Is this the longest we've gone between autechre releases?
Anyway, I guess this is finally giving me time to really dig into the live stuff they released (both the 14-15 live sets and the 16-18 ones, listening to Toronto_011015 right now). Kind of fun to lisen to these and notice the subtle changes from one set to the next, it's like listening to a slightly different version of the same album every time.

for most artists I like "this is the longest they've gone without an album" makes me go "uh oh hope everything's ok with them" but for Autechre it's "uh oh hope the next thing isn't 16 hours long"

Exai > elseq - three years two months (lp5 > confield and untilted > quaristice were almost three years)

Feels like the gap between Untilted and Quaristice was significant but maybe not

Two and a half years since Plus, so not an abnormal amount of time I suppose

I kind of hope the gap signals a shift towards a different direction for them, it's time to mix it up a bit

how is this possible

Moodles OTM. It would be nice if SIGN/PLUS turned out to be transitional albums
― Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? (dog latin), Thursday, 18 May 2023 16:02 (one year ago) link
I liked them a lot because they felt more focused and refined than the various sprawling releases that preceded them, they could be a nice cap on that era.

xxxposts - there's a 7CD "autechre remixes" compilation by someone called Laxir but it's not official obv

Live date in Dublin in October. Maybe new tunes?

― StanM, Tuesday, 23 May 2023 11:14 (one year ago) link
yeah, it's not local to me so they didn't notify me, fair enough I guess. I don't know if there's a setting to widen the search, I'm not going to visit a different country to see them so it doesn't matter.

Nearest concert to you (in Mechelen, Belgium) : Dublin
(ok ok, I suppose in the USA that would be kinda 1 state away but us Europeans aren't used to that kind of distance)
― StanM, Tuesday, 23 May 2023 15:20 (one year ago) link
i honestly don't know what "direction" they could go in that would be more interesting than what they did on PLUS other than .. deeper into the wilderness i guess, whatever that means, they always seem to realize what that is pretty convincingly. like i don't see them backing out of just making things really unstable in a hundred ways plus some strong emotional undercurrents.

I mean that video Sean shared of a Max patch sounded sick as hell and some interesting directions separate from PLUS/SIGN
― octobeard, Wednesday, 24 May 2023 19:12 (one year ago) link
I recently posted in the SIGN thread I think that album is more interesting than I gave it credit for, in fact i think a lot of it could be given orchestral arrangements the same way people have tried with Aphex Twin. if it was a new Boards of Canada album I think people would be really fascinated by it
― frogbs, Wednesday, 24 May 2023 19:16 (one year ago) link
Yeah I can see that. In retrospect I'm not as keen on those "orchestral" tracks, but they would work really well played on live instruments

Man, listening back to this album is giving me... there must be a weird German word for the type of trauma-nostalgia that comes with being suddenly reminded of living in the lockdown era

It looks like there’s …. Something out on August 10?!?
But I can’t tell if it’s a new live album or tickets to new tour dates or what

I think it's 2022 live recordings

It’s live albums

Thanks. The link in the AE email I received didn’t offer any clarity.

(By which I mean, probably ridiculously, resolving for me that maybe, just maybe, CD versions of these live sets might be available instead of digital files)

*feverishly hits refresh*
i actually dreamt last night that this was out, alongside an announcement of a new album called nononononono, and a remix of a pavement live concert!

this came this morning. but i'm not quite sure what it is. the track listing includes "autechre - jnsn code gl16 - remixed by YAGE"
https://touched.bandcamp.com/merch/fsoldigital-presents-mind-maps-4-limited-cd
touched are interesting - they did those three cancer charity compilations on consecutive christmasses, the last of which had ~256 tracks in it. there were also a few compilations of anonymous tracks some of which are probably autechre (the track titles are a clue). the mind maps thing though, is physical only, no digital.
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:17 (nine months ago) link
(by "i'm not quite sure what it is" i mean is it a compilation of YAGE remixes (although 3 aren't marked as remixes) or a mix cd or somewhere between the two. it also features humanoid, isan, fsol, scanner...)
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:20 (nine months ago) link
here's the original of that ae track - https://touched.bandcamp.com/album/jnsn-code-gl16-spl47

FSOLs mind map mix series is amazing fwiw. Can't wait to check this new one
― octobeard, Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:59 (nine months ago) link
(actually the orignals of those two autechre tracks on that 12" were the 2nd and 3rd touched compilations, which had 254 and 417 tracks respectively)

so Ae and Actress are playing in Sydney in two weeks, and I will be there, but a dinner had been organised preventing me from going. I found out today the dinner has been moved to the following night. And of course the show is sold out now.

Interesting that suddenly all the live Autechre records of the last few years are no longer on Apple Music.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:00 (nine months ago) link
they're still on spotify (uk), gathered under two albums now (14-15 and 16-18 sets).
still furiously refreshing ae_store.
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:23 (nine months ago) link
up now (under ae_live). download only (no cd).
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:56 (nine months ago) link
it wouldn't let me download the big set of live releases (got a refund) but now they've added the ones i already have and bumped the price up so i'm slightly reluctant to retry. i will get around to 16-18 eventually.
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:57 (nine months ago) link
(actually, looking now, the price has dropped £11 (iirc) for the big set)
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:59 (nine months ago) link
so all their 2022 shows except Primavera ( https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=autechre+2022 <- doesn't have Milan listed at the moment)
― StanM, Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:14 (nine months ago) link
(can someone let me know how big the files are please?)
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:29 (nine months ago) link
I paid for the wavs but have only downloaded the mp3s, they're 140-190mb each.
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:34 (nine months ago) link
flacs are 330-460 mb. don't think you can download individually actually so 700mb for all mp3s, 2.7gb for flacs.
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:37 (nine months ago) link
doesn't releasing these things usually signal they're gonna drop new material soon

My order for the 2022 sets arrived with a link to download the 2016/8 sets, which I have previously bought. I don't think I could have put that in my cart by accident because I didn't visit the release page for that set. Hoping they will sort it out for me.

Starting with Milan (eventually I will buy the set but for now just luxuriating in a stream)
