Autechre - classic or dud

this record is a favorite as well

frustratingly, the other records seem to be, uh, like alt rock? which makes this all even weirder

also frustratingly, the laxir fan comp, while absolutely filled with gems, is not everything. it actually leaves out a decent chunk of stuff, despite being long as hell. i think some completionists have compiled even longer ones…

Have they done any in the last 15 or so years?

yeah, tho they’ve slowed it down.

stuff like russell haswell one sounds like modern autechre.

the sophie one isn’t as far out as you might think (want?), kinda like the earth remix.

the earth remix is masterful and amazing

they took a near-perfect song, probably decided not to fuck with it too much because it's already near perfect, then tweaked the production just enough that i can't really listen to the original now if i have a choice because theirs sounds so much better. and i don't really know if i could put into words what they did to it, besides edit a bit to add a refrain, tweak the eq, and add a weird drum sample (brushed cymbal or hi hat played backward?)

actually i'm not even sure if they reversed the drum sample

oh yeah, it’s great! but the first time i put it on, i was def like “wait, huh? this is an autechre remix??”

my fave is the Neu! remix on the splitrmx promo - speed isn't marked so I prefer it at 45, but 33 is good too:

(that title should be "Autechre play Weissensee against Im Glück" btw)

oh and frogbs they did release a remic of SOPHIE's "bipp" last year

Would love to make a list of "surely this is mislabeled, can't be" Autechre remixes

Earth is on there
so is Anodyne

anything else?

I remember the shock of the first one … “I think this might be an unreleased track!” “wait this is another unreleased track!” ”oh my god”

Lol yeah and “surely the next 3 will be DJ sets”

I looked at the NTS schedule and it's programmed as "17:00 - 22:36 AUTECHRE - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - 1992 CONTEXTUAL MIX"

those pals need to add more vocals on their composition to reach a new sonic dimension

I don't necessarily disagree. In my headcanon "Bryan Ferry Sings LP5" is an actual thing. It's never going to happen outside of remixes though. I 100% feel that Plaid ought to go back to doing more vocal collabs

autechre must follow the mouse on mars path: getting an mc like mark e smith

The NTS set is the same set as the Mixlr one from December, for anyone interested.

the description did seem familiar
