." due to subjectivity of the subject as for confield i think it's splendid, pure aural bliss... but have you ever wondered that many OLD records sound like it in one way or another so you can't really say they're better because they do things YOU never heard... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ae would win easily. they outnumber dj two to one. rob could get shadow in a headlock while sean administers a severe nipple cripple. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to answer nacmat's question, yes Draft 7.30 is my fav. autechre album, as of now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually autechre is not far away from hip hop |
||||||||
|
|

Jesus, I cant believe I made this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too :) |

|

| |||||||||

That thread is pretty funny. These two artists are very different. The topic you arouse sounds like something people could ask when they only know 2 artists. =D Two great artists btw. |
||||||||

nothing changes |

haha more like planetary gravity versus taking a shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Shadow shits me with his "yeah give it up ya'll listen to my 10 minute intro ya'll. Do you love me?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dj shadow once said that he doesn't dig most of the Warp stuff because it doesn't have soul. i can agree with that to an extent. personally i could see myself having a lot more fun at a Shadow show than an Autechre show for a few reasons. Shadow's show would be more dancing and interacting, where Autechre's would probably be the typical dudes with their arms crossed trying to figure out what they are doing to make that sound. boooooring to me. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
dj shadow has always been extremely overrated in my opinion... |
