Yeah I can see that. In retrospect I'm not as keen on those "orchestral" tracks, but they would work really well played on live instruments

Man, listening back to this album is giving me... there must be a weird German word for the type of trauma-nostalgia that comes with being suddenly reminded of living in the lockdown era

It looks like there’s …. Something out on August 10?!?
But I can’t tell if it’s a new live album or tickets to new tour dates or what

I think it's 2022 live recordings
― frogbs, Tuesday, 8 August 2023 17:03 (eight months ago) link
It’s live albums

Thanks. The link in the AE email I received didn’t offer any clarity.

(By which I mean, probably ridiculously, resolving for me that maybe, just maybe, CD versions of these live sets might be available instead of digital files)

*feverishly hits refresh*
i actually dreamt last night that this was out, alongside an announcement of a new album called nononononono, and a remix of a pavement live concert!
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:04 (eight months ago) link
this came this morning. but i'm not quite sure what it is. the track listing includes "autechre - jnsn code gl16 - remixed by YAGE"
https://touched.bandcamp.com/merch/fsoldigital-presents-mind-maps-4-limited-cd
touched are interesting - they did those three cancer charity compilations on consecutive christmasses, the last of which had ~256 tracks in it. there were also a few compilations of anonymous tracks some of which are probably autechre (the track titles are a clue). the mind maps thing though, is physical only, no digital.
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:17 (eight months ago) link
(by "i'm not quite sure what it is" i mean is it a compilation of YAGE remixes (although 3 aren't marked as remixes) or a mix cd or somewhere between the two. it also features humanoid, isan, fsol, scanner...)
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:20 (eight months ago) link
here's the original of that ae track - https://touched.bandcamp.com/album/jnsn-code-gl16-spl47

FSOLs mind map mix series is amazing fwiw. Can't wait to check this new one
― octobeard, Thursday, 10 August 2023 08:59 (eight months ago) link
(actually the orignals of those two autechre tracks on that 12" were the 2nd and 3rd touched compilations, which had 254 and 417 tracks respectively)

so Ae and Actress are playing in Sydney in two weeks, and I will be there, but a dinner had been organised preventing me from going. I found out today the dinner has been moved to the following night. And of course the show is sold out now.

Interesting that suddenly all the live Autechre records of the last few years are no longer on Apple Music.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:00 (eight months ago) link
they're still on spotify (uk), gathered under two albums now (14-15 and 16-18 sets).
still furiously refreshing ae_store.
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:23 (eight months ago) link
up now (under ae_live). download only (no cd).
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:56 (eight months ago) link
it wouldn't let me download the big set of live releases (got a refund) but now they've added the ones i already have and bumped the price up so i'm slightly reluctant to retry. i will get around to 16-18 eventually.
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:57 (eight months ago) link
(actually, looking now, the price has dropped £11 (iirc) for the big set)
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 13:59 (eight months ago) link
so all their 2022 shows except Primavera ( https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=autechre+2022 <- doesn't have Milan listed at the moment)
― StanM, Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:14 (eight months ago) link
(can someone let me know how big the files are please?)
― koogs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:29 (eight months ago) link
I paid for the wavs but have only downloaded the mp3s, they're 140-190mb each.
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:34 (eight months ago) link
flacs are 330-460 mb. don't think you can download individually actually so 700mb for all mp3s, 2.7gb for flacs.
― crutch of england (ledge), Thursday, 10 August 2023 14:37 (eight months ago) link
doesn't releasing these things usually signal they're gonna drop new material soon
― frogbs, Thursday, 10 August 2023 21:16 (eight months ago) link
I sure hope so
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 10 August 2023 21:19 (eight months ago) link
My order for the 2022 sets arrived with a link to download the 2016/8 sets, which I have previously bought. I don't think I could have put that in my cart by accident because I didn't visit the release page for that set. Hoping they will sort it out for me.
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 11 August 2023 07:36 (eight months ago) link
Starting with Milan (eventually I will buy the set but for now just luxuriating in a stream)

got a ticket for the Sydney show on late release, row 3 so in the pitch dark I will be able to hear them move sliders and clear their throats

I need some time alone in a dark room to fully appreciate these.

I don't know why but I cannot get myself excited about live Ae recordings... Maybe I should change that

Same, and I love Ae more than life itself
― Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 11:31 (eight months ago) link
maybe try the Athens one, they seemed to shake off the abstract urge a little there.
― assert (matttkkkk), Tuesday, 15 August 2023 11:58 (eight months ago) link
Same, I've never checked out an AE live recording.
Thought this was an interesting comment:
Also, I've noticed less interaction between elements in these sets. I can hear separate machines/layers running more or less independently of each other. I feel like their older material had more cross-modulation and interaction between sounds. (Which I prefer.)— William Fields (@williamfieldsy) August 14, 2023

I love Ae, but I think they broke my brain with the NTS Sessions. That was like my capacity point; anything else that gets poured into the full bucket just spills right back out again.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 14:03 (eight months ago) link
Yeah, I haven't really been able to get excited about being tasked to find the August 27, 1972 Veneta, Oregon "Dark Star" in 42 different versions of "c16 deep tread"
― sean paul akerman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 15 August 2023 17:42 (eight months ago) link
or whatever
I'm sure if Ae released like 3 live albums instead of 3 FLAC datadumps I would at least have listened to even one of them by now
― sean paul akerman (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 15 August 2023 17:43 (eight months ago) link
Well I've listened to them all. Because I am a grown adult.

if you've listened to 42 Autechre live albums instead of just trying to do an ad hom dunk, please tell us about it

aaanyway for those who’ve not listened to live sets, they can be hard work to listen to in bulk, but for $20 it’s great to have several versions of 2 types of set, so you can listen again and it’s fresh. For those who haven’t heard any live Ae, the Glasgow Arts School 2005 and Coachella 1999 are fairly easily found and rank with their released albums for me. The live dumps are also enjoyable but not as much, I find, probably 2015 more appealing?
