Autechre: Classic or Dud?

search: LP5

as for "inventive," well, the IDM list be damned, they pretty much defined how IDM has sounded for the past 4 years or so by dint of every semi-talented derivative jacking their style (phoenicia, entire schematics roster, everything i've heard on musik aus strom, especially the horribly derivative but not even close to the mark flagship duo funkstorung, etc, etc). their fault or their misfortune, you be the judge.

but in the last 6 months i've begun to change my mind, and i'm beginning to really love some of what they do (most of LP5, a lot of Chiastic Slide, and Clichi Suite are beautiful records i think).

it seems strange that it too such a long time for me to really like them, but then i did that with piano magic, happy mondays and tom waits too, and i love 90% of all their stuff too.

got tri repetae recently, but having difficulty getting into that one so far.

saw them at Brixton Fridge the other week, and they were excellent. every track seems to start off so uninviting, but gradually becomes wonderful

so, i think i'd head towards classic really

So there you have it: we're the new folkies! :) Let's all grow beards.

ooh, they've split the EP7s across two discs. Bad show.

(closes eyes, mutters 'i do not need or want expensive box-sets, i do not need or want expensive box sets...')

('I have all these tracks already, i have all these tracks already')

Seems a little odd not to include the Seefeel or Beaumont Hannant mixes of Basscadet, but maybe that can be justified. Putting "Anvil Vapre" before "Garbage" seems like flat-out bad sequencing.

?

ah, my mistake!

This is disappointing. At least include all vinyl-only tracks, not only Cavity Job.

I don't feel this is worth the double-dip.

Sorry boothbrown, I already have all the original releases.

only own the Anti EP but not sure what I would do with this package - EP collections on several CDs just seem so impractical

OTM.

Better to have the original Anti and break the seal on it to show what bollicks the Criminal Justice Thingy is.

I couldn't decide which C or D thread to pick so I made a new one

Autechre Exai

classic

track at 18:00 is pretty sick

that whole video is rad, oh man that brings back memories, esp. the whistles and the whole dudes-with-long-fringe-swept-back-w-headbands thing, damn haven't seen that look in a minute

woohoo!
and I was at the Tasmania show, it was pretty baffling to the casuals but a great thing to be inside of

okay, i can't hold it in any longer, but i've heard it now and all i can tell you is that it is indeed quite different to NTS

tease!

hey dog latin would you characterise "different" as "interesting new take" or "what the actual fuck this can't be the new record"? asking for a friend

I've heard whispers that this has leaked but as I treat new Ae albums like a Latin Mass on Christmas Day and also because I fear potential fakery, I will be waiting patiently (but I certainly don't mind a few spoilers here, should there be any!)

yep its on slsk but I'm gonna be good and wait for the record to arrive

I mean its probably a fake but still

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!

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:

https://www.vod-records.com/-1-432-700.htm

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
