Autechre: Classic or Dud?

If running a popular BBS counts then Black Dog were extremely online before most.

Kinda wish I had a Monomachine and MachineDrum just to load their set files. Not sure if it was here or somewhere else but there's a youtube video out there of someone playing with their patches on a Monomachine from that 2008 tour.

(longer, better sound)

(raises the question as to whether something created using autechre's patches is autechre)

honestly i kind of expect that after the physical forms of Brown & Booth expire, their patches and algorithms will continue generating new music, virtually indistinguishable from their previous work, in some corner of the internet for eternity

Forgot about this one, it's pretty good - intense but chill at the same time. And near enough the Public Enemy Security of the First World (aka Justify my Love) beat!

(6852 off Warp Records' Made in Japan compilation)

whoa i've never heard this!!

the beat is actually from here:

https://www.whosampled.com/The-Headhunters/God-Make-Me-Funky/

so, payday and easter weekend means it's time to finally buy those live sets...

i got charged the full £31 for them, despite having the first nine already

and then they fail to download... pah.

(i do appear to have a track called "sinistrail sentinel" in my account though, i don't remember paying for that. a freebie?)

yeah it's an adult swim thing (whatever that means), was briefly discussed on one of the many ae threads.

so, about a month later:

"We have cancelled and refunded your order.

This will actually be fixed either tomorrow or the day after. We will let you know once it is, and if you wish, you can purchase a working copy.

So sorry for the delay, this is a complicated product that got broken and the one person who could fix it was on holiday! True story!"

which is almost one for the innocent aesthetic thread.

no mention of a discount for already having those first 9 though. did everyone else get one?

AUTECHRE - WARP TAPES 89-93 tonight 11pm and Sunday 11pm (and other warp stuff all weekend)

Listening to this now. It's quite sick. These must be their demo tapes? The beat I'm listening to clearly has some synth sounds from Incunabula, but it's an entirely different song, with a lot more samples.

Cheers mate.

I hope I can find a link for the Leila stuff.

The first one last night - happy 444 with the Kalpol bass. Lovely.

everything from channel 1 as a torrent: http://uk.thelion.me/nts/wxaxrxp_warp30.torrent

Whoa. You sir are a absolute LEDGErnd! <3

i just found it on watmm :)

Or get the wavs free from Autechre’s official store - the torrent above is only 128s

Not sure why that didn’t work. Try this?

If not, go to the Autechre store and the link is hidden down at the bottom https://autechre.bleepstores.com/

If you've dug around the watmm threads you might also have seen a "late '80s" tape that someone has dropped in there.

yep, here : https://forum.watmm.com/topic/96791-warp30/page/53/?tab=comments#comment-2725657

and this is just the beginning of the birthday celebrations?

Does this out saer as a member of Autechre???

Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?

Sunday rovers, the 17, 122, 123, 163, 164, and 167. MCWs and old Atlanteans. Cutdown popmates and edding alphabets.

lmao

(fuck the embedded soundcloud player fixed at 100% volume with no way of turning it down)

lol Jordan

hey those Warp 89-93 tapes are pretty good huh

sooo good. might be blasphemous to say, but I prefer it to Incunabula. obviously both are attempting to do very different things tho

yeah Incunabula always felt like a transitional record to me, except there's nothing before it besides that one single

Much of the tapes stuff comes across as an alternate, more bangin' Incunabula. Well, there are literally parts that ended up in tracks on the album all the way through. Easy to favour it right now as it's so fresh.

Yeah it shows some self-confidence for them to go the direction they did with Incunabula, given that they clearly could have released something more crowd-pleasing.

In interviews they've said that for Incunabula they provided their archive of finished tracks to Warp, who picked an album from them. Amber was the first album they created as an album, albeit using some tracks drawn from the same pool.

Any free link to the late 80s tape still working?

dunno but it wasn't that good anyway

https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/43993

I think plazzTT is referring to the other one posted on watmm (expired link upthread) which was basically a home made dj edits tape.

idk I thought it was really nice, its like a great pre-Incunabula album to me

You mean the Warp Tapes 89-93? Not the 'late 80s tape' of dj edits of other people's tracks?

the 89-93 tape is what I was referring to, don't know about this other tape but it sounds cool
