Same with Chiastic from Tri Rep t b h m8

>>68676451
agreed my dude. hub is fucking god tier

>>68676218
LP5 is their biggest leap though
people usually say Confield but LP5 laid the groundwork for their abstract/generative phase.

>>68676218
>>68676451
>>68676490
When did ae stop getting better? Draft? Untilted? Never?

>>68676490
dunno if i can agree with that
LP5 feels more like the conclusion to the Tri Repetae-era

>>68676530
oversteps, its not bad but quaristice is way better

>>68676530
i'm in the minority that thinks Elseq is just ok

>>68676554
Really disagree with you there anon. I think oversteps is their most lovingly crafted album and arguably their best. But also I think Quaristice (versions) is quite a bit better than Quaristice.

>>68676530
Untilted is my favorite, so my answer would be Quaristice. They really stepped up their game with Exai though.

>>68676660
>Untilted is my favorite

>>68676631
idk oversteps felt like a step back to me, its the only ae record which i dont like that much but each to their own i guess

>>68676560
what's the actual majority opinion of elseq?

>>68677312
Really long, complex, and hard to form a concrete opinion. Ask in a couple years, it took a while for Exai to be digested which is less than half the length

Will the tri repetae repress be a gatefold? I can only find conflicting evidence online

>>68676530
untilted was their first album to disappoint
quaristice was their first album to be below average

what's the most underrated ae track and why is it M39 Diffain?

I think I'm slowly getting into elseq, was a bit drunk listening to elseq 4 on headphones, lush as fuck

>>68676262
You forgot eutow

>>68677749
its m62

Opinions on Exai?

>>68676530
I legitimately think AE_Live is up there with their best work.

>>68676741
I see people say this often but I don't understand it. Oversteps is not a step back at all. It's their most contrapuntally complex work - they never made anything that intricate with regards to melody. They applied the same technique for their past wonky beats for the wonky melodies.

>>68676560
Now that the hype has sort of died down people are pretty split on it so I'm not sure there's a majority opinion. I think the high rating on RYM is mostly due to 1&4.

For me elseq 4 is super overrated but 3 is absolutely fantastic and doesn't get enough love. imo the minimalist stuff in the collection is the strongest (5 is my fav) and most compelling, but most seem to prefer the more beat-oriented stuff...

>>68676530
not sure music wise, but i know rob just keeps aging better and better desu senpai

>>68676554
I love Quaristice. It's so underrated, though I tend to agree that some of the variations of tracks from the two accompanying EPS are better than the album itself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6FZLfmuLPo

https://www.mixcloud.com/NYUHM/autechre-25-years-the-megamix/

>>68676218
Which album to start with?

anyone else think elseq is 10/10 aotysf? I thought it was one of the most thoroughly engaging releases in the past several years? or am i just fanwanking w/o enough context?

>>68681602
it's really, really good, but i cannot for the life of me get into chimer 1-5-1 or c7b2. with the former i get that it's supposed to be some demented, decontextualized rave tune, but 13x0 step and 7th slip execute that idea far more successfully. c7b2 gets a lot better in it's second half when it turns totally brutal, but that first half is just sf annoying to me lol.

i do love most everything else though and it suits the colder, gloomier weather. to me it's not an "album proper" however and i believe more people would enjoy it if they went into it looking at it like a pick and mix or data dump or w/e. rob and sean are certainly dismantling those 'rockist' connotations!

>>68681556
Tri Repetae ++ is most likely the best entry point

>>68681556
chronologically

lp5 is their worst honestly

>>68685290
But Confield and Amber are my two favorites. What does that make me?

>>68685290

I'm always completely blown away by 1 1 is. It's like listening to a beat you can vaguely relate to, but it's compressed into the next level of existence, really stunning sound design. Melodies are superb aswell, absolutely underrated as I never see anyone praising them. 3:36-3:42 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, what a tune.

I don't expect anyone to really care about this post, but that's ok.

Reniform Puls from Draft 7.30 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQFQIy1su2g) honestly such a special track, and only because of the first couple of minutes.There is this wonderful sound that comes in and it has such a great progression that really evokes some sort of feeling, almost melancholy, but it's sweet at the same time. This section only lasts for a moment but it's just so amazingly beautiful while it lasts. I've neglected a lot of Autechre's discography, and Reniform Puls caught me off guard. Draft 7.30 is very danceable compared to a lot of their work, so I was expecting more of the same through to the end of the album, but then this moment of almost-emotional-but-not-quite bliss comes in and it's just... Incredible, and the fact that it just disappears makes it even more beautiful. It creates such an amazing atmosphere in so little time. A lot of people hold up Rae as an example of Autechre being capable of emotion in their music, but I think Reniform Puls is a much better example.

I've been listening to their discography over again trying to find these odd moments of emotion, and I'm not finding many, but I didn't expect to. I'm worried this may be my ruiner.

>>68676218
Tbh Amber is better.
Tri Rep is a bit too repetitive and grating without enough variation, while Amber is just analog heaven.

>>68686739

>>68681556
Amber

The turning point in their discography is surely Chiastic slide... they said in an interview they took a lot of mushrooms that year.

>>68676490

LP5 is their worst album, and a step down from Chiastic Slide. It sounds "cute" and glitchy in a way that few of their other recordings sound, and it even sounds like they're going along with someone else's trends rather than thinking for themselves.

Happily, they thought to themselves afterward: "dude we fell off, we're better than this and we need to up our game and go even WEIRDER" and then they released Confield and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

>>68715933
my guess is that incunabula will get like an 8

the real interesting thing will be whether or not they rate amber or tri rep higher; dance communities seem to hold amber up in higher regard while more ""serious""/experimental critics prefer the latter. one of them will get a 9.0 or 9.1 and the other will get an 8.7 or 8.8 - possibly higher if it's sherburne that reviews them.

screencap this.

>>68678288

>>68676218
Why is the vinyl pressing "complete with surface noise"? Is this album meant to be listened to with vinyl?

i sorta wish autechre would take a break from haswell (and other gescom affiliates) in terms of live support.

i like noise okay but he's becoming such a safe choice, plus it would be cool if they could highlight some more up and comers like they did with cygnus. i suppose it's partly a question of who they'd want to spent 30 days with though...

>>68733326
I do think they thought that at the time, but I doubt they do anymore.

>>68733320
Very lush. Parts of it do seem a bit similar to Heliosphan tho.

>>68735439
i dont see why people say this

>>68677312
i think its the best thing they've ever done

>>68733302
I don't know honestly, it's just not as "intricate" as their post-LP5 stuff. I appreciate the progressions in each track, but there's rarely enough happening to keep me interested for 6-8 minutes. And then there's the subtle melodies that just don't resonate with me like they usually do.

I really just wondered if you guys could tell me what I'm supposed to be looking for.

>>68677312
elseq is the only Autechre record that would have benefited from a tighter selection of tracks imo. I certainly have appreciation for every track on here, even the long, meandering ambient ones, but if I'm really in the mood for some elseq tracks I usually just listen to the same 5 or 6 pieces and skip the ones that don't strike me as being worthwhile/interesting enough.

current playlist:
>1. 13x0 step
>2. pendulu hv moda
>3. mesh cinereaL
>4. acdwn2
>5. 7th slip

it's just over an hour long and holds my attention all the way thru. as of right now, it wouldn't have bothered me if the put only those 5 tunes out desu

>>68736024
>I usually just listen to the same 5 or 6 pieces and skip the ones that don't strike me as being worthwhile/interesting enough
I think this is sort of what they were going for though. It's less of an album, more of dump, and they just want people to listen to the bits they like.

>>68736089
yeah I feel the same way, it's a shame though because they know damn well how to put a tight album together. LPs like Confield, LP5, even Exai, feel so concise and well paced when you listen to them front to back, they've almost got a narrative quality to them. i think i'd hold elseq in much higher regard if they'd just put a 1.5 hour chopped-down version out on vinyl

>>68736269
i suppose it doesn't really bother me, but it might be because i feel the opposite - i think putting together a "cohesive" album, at least in the traditional sense, is one of their weaker traits. there usually tends to be at least one choice in the tracklisting that i question. confield and quaristice are the exceptions for me.

not that i don't find their albums enjoyable when listening to them in one sitting (plus i come from more of a dance singles/eps bg), but i usually tend to view them as collections more than an experience. i realise i'm in the minority on this.

>c16 deep tread
I've honestly had trouble exploring the rest of elseq cus I just keep replaying this tune over and over and over. So good.

This thread is getting me back into ae! Haven't listened in years apart from using Amber as background gaming music a few weeks ago.

Incunabula has always been my favorite, not because I think it's really that much better than the rest, but because I liked their techno-y phase a lot. Amber, LP5, Untilted and Oversteps are some other I reached for pretty often.

>>68740537
>clive owen

It's practically him.

>>68742822
i love super abstract, microtonal ae with all my heart but i'd love if they released something super dance-floor friendly again because i think they have a keener ear for it than they might believe. perhaps under a new moniker? on a smaller label? esp since gescom is p much defunct...

haha, autechre right?

wtf i listened to some of the tunes posted here, this shit aint music

what the fuck are you idiots talking about

i cant believe you like this crap or call it "emotional" in any sense its just bleeps and blops without any sort of logic progression

>>68750556
you just dont get it, listen to it more

>>68750556
"And is our music abstract and weird? To us or our mates it's not! Maybe if you've only listened to pop music, then yeah, it's weirder, because you've not been exposed to it. But that works the other way, too. I don't listen to pop, but someone dumped a load of Max Martin tracks on me to try and explain what he was about, and it seemed really, really alien to me, like Nazi youth music or something. I think everyone has a different idea of what weird is."
Sean Booth

>>68750581
This is stupid. Pop works because the entire music is engineered to be as harmless and appealing as possible. Saying a pop song is alien to you is just being autistic on purpose to pretend you're a kool kid who listen to no popular crap

>>68750424
what are the lads like live these days?
Are they wanky or do they actually play something nice and danceable?

>>68750663
not as wanky as on the albums, but i wouldnt say that it is easy to dance to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5l9j4ObjO4

>>68750663
Did you not listen to Ae_live? Mate....

>>68750672
wow this is p sick I might go

>>68750605
What is harmless and appealing is entirely subjective though and is only relative to ones exposure.

>>68750695
It's an amazing show. The bass is pretty immense when ur there - so it's a bit like highly fragmented hip-hop. The show I went to had some grimey bits in it as well.

>>68750605
Well imagine not listening to radio, music publications for a few years. Or watching a popular youtuber in a different language its disorienting

>>68750700
>What is harmless and appealing is entirely subjective
"no"

no matter how you try to spin that doom metal is harmless and appealing to you, the general opinion disagrees and that's what matter

>>68750730
And do you always agree with the general opinion? If you were to listen to nothing but doom metal for 30 years and then suddenly given a diet of Katy Perry then, yeah, it'd sound alien to you. That's the gist of what he was saying.

Plus this is super Western-centric as pop music can be incredibly different in other countries.

>>68750758
>If you were to listen to nothing but doom metal for 30 years and then suddenly given a diet of Katy Perry then, yeah, it'd sound alien to you

No it wouldn't. katy perry music is made to be catchy, you don't need to like it to recognize that.

>>68750730
General opinion =/= objectivity

>>68750773
>general opinion doesn't matter regarding to pop music

Are you retarded or just memeing

>>68750771
How is something objectively appealing?

>>68750782
That's not what I said at all. My point was that it isn't objective. You've been implying that pop music is objectively appealing, which isn't the case. Anything based on taste or opinion is subjective.

There have also been studies that support the idea that what is "normal" wrt to music is heavily based on environment and exposure. Here's one based on how different cultures respond to consonance vs dissonance:

>>68750947
because it isnt
me farting in a mic isnt music, even if you record it and become top listener on lastfm
some random idiot mashing keys on a keyboard isnt music, its just an idiot mashing keys on a keyboard

Just started getting into Autechre lads.

Started with Tri Repetae. Shit was damn near perfect, gave it a 10.

Moved on to Chiastic Slide, fucking great album, very high 8.

Then came LP5, good shit, strong 7.

Then Confield. I tried lads but, man it was out there. I couldn't give it higher than a 6, maybe it's a grower.

Where do I go now?

>>68751030
Weirder: Draft 7.30
Less weirder: Amber

Leterel is underrated.

>>68751030
Try their 2005 - 2010 era, I'd say go
Quaristice - Untilted - Oversteps

>>68751969
untilted and quaristice were the last two records i got into, oversteps is the way to go imo

>>68751020
listen to more autechre you dumb shit

it is music, you just dont get it. start with tri repetae then the rest of their work chronologically

how limited does your music taste have to be in order to genuinely think ae isnt music lol

For real imagine this kids trying to listen to something off raster-norton or Diagonal

imo

'10s Autechre (including Oversteps / MOT) > '90s Autechre > '00s Autechre

Confield is my fav though

which is better - untilted or draft 7.30?

those are the only two albums i still haven't checked out.

>>68756427
untilted imo, but you should be checking them both out obviously.

>>68756437
right, i will, just curious. which eras do either fit into? or how do they fit in with the other albums iyo?

>>68756427
Draft

>>68756465
those two and confield are ae at their most complex, and can be taken as a group with confield the same way chiastic slide, lp5, and ep7 can

>>68757089
Confield is actually pretty simple though. Almost minimalist at times.

>>68756364
00s > 10s > 90s tbqh

>>68737612
lmao i always liked this one cause it reminded me of Goldeneye 64

>>68757180
confield is a lot closer to draft and untilted than it is to lp5 and ep7

>>68757612
Draft, sure. Untilted? Eh, not to me.

wtf new live stuff sounds crazy

>elseq 1 is available on bleep/apple/spotify but the rest isn't
what did they honestly mean by this

probably warp's dumbass decision

i rlly wish they weren't on that label

post your all-time favorite ae moments

https://youtu.be/wdKIJHXzPkk?t=50m24s

ae_live is such a gold mine

>>68758885
which label would you pick for ae to release on from now on?

my first thought is raster noton

>>68759740
hmm, i dunno really. they wouldn't need to stick to one label in particular. they could always just do emego for a safe bet and they could probably keep up with demand. imo from what i've read, warp is too business-like/capitalistic and can be sorta shady. idk this quote from sean in the recent ra interview rubbed me the wrong way t bh

>We do always try to get Warp to put stuff out, and if they're just me and Rob, there's no reason for 'em not to unless they're really fucking unsellable tracks. Warp do have a tendency to like stuff that's proven.

there are plenty of independent/underground/experimental, forward thinking labels that would love to put out the "unlistenable stuff' - i WANT to hear that stuff! warp's philosophy and ae's just don't seem to align anymore...

>>68759980
true, exactly
i think ae fits warp's identity for still having them, as in Warp likes being such an old and 'historic' label while still pumping out new things / signing new artists

but warp doesn't so much fit ae's identity
or not so much identity as lack of one, they don't let ae do whatever they'd like which u know emego would totally

>>68760043
yeah, i agree with what you've said. this year i've actually been impressed with warp's a&r - lorenzo senni and danny brown are inspired signings, but i've still grown so weary of them as a brand.

i do sorta like the idea of ae jumping around from label to label, though. there could be so many opportunities - esp since they both live in two of england's most prosperous scenes: sean's in manchester which often specializes in bleak, muffled experimental electronic music (ex. death of rave, modern love), while rob lives in bristol which has really been thriving on the dance/club front as of late. it could be a chance for ae to carve out different identities (while still being singular of course).

anyone else feel like confield is actually kind of overrated?

>>68761345
i think its definitely hailed a lot without explanation, which is odd for ae being a really subjective experience for their fans (they usually describe why they like what they like)

but i think it deserves most of its praise

>>68756364
10's > 00's > 90's

>>68756427
Draft. I used to believe Untilted was better until an anon here posted their explanation. In short, Untilted feels like a computer is controlling everything where confield, draft, Quaristice and exai/elseq have a distinct human feeling, calculated but also natural.

>>68761345
80% of Confield is very well constructed, songs like Uviol and Lendic Catcharess are fucking amazing. But that 20% of eh really throws me off; VI Scose Poise is a fantastic demonstration of the algorithms they use, but why use it as the first track? It makes me not want to continue with the album. If only they started with cfern - sim gishel - pen expers.

>>68760393
holy shit
absolute madmen

do metal/dronefags like ae?

>>68763114
it's surprising to me that it took this long for ae to head in the direction of that snippet + eastre considering that they've played shows or collaborated with sunn o))), earth, and the hafler trio.

Pic related is the only Autechre album I've listened to. I like it but I thought it was a bit too complex, is there something a bit more toned down I should listen to in their discog?

>>68767633
tri rep or chiastic maybe. though some people find these too repetitive (i strongly disagree). if you want something more experimental than those two then you have confield which is alienating and unnerving, but not really all that complex as they were just getting their heads around max/msp .

>>68767633
I think the best way to get into Autechre is through release order.

>>68767703
>>68767733
thanks for recs. I'll probably just go through their discog

>>68767733
>>68767703
incunabola is really good so far, thanks for the suggestion for release order.

Post eery or haunting Autechre tracks

ae said in their q&a that warp owns the autechre brand, and the rights to their personal names

>>68767806
glad to hear youre going through it chronologically! it's great seeing their progression. pretty much everything they released from incunabula on is somewhere between good and perfect, so dont skip anything. make sure you check out the ep's as well, some of their best material is on those.

i never really like the chronogical rec. ive always preferred to just jump around and sample different periods of their career
