that is pretty much confirmed..so relax...they are called it
return to melodic accessible Autechre..

about it and also try the

Maybe they feel that they've pushed the outside schtick as
far as it can go for now and wanna do something else before
it becomes formulaic.

Or maybe they started this rumor to fuck with our minds and
there'll be fake easy listening bootleg mp3s circulating but
then they'll release like Confield x 10 and our heads will
explode wheeeee!

Points: 1112 Status: Addict



you are all wrong.

1. Gantz Graf is musicless (but 3rd track)
2. Incunabula and Amber are great, no less than wonderful
Confield, and if Ae want to make something like that again,
we can only hold our breath... They've been rotting down
their music for a while. Gantz Graf is like a step backward
to all those dying AFX and everyone. (Yes AFX is dying
slowly, see DrukQs for more). They sacrifice music to the
beasts of harsh chaos electro thingies floating around. Take
Peel Sessions 2. There are only two good tracks, and they're
super good, that's because they HAVE music inside. And the
other two are only good in the state of 2-sec loops, to
which you listen and think 'yeah, that'd make a fucking nice
hardcore song, but where are those melodies we love Ae for'.
GG is primitive. As is a smaller part of Confield. I mean,
they just HAD to put some beautiful melodic stuff there, but
they didn't. And the rest of elements just aren't
self-sufficient...

look every albumn or ep has always been a completly new
direction for autechre. whats make anyone think they would
go in the Gantz Graf direction.. don't worry that was a
one-off. just a fun ep they put out.

"1. Gantz Graf is musicless (but 3rd track) "

umm no, confield and gantz graf are both excellent and I
think confield is the best release so far and drukqs is my
favorite aphex release so either you dont like stuff thats
harder to listen to or you just dont like the direction idm
is going in.

oh geez

they havent even released a track listing and everyone's
already disappointed

im sure that for the first month or so after it comes out,
everyone will hate it.. but within a year it will be
regarded as a sacred religious document by the same people
who hated it..

i dont know where the rumor of it being more melodic and
accessable came from
but it sounds pretty interesting to me..
im sure they'll keep running with elements from confield and
gantz graf.. but with a bit more melody and a little less
obtuseness..that sounds perfect
its not like theyre going to release another incunabula or
something

come on guys..at least wait till the album comes out before
you start bitching about it

why is it you people think if its not confield or
merzbowmasturbatorialnoisebleeding (my pet name for gantz
graf), that means it must sound prehistoric and amateurish?
the album isnt even close to out yet, and you guys are busy
shooting it down already... just look at me... i HATED gantz
graf, but i'm not sitting here being closed-minded to it,
because i know soon they'll do something i DO like. you
don't have to like everything these people put out, you
know. one bad album or ep doesn't mean they've lost it, and
neither does doing something simply as a change of pace. i
must say when i got into this type of music, i thought "now
HERE'S a style where people seem to care about what's
important, not a fashion". well, i must say that i was wrong
to think that... because this messageboard is about as
snobby and image-oriented as a limp bizkit message board.
the only difference here is taste. they like A, you like B,
but you're STILL acting like children. i'm sure sean and rob
have much better stuff to do than LIVE on a message BORED.
go write your own music. i do. it's fun. maybe it'll give
you a better perspective on what being an artist is like,
and how hard it is, and how that mentality works. sorry to
bitch, i'm usually a pretty peaceful guy (being a christian
and all) but i come here to see if there is any intelligent
discussion and everyday i'm disappointed. i hope this
website gets on its feet soon... cuz the waiting room is
starting to suck.

AMEN, BROTHER.
Jesus is right, you pathetic motos.

Fuck this scheisse!
"Not music" means not carrying a melodic component, and not
having anything else that could compensate and interest. How
many times do I have etc

PS DrukQs ang Gans Grath are getting too far into stupid
chaos, that's why I like it not. It's not interesting
(unlike Confield, which is chaotic but talented). I'd rather
enjoy another Polygon Window release, than listening to this
fashion-preaching crap. If you make
trash-bleep-hardcore-something, people expect a bit more
than just playing the same old stupid FX over and over. Be
original or be musical.

DOES ANYONE LIKE TRACK 1 OF GG?
TELL ME WHY!

you're not fooling anyone. music is not defined as
containing melody. haven't you ever heard music with only
perucssion? you're making a fool of yourself. stop now for
your own sake.

i love track 1 of gantz graf. it's one of my favorite ae
tracks. i couldn't tell you exactly why i love any piece of
music other than that it induces pleasure or other positive
feelings. gantz graf has something to do with traveling
between worlds maybe? it feels as if it's punching into
another dimension.

I like it.

where to begin..

1. it all falls at your definition of music. my definition
is, music is the ordering of sounds in a particular way -->
composition. that broadens it a bit, doesn't it?

2. to say that ae make "chaos" is not true. every fukking
detail, every little sound they put in their music (YES!
music) is there for a reason - the most important reason:
they chose for it to be there. ae have used mathematical
models to create sounds, but they never throw it to chance
alone.

I like Gantz Graf because the texture of the track is
ENORMOUS. you can almost touch the track when it plays. it
is extremely dynamic: it evolves, slaps, revolves, folds in
and over, stretches, snaps, slides and turns and you can
hear EVERY detail of it. this makes it an exhilarating track
for me.

4. there IS melody inside of gantz graf.

It's too much the same samples and rythmical ideas, so isn't
it lame for Rich to release an album with drumlines all the
same.

it'd be cool to have, say, 3 such tracks per album, but not
10. I don't say I don't like it, I think it's one of the
most exciting features of Aphex, but it's pretty much almost
the same lately, this is what gets me.

Mathematically and/or

>yeah there's a structure. I really feel it both in gg

Yeah, but the first track is too primitive, and I deny any
structure captured in that piece of noise. Second is boring.
Third is nice enough to save the release.

>confield. maybe it's something like idm overdose.

I like confield, it's very multisided and atmospherical and
it DOES have structure :)
