I'd expect Montreal to place. There's one I like more on Amber that hasn't shown up yet though.
Don't really have much sense of the general popularity of Autechre tracks, personal faves could be sleepers, or not.

don't even care that the track gets lost in fog towards the end. that's the whole point. it's the journey whence you may not return, the vast coldness of doom
and the beat-drop at 4 mins that triggers it all....no words

vi scose poise....idk. i voted for it but i just get the feeling it won't

even i voted for it.
Surripere is great - i can't say i've really listened to it.

ok i'm just going to do this now in lieu of what will probably be a bunch of tracks they did before lp5 placing, and since this countdown is happening so slowly and sporadically or else i'm just being impatient (thanks for all your work everyone!). what they managed to do texturally with electronic sound machines is just extraordinary, before iirc a lot more of their production chain became dependent on desktop environments of the time and they were more free to get trickier with their sequencing. the quality of the sound on those releases is just incredibly funky in a way i've never been able to articulate properly. obviously they've always been very good and interesting at composition and arrangement but in my opinion there was a special magic that coalesced around the 93-97 era when their talents for arrangement and sound design melded with a tradition that incorporated what kraftwerk and disco a generation before and techno contemporaneously knew about very basic properties of rhythm, tempo, funk, limbic movement aligned with heartbeats. the space that can be created from that kind of pulse is the reason i love dance music and electronic music and what makes some of their tracks, again mainly from that era, so timeless. it has been a pleasant surprise to return to recent releases and find they never completely lost that magic.

I forget if that's cued to the exact track for Iceland that "Surripere" sounds so much like.

great post, matt - will have it in mind when listening to their earlier stuff in future :)

don't think it will place, but "outpt" off ep7 really affects with the repetition and that reedy, sort of woody modem chord-drone. and its unnameable sorts of liquid sky/sucking/light sounds.. maybe one of their "easier" tracks
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Thursday, 2 October 2014 22:08 (nine years ago) link
autechre were always great but they attained sublimity when they largely concealed that syncopated/crunchy sound of the mid 90s and went further into granular synthesis and the excessive, abstracted process music of confied/draft/gg
― C21H23NO5 (nakhchivan), Thursday, 2 October 2014 22:13 (nine years ago) link
yeah that's my position too, but hearing some of the (admittedly mostly not much) earlier stuff & really being taken along with it has been a total thrill, this evening especially
― Ƹ༑Ʒ (imago), Thursday, 2 October 2014 22:14 (nine years ago) link
surripere is one of the least 'difficult' of those tracks but it has an extreme dysphoric quality above just about anything they did
― C21H23NO5 (nakhchivan), Thursday, 2 October 2014 22:16 (nine years ago) link
voted it really high obv
yah it's rly synaesthetic

yeah i noted your case for the 90s stuff upthread and 'being there' probably counts for a lotconfield was probably the first thing of theirs i heard, envane sounds like an artifact

been feeling like an artifact myself lately, a lot

at least that means u are digital rather than analogue

I had a clear top 4 from lp5, decided to pick two and it was more or less at random, under boac lost out but the drum breakdown is next level unfuckwithable.
Woah leee giving a bit of zing to my cipater image. From look back in anger, well if an anticipater looks forward... Surripere is some Latin conjugation of steal, image is from Whistle and I'll Come to You, Michael Hordern suffering the consequences of his inadvertent theft. Fyi.

anticipate means 'act before' so a cipater is one who merely acts, but then look back in anger is a play ;)

that surripere image is greatgantz is just perfect, just a total immersion, into the voidits the sort of track even bobby gillespie could understand

When I added the text to the original image you gave me, the palette got confused and was saved with the Miami Vice colors. Dawned on me that preserving the interesting glitch would be well in keeping with the poll.

as someone who likes to revive really terrible ancient ilx threads from time to time, i must say that most of the early refs to confield and gantz get it fairly well, including dj martian who included confield in his top 250 records of the first half of 2001
