... you're asking if the general consensus of everyone's opinion on autechre's music is too positive (...too positive for what)... I read negative comments about autechre often (maybe about 1/2 negative and 1/2 positive) such as ones in this thread. Overall the CONSENSUS is that their music is average. So you're asking if ... average... is too high? Too high for what? Maybe you mean to ask each individual whether the consensus is too high or low in praise relative to their own personal rating. If this is the case, I think it's much much much much too low.. but when you take into account the fact that most people are fart knockers, the consensus seems more fitting. |

Not THE best, but pretty fucking close if you ask me! |

i think they are they best together with Aphex in IDM, i couldn't think of some better artists in that type of music.. |
||||||||

|
|
who's the best in your opinion then fart knocker? |

well.. it just really irritates me when people say that what ae does, is "random". Iroel: sorry, thats all I have and as Frag said "Generative music is really inaccessible, and uninteresting at that.", I just wanted to show that ae's music isn't generative by nature. |
||||||||

It's really no coincidence that he said they are inaccessible and uninteresting. It makes sence that those who find their music inaccessible will find in uniteresting as well, since it's actually very interesting if you take the time to proberly access it.... or something. |

oh im a good speller today =( |

|

but why is it some people (most) cant realize that if they cant personally understand a particular type of music, the music isnt necessarily inaccessible to everyone. same thing if some artist's music doesnt interest you, it doesnt mean that it's uninteresting. i dont get how people seem to believe that their own opinions are facts. |

What do you expect? all humans were children not too long ago. I think god was created as a parent figure. We grew up all that time trying to understand the world through the organs attached to our own brain. It's amazing we can even cast introspection in the direction of another person. Without memory we couldn't learn anything. I don't like socks. |

I also like socks. They are comfy and tend to keep my feet warm. |

I love autechre...I dont care others opinions, I just love listening to it...I enjoy, why worrying about what people think if I have great time with their music? |
||||||||

autechre arent overrated at all end of story, i like autechre more than aphex i think(which i do like a lot too) but just because others like it mean you have to. it could be that since you see others on this board like it that your missing something but you could also just not like it as it is. you could try listening to more of their releases to see, its definately a style thats dfferent than most idm, its harder to get into but I think youll appreciate it more once you get used to their style. thats my thoughts. |

I love molesting young boys...I dont care others opinions, I just love doing it...I enjoy, why worrying about what people think if I have great time with them? I said I DON'T like socks by the way. |

absolutely non valid comparison |

whats with the anti-socks-stance, w M w..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think autechre is really really really bad. so anyone who thinks they're average is really really really over rating them. i mean i'm sure i 'get' their music... but their approach to musi cis just stupid and a waste of music listening time.. they do too much to acomplish so little. and that 'too much' distracts the listener in what's really important, so, some listeners, see that 'too much' and think it's genius.... well it's not, it's just waste. |

I do not get what you are trying to say. you sound very vague. |

0. I was an AFX-only guy. 1. almost (almost!) EVERYONE progressing from young IDM stages goes through this 'Ae's overrated' phase. I were like you some time ago. I just listened and thought: what tha crap, man?! I can throw a pile o'samples into a random mixup, and then half-quantize it and put some uncatchable lead under it all, it'd be no different... Then I made myself listen to Ae through about 3 months, forcing evolution. And finally... One day I realized: "this music is something God gave to us to compensate the fact life is shit" (c). Give Ae some listens after a month or two, I tell you, evolution is imminent. And seeing the incomprehensible beauty of some of their records, you'll have no choice but to agree with my theory :) PS they ARE higher than RDJ. He's kidding around, and they... I don't know. Their music is so inhuman. Poor Sean and Rob, they must be from some other place. |

different strokes from different folks if you dont like ae you're missin out but they aren't the only people puttin out good tunes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cyg, yeah, they aren't the only, but unique in everything and I used to dislike Confield. I would agree to any of you Confield-haters back then. And now I see that half of it is as precious as everything they've done before ep7. GG is still EP7, remember it :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well, i had an "i like autechre phase". then i realized that it was what i call "stupid music". |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Word. Woooozle Wooosie WEEEEEE! |
||||||||
|

i think all that shit about generative music is him talking out of his ass.... same thing aphex used to do... music sounds like nothing else, so try and make it look like it was made with some mad method..... |

One really has to wonder why this topic is even here at all? |

frag is insanely overrated |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ok.. . stupid thread.. . its like a colour blind person saying that a colour they cant see is overrated.. . I loved Confield.. . but when I heard GG I thought "theyve finally lost it" Dial sounded like utter shit to me.. . but it grew on me.. . and then I discovered this.. . http://www.mip.berkeley.edu/physics/G+50+05.html I went looking into it after hearing a piece in dial that seems to be going constantly upwards (its the constant plodding piece.. . most prominent near the end of the track) fucking amazing if you ask me.. . Autechre are actually putting some thought into their new releases I think. .. |

Either you like them or you dont... no need to fight. ;) |

autechre overrated?? no way, they are just rated the way people like them... I mean if people like them why shall that be overrating? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
besides...not that many people like them... many criticise them in this board as many love them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's called shepards tune or something. i made a about this a long time ago |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i think youve got a real good point there, but maybe a little too generalized. but that's why i stop arguing with anti-ae people, cause most of em do start to enjoy their music in the end. this situation isnt unique to ae either, and this is why i stop saying 'this music is crap, overrated' or whatever stupid categorization people make and atrribute it to music (which makes no sense imo), because one day you finally realize either (a) you do enjoy the music now and see you were an ignorant fool some while back or (b) it's just not music that suits your taste, and so fuckin what. anyhow, a fact remains, god is 2 seperate people collaborating together with the music skills. named ae. |

heh, this whole topic is nonsense. this is just one of these "i don't like this and that" topic with another name. this is just another stupid quarrel about who does like what. but the interesting thing is, that everyone says this is nonsense, but look how this topic has grown up... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i rtghink you sre right - thwey do do some great tracks sometimes though - other times they aren't very good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true. by wanting to post that a certain thread should maybe go away, you contribute to the opposite by putting the thread at the top of the list, ironic... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Well there are alot of UNDERRATED Artists, who are infact better than AE & AFX |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOONE IS BETTER THAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111 |

:-/ Errr...I just listened to amber, once again for thousandth time, listen to the sounds(reallylisten!), hear how they evolve, feel how they evolve! It's not hard...but yeah...like someone once said on this mb...opionions are like nipples....we all have them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also just finished listening to Amber in it's entiredy, while reading the book 'Dreamcatcher'. They went so well together it's scary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are WRONG frag |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does everyone have against autechre?!?!?!?! their new stuff like LP5 and Confield (not their new ep blew) is increadble! they should only get better with time.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course RDJ is kidding around with his releases. He saves the best shit for himself. I think if he released a double album of ONLY his best and most personal tracks, it would make fucking Autechre look like EurotrashPopTechnoshit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HA HA HA yeah, thats it. "no no no, AFX is the best, we've only never heard it, because he hasn't released that stuff, yeah.." thats like believing someone who says to you: "my music is the BEST but I won't let you hear it.." OH YEAH I would believe him.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't get why people are still replying... what i meant was, i was tired of people going AE IS THE BEST, NOTHING IS BETTER THAN AE! it just got irritating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think AE suck, but I do think AFX is better. But aside from that, I'm gonna have to agree with Frag. If someone has said "Nothing is better than AE" then they need to be more open minded. I'm not even going to say AFX is better anymore, I just enjoy his music more than AE's... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still think ae are a bit overrated :o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I say, maybe fairly overrated on this board. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it all clicked when I listened to the RDJ album and heard all those ZX Spectrum samples. These guys are trying to write programs for the brain. Sometimes I listen to Autechre and think it is sad obscurist shit and sometimes I listen to it and these ideas come into my mind. Are autechre programming me? |
