New Autechre album - April 2005
In short: they've been amazing on this tour.

it also boasted the highest male-to-female ratio i've ever seen at a show.

(I'm probably going to anyway... they must be at least semi-classic then)

So not liking the last few albums--or being unfamiliar with them--is almost a moot point.

2005 show last week: absolute 4/4 non-stop dance party, many pieces strict-tempo dj'ed together into one long mix. madly syncopated (seldom straight out four on the floor), but you could tap your foot or dance like a madman at all times. the recent abstract digital sounds of the last three records have been isolated and poured onto the grid, no multiple time-signature experiments. way, way, way more straightforward than untilted, and 100% new material -- absolutely nothing recognizable from any record. No traceable melodies, but tons of layered ambient sections and crescendos. once again, my attention wandered a bit in parts, but the end was rewarding and I sure hope mp3's turn up of this show, or even a release.
still doesn't quite sound like anything they've done before, but definitely way closer to 95/96 than 01/04. liked it.

I was at this show (dragged there by a girl in spite of whatever ratios). I'm not really a fan, I also like confield but haven't been impressed by the last couple albums and don't really care for most "melodic" autechre. But yes this show was a bit different. The focus on hard hitting syncopation was a minor revelation, the timbres of "Drop it like it's Hot" splintering at almost drum and bass tempo without losing a rhythmic anchor (some moments were rather "twitchy droid leg"/graphic offshore style). Tiring a bit what w/ one austere slab after another, but a good deal more than I had anticipated.
One problem was that nearly everybody insisted upon standing around in the dark to watch a couple of guys you couldn't even see. What little dancing there was ranged from antithetical drunken swaying to pillow fight against myself "madman" stuff. Very little rhythm-to-body connectivity but the possibility was there, it wasn't all just twiddly bullshit.
