No.
I'm thinking maybe Other People Place should have won for "Let me be me" alone.

the answer is Autechre - LP5.
actually, maybe i did vote.
listen, warp records was responsible for the best albums of the 90s end of. end fucking of.

people who voted for SAW2 and all the early shit are so wrong.
why have warp gone so shit since 2001? battles aside, it's all been bollocks and reissues and shit releases by once-upon-a-time good bands... why did idm die sucha hard death?

also why no more love for the haunted dancehall? pure mashup area stonehead tunes! we love, love.

drunkjen btw.
i mean, there's nothing wrong with saw2 and the early shit, but there's so much better out there.
essentials:
boards - music has the right autechre - lp5 aphex twin - come to daddy ep plaid - restproof clockwork sabres - haunted dancehall two lone swordsmen - tiny reminders
i think those are the very best.

I was the vote for Prefuse's first album - I think I just heard it at the right time with the right people, and consequently for weeks the whole house was walking around going "I'm about to ex......it" and "Fuck words of wisdom/I/foo/I fuck/dick/ge-ih-uh-I-do-I-lo-i-li-I-fuck/dick"
― Hurting 2, Saturday, 26 May 2007 04:21 (seventeen years ago) link
I've never understood just why SAW II is so beloved. I mean, CD1 track 1 and 3, for instance, I wouldn't hesitate to call some of the finest pieces of music I've ever heard. But even so, the vast majority is just way too dark for me, which still is fine, but for 2 and a half hours or so. . .
Not one vote for Electro-Soma though. . . hmmmmmmn. "Hall of Mirrors" alone puts it among my top choices; similarly so with Bytes and The Clan - "Mongol Hordes".

LP5 over Tri Repetae or Chiastic Slide?
― Bill in Chicago, Saturday, 26 May 2007 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link
^^^ absolutely! is the best autechre record (always prefered cichli suite to chiastic slide as well)
― 696, Saturday, 26 May 2007 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link
Why isn't EP 7 there?
I'm strangely partial to that, and also to Incunabula

I like the "Butterfly Prowler" track on the new Clark album. His tracks can get a bit cluttered/muddled.. there's a lot going on in some of them, but it can be sort of impenetrable or too compressed-sounding.

He's did this track-by-track description, it's worth a gander
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Friday, 14 April 2017 19:33 (seven years ago) link
That's a good description of his tracks ^ Some of them really hit the sweet spot for me, the closest he's come to a fully realized success is "Clark" I think.
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 14 April 2017 19:49 (seven years ago) link
good description in reference to your post braunld

The s/t is pretty solid throughout, been meaning to purchase it but something else always comes up. I read an interview where he talks about the book Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, and how the album (s/t) is sort of based on/related to it.. anyway, made me pick up the book and it was good, easy/engaging sci fi. Haven't yet delved further into the trilogy, though.

Oh nice, i'll have to check that book out. Reading the article that explains his recording process was really interesting. His enthusiasm for explaining the visceral sounds he achieves is v cool. Not sure it always translates to the most enjoyable experience but ymmv

Might be near to redo this poll with all the stuff that's come out since then.

if we can judge an album by the ILM threads it inspires drukqs is a truly dreadful album

yeah, Amber is great.. (re: Autechre)
the early-mid 00s stuff (Draft + Untilted) is possibly my favorite of theirs. The AE_LIVE material is underrated as well
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Sunday, 16 April 2017 20:43 (seven years ago) link
Quaristice, too. No other Autechre album has so much variety and consistently playable material.. probably top 3-5 for me

my housemate was playing the Plone album just yesterday and if anything it still sounds amazing
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 17 April 2017 00:05 (seven years ago) link
DL - Have you heard the second Plone album, it's a really evolved sound, almost reminds me more of pre-Mum at times.
Heard new Clark album this weekend and "Butterfly Prowler" and "Peak Magnetic" are the stand out tracks. His formula seems a bit predictable in that he has way too many ideas lobbed on top of some tracks that are also trying to make you move. Doesn't quite work for me.
