"Autechre" is the street name for two ruffians from Manchester who stole a bunch synthesizers back in the late 80s. They continue to taunt the rozzers by playing maddening computer tunes.

>>68382319
I like it.

Twenty-five years later and the rozzers still aren't sure how to pronounce their street name, let alone start trying to unpack the densities of their tunes.

>>68382451

oright we got two ruffians by the name of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, go by the name of Aw-tek-er, or Aw-teck-uh, or Ow-tesh-ah, or Au-teshr, I don't know how to say the bloody name but we need to get those synthesizers back on the double.

they really don't I remember reading an Untilted review a while back and thought it was the most rubbish shit

>>68384040
was that the one about a tortoise

>>68384600
i don't know that one, I just remember a few lines about ae having made another stupid thing for druggo losers to contemplatively nod their head to in darkened basements. I forget exactly how they put it. I mean, yeah it's basically accurate, but it really shows they just don't get music at all.

>>68384848
i just looked it up, nothing like what you said lol

try quarstice then

>>68384934
doesn't seem to be that one either

they still don't get it but there's no mention of druggo losers, darkened basements or rubbish shit

>>68384965
you got to read between the lines homie

>>68382184
It is tho

>>68385043
i feel worse for having read it at all tbqh

>>68385133
lol. yeah I swear they said that in some autechre review, it was basically implying the only people who would enjoy it are losers who nod their heads and saying it like it was phony or something. I started to look for it but I didn't wanna read that shit either lol.

I saw them last year, it was really grand. I haven't been to many shows but they were the best I'd seen. shit was nuts. Gonna remember the moment that it started forever it was the coolest shit.

autechre make a grime album when?
also anything else similar to this?

>13 posters
ae threads are comfy

>>68385256
yeh I remember that one too.

I missed out on this year's shows. Is it true they're playing in some kind of sit-down auditorium in London?

I still haven't listened to elseq 4 or 5. On 3 rn and it's blowing my mind. Love the second stretch of mesh cinereal, 8 min to 15 mins.

>>68386542
/AE/ is the comfiest of all threads

I hope they don't release anything too soon because I need some time to digest elseq more before I dive into the next insane album

I remember thinking Exai was batshit crazy

the best one is the grantz graf review in nme

Autechre records are purchased solely by bald men in expensive anoraks who would masturbate to a car alarm if it was re-mixed by a German. This impenetrable curtain of misanthropic noise - released with an accompanying three-track DVD that features a squabble of hopelessly pretentious video "interpretations" - is typical of the menopausal electro-manglers' dogged refusal to bow to convention and produce anything of interest to anyone not either a) bald or b) German. It bleeps. It skronks. It krrraaaanks. But mainly, it blows like a ruddy awful hurricane. Remember, kids; if it sounds like a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank, it's because it IS a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank. Avoid as you would a bald German.

>>68387787

Honestly it genuinely pisses me off that the RYM scores went down noticeably after Shitfork gave it a weak review

Autechre represents a threat to p4k. They need to uphold this illusion that they're authorities on music and yet theyre obligated to review this music that's so much better than the shit they endorse, so the obvious strategy is to sideline it by giving it unremarkable scores and hope none of the normies bother with it.

Kinda understandable t b h given that they cant champion inaccessible stuff to their audience without risk of losing them.
