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

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

In welcome jazz IDM cover news Steve Lehman does Oversteps' 'qplay' on his new one

i am generally unmoved by non-electronic instrument cover versions of electronic music but of course i will try to hear it once.

Putting this here so i find it later:

12 hours of selections by Autechre.https://t.co/8KkKhZCuXm

— Warp Records (@WarpRecords) October 16, 2019

i've played it a handful of times, never really stunned

probably it fits in more with the approach of lehman's group than being a particularly probing translation from one medium/style to another

I just have a thing for jazz AE covers; when I hear 444 I really want it to have a sax solo

The Mixlr mix is a lot of fun!

Apparently they've been back on Mixlr, anyone listening?

Am now! http://mixlr.com/autechre/

Good timing lmao

I feel somewhere between excited and unprepared. I spent more time with Autechre than any other artist in 2018, after more abortive explorations years before. But I still haven't even heard several albums and EPs. I got through NTS Sessions five times, but if you played name-that-Ae with me I'd probably bomb. It's kind of like I took several Ae courses and narrowly passed with a C-, and mostly just because I did most of the full-credit-if-you-just-did-it assignments. So now here's word of a next-level course —no prerequisites—and I want to take it but am afraid of flunking. I kind of like this idea of trying hard and failing, though at times I'm not quite sure what's there that I'm trying to appreciate. (I would write my way through some of NTS Sessions but eventually ran out of anthropomorphisms.)

There no rules to the Ae

Most of the time it all sits in one randomized play list on my computer and when a new one comes out I throw it in the pile.

how dare you, those albums are sequenced, we live in a society.
Jesse I would recommend Confield, EP7, Untilted and Exai as essential reference listening. If you want to go earlier, probably Amber, Garbage, Envane, Cichlisuite and the Peel Sessions are my recommendations. And LP5 but that's probably their most sterile sounding work (excepting the beauty of Rae).

just listen to all of their albums chronologically

once the music of one album sounds natural, even inevitable, move on to the next

shouldn't take more than five or ten years

Here's a playlist of Autechre in chronological order - warning, this is my "best of" playlist, so it likely is missing some of your favorites, but is much more complete now with the recent additions of elseq 2-5.
