it's a good job Vietrmx21 does end, or they would have had
to invent a new neverending CD media to release it on, now
that would have been a bugger...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But hey! They are not exactly fun either. They move me,
surprise me and impress me with their work. If I want some
fun I'd rather put on Bonzo dog doo dah band or somthng....

not boring!

moody, challenging, haunting, squelchy, glitchy, cheeky,
lingering, journeyed, moveing, emotional, subtle.
my fave - Amber's "piezo"...the last 2 minutes makes me cry

Orbital boring, lmao. Ah, it's funny to see someone say
that about a group who implements so many genres of
electronica into their music.

Hahaha, I needed a good laugh.

yes autechre is boring...

yourself that what they do is worth listening.

Autechre boring? No way. I mean I believe Ae are the
(THEE) most advanced electronica artists there are (they
stand side by side of course to AFX, []<, BoC). They always
surprise me and Im always hearing new sounds...it's truely
incredible. I just read a post that had a link to their
Interview. THAT WAS SO COOL! So I heard some new stuff
today.

Ae.

autechre r one of the least boring artists IMO. they

they suck... BOC is much more respectable.

i see autechre as how retarded BOC would sound.

Well, they don't suck that's for sure, but I do agree that
their new stuff is boring. I'm a melody man myself.

no.

i do not become bored when listening to autechre, therefore
they are not boring (relative to my frame of reference).

alot of people say classical music is boring

its very advanced...

you just have to be able to appricate the fine things

not trying to sound elitist...

but yes, i guess it is elitist

who cares

Points: 3167 Status: Lurker



There's a fine line between appreciating it and enjoying it.
I can appreciate the fact that æ is out to find new
sounds with their music, but do I enjoy it? Not really.

But hey different strokes for different folks.

And Zeus is right, it doesn't matter what others think, it's
just about how you feel.

comparing classical music to autechre is like comparing the
beatles to oasis

errrrrrrr......no

its not that different

think about it

classical is complex

autechre is complex

you have to develop a taste for both

I love Autechre, although it's not universal to any mood for
me... meaning, I can't usually listen to it any time, but
when I'm in a mood for it... I really respect what they do,
and each album of theirs I own is fantastic... but sometimes
they do bore me...

Wow I really sparked up some good stuff here.

I guess it all depend if you're in the mood. I cant listen
to them in the car or anything like that. I'd have to be
lying down in a room of complete darkness with my headphones
on. And weed in my bloodstream.

Like any other music conversation here it's all purely
subjective so don't attack each others taste, total waste of
time...

Personally I don't rate BOC...but I know a lot of people do
so I'm not gonna dis em...if we all liked the same stuff,
how boring would that be??...

as someone said, "each to their own"..

:)

it? A lot of elitists are extremly boring people btw. Just
take the mensa club!

autechre is doing i see what they do... and then I say..

2 music that just follows the path of what is known to work:
booooooring

autechre: 1

If you look up 'not boring', you'll see a picture of Booth

Orbital are NOT boring. . . it's just all their production
work is consistently similar in certain ways. They are
capable of many diverse things, and they may not be the gods
that Autechre are, but I maintain that Orbital are one of
the best electronica artists/groups/bands EVER!!!!

Don't agree? Listen to one of the best electronic albums
ever made, and certainly the best by Orbital, "In Sides",
and you will agree. Their music is increddible.

I was positive electronica didn't get any better than
Orbital. . . until I discovered Aphex Twin. But still,
Orbital is a great duo.

The thing with Autechre is that they aren't boring enough.
There's so much to listen to that lots of people tune out
the aforementioned "fine" details! It's like when I
painting is too "busy" as they say. There's so much action,
and lots of "busy" paintings (i.e. "Starry Night") are
well-respected. I guess Autechre are the musical
equivalents of Salvador Dali and Van Gogh!

funkmaster: about zeus i was refering to the post AFTER the

but saying stuff like what he said in that post makes me
click.

and asche XL maybe you hate opinion topics cus you have no
ground to sustain your opinions. meaning that your opinions
are not really your own.

Easy music = sweet.
Autechre = sour.
Sweet tastes good but soon becomes boring.
Sour stuff starts tasting very good after a while of
repeated use.

(´Course not all Ae is that hard, but that´s what I
think)
