Autechre is the name of the genre and the music can best be described as Autechre

Autechre is more squelchy than anything

xp
otm :)
i am looking forward to the more approachable length of the new one. i do very much support their (seeming) goal of wanting to design the ultimate quasi-generative, ever-changing infinite music machine, and the inevitable consolidation of the known universe into Autechre. Autechre contains multitudes.
but yes, at the same time i do enjoy sitting down with an album and listening from the first bleep to the last blorp
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:19 (three years ago) link
yeah Autechre albums take a bunch of listens to really wrap your head around anyway, with something like NTS Sessions or even elseq it's less "is the music good" and more "do I even have the time to get into this"
― frogbs, Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:22 (three years ago) link
What if this is Autechre... having sobered up and going back to basics?! o_O
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link
this may be sacrilege but I think both those releases could've been edited down to a similar length as Exai and probably would've been better for it
― frogbs, Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link
Not sure if they'd be better, there is so much on NTS and Elseq I'd not want to lose... But yeah I'm all up for a 'normal length' Autechre album. See how they leave their 'mark' after their long excursions.

the use of the shape from the one-six sets makes me slightly nervous as they mostly left me cold, aside from a couple of short sections of awesomeness.
― neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 3 September 2020 18:31 (three years ago) link
> Looking again at the cover, it's the two ae shapes twice - they are repeated, smaller, in light orange and white

I like how earnest this guy is and how he grows more effusive and animated as the countdown progresses and he starts talking about his favorite albums
don't agree with the rankings though
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 6 September 2020 16:27 (three years ago) link
He's not the most compelling presenter and I'm just waiting to hear him say "sonic cathedral of sound"; however I might just revisit their entire discography to hear some of the things he picks out, especially in tracks i'm not so keen on.

let those who have never mispronounced an autechre title cast the first stone
if anything bugs me about the video its the overuse of certain meaningless adjectives ("shimmering" comes to mind)
― Paul Ponzi, Monday, 7 September 2020 11:30 (three years ago) link
only caught the first few minutes of the video(too late, tired), but he mentioned both the Melbourne and Dublin sets from 2018, which sound markedly different / more developed and fleshed out, compared to the rest of the 2016 "onesix" material. Those two are definite highlights of the most recent live material, the Melbourne one in particular. There's an unofficial live (audience) recording of a show in Tasmania (on youtube) from around the same time which is v similar to those two official digital releases. The material is more rhythmic and percussive than the bulk of the aerlier "onesix" versions. It's good. Hoping the new album is nothing like the NTS / live material of late.
― Lowell N. Behold'n, Monday, 7 September 2020 13:54 (three years ago) link
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
― Leighton Buzzword (dog latin), Monday, 7 September 2020 14:01 (three years ago) link
woohoo!and I was at the Tasmania show, it was pretty baffling to the casuals but a great thing to be inside of

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
― assert (MatthewK), Wednesday, 9 September 2020 22:12 (three years ago) link
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!)
― Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 23:26 (three years ago) link
yep its on slsk but I'm gonna be good and wait for the record to arrive
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 September 2020 02:29 (three years ago) link
I mean its probably a fake but still
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 September 2020 02:34 (three years ago) link
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
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 10 September 2020 09:11 (three years ago) link
yeah fake Ae leaks are sort of a tradition
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:30 (three years ago) link
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.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:35 (three years ago) link
Ah yes, I recall lolling at Madonna's looped "what the fuck do you think you're doing?"
― neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:40 (three years ago) link
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
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:42 (three years ago) link
lol
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:42 (three years ago) link
The leak of Built to Spill's You In Reverse had "WHO IS MIKE JONES" tags like every 30 seconds, was hilarious
― J. Sam, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:48 (three years ago) link
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
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:59 (three years ago) link
Didn't Akron/Family also do something like that at some point?

But yeah you’d have to pay shipping
Still
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 September 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link
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.
― octobeard, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:04 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I'll buy a physical CD of this, but not direct from them.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Friday, 11 September 2020 01:24 (three years ago) link
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).
