Autechre: Classic or Dud?

Let me save you the bandwidth, it's a mashup of some coming-out radio talk show with odd beats. Not unlistenable but I was trolled pretty hard.

Ah this takes me back to the good old days of audiogalaxy'ing the "new" BoC lol

yeah fake Ae leaks are sort of a tradition

I'm absolutely amazed that after all these years no other acts do this. Didn't Madonna leak a fake once? I'm old enough to remember De La Soul putting donkey noises on advances of "Buhloone Mindstate." But really any act, with literally minimal effort, could leak out some stupid thing with the same track list as the album, just to throw people off and make them wait for the real thing.

Ah yes, I recall lolling at Madonna's looped "what the fuck do you think you're doing?"

thought the fake leak of Daft Punk's Human After All was pretty clever up until it was revealed that it was the actual album

lol

The leak of Built to Spill's You In Reverse had "WHO IS MIKE JONES" tags like every 30 seconds, was hilarious

there was a band that actually did record an entire fake version of an album for this purpose but I can't remember who it was. I'm gonna say, I dunno...Ben Folds

Didn't Akron/Family also do something like that at some point?

guster, they recorded a version of keep it together where all the vocals are replaced with meows

the CD (which comes with a download) is actually more expensive than just the download, LOL

...? manufacturing and transporting a physical item across the planet does actually cost more to do

assuming frogbs meant price before shipping

Lol I wrote that wrong because my brain is broken

The download is 11 pounds
The CD is 10. And comes with a download

But yeah you’d have to pay shipping

Still

Hoping to snag both records in person somewhere locally when they come out. Pre-order shipping prices just for this one is a bit steep. Limited edition shit like the NTS box set is one thing, though.

Yeah, I'll buy a physical CD of this, but not direct from them.

Is it me or have the live sets disappeared from their website? autechre.bleepstores.com now redirects to autechre.warp.net and they're not listed there (nor on their Bandcamp page).

if i click on 'releases' on https://autechre.warp.net/ i can see them.

thanks!

'SIGN' Album Stream. Thursday 8th October.

spoilers

(just ordered the cd yesterday and somehow don't want to hear it before it arrives)

listening live to nts and seeing other people's reactions was great, will definitely be doing this.

Are you telling me this is AE: SIGN? (Autechre LP 14)

Autechre fans shouldn't sleep on the new 7LP box set of collabs with the Hafler Trio on Vinyl on Demand, sounds like these are selling fast:

too rich for my blood

To be clear this is just a vinyl compilation of the three CD/DVD releases from 2003-11, not new material. I found them pretty boring at the time.

Yeah I bought the CDs & listened to them twice at most. Then when I sold my whole collection except for the autechre ones, they went too.

Chiastic & LP5 coming soon

lfo mentioned them in a song but i never got into them for some reason and as i can see they really only had one charted single basscadet which is ok so i will pass on them as a dud for now!

👍

I have been waiting for this for a very very very long time

so one cool thing when you keep listening to the elseq-NTS-AE_LIVE thing is recognizing one melody or pattern manifest itself in another track. for example I just noticed that "7th slip" uses the melody from "chimer 1-5-1" though it's such a different sound it escaped me the first 20 listens

FYI just got notification that the LP5 vinyl reissue has been delayed

Chiastic Slide still on schedule though

I got LP5 (and slide) through the post today - so some are out there

oh weird. Maybe just US then? Email came from Ochre

looks like they were both delayed, but only a week

Anyone else's Acroyear2 audibly skipping? Everything else sounds fab

is this your first Autechre album?

(sorry couldn't resist)

Hehe I was surprised I could even tell it was skipping tbh

looking on Discogs & WATMM a few people have had this issue. one said "Rae" (B1) had that issue too so maybe some of the records got warped. I wonder if adjusting your tonearm weight would work.

just out of curiosity, does it skip the whole way or does it start when the drums kick in?

I reported the issue with Rae. Was not a warping thing - sounded like the master. Audio was literally cut weird or glitched in a way that vinyl doesn't produce.

It's been a hard Acroyear for everyone

I got a replacement copy from Bleep and it did the same thing on both my turntables. Nothing wrong with any of the other tracks.

I had a bunch of Micronauts toys as kid. I think they all disappered at some point, not been able to find any of it. Really cool and bizarre stuff like Transformers on mushrooms.
