But in their interviews Autechre always very clearly communicate that their albums are always where they are at that point, and that their live sets are not necessarily related to their releases.<br /><br />When most musicians just tweak the margins of their signature motifs every release it's cool to follow the Autechre journey and not get too upset that their not doing heavy fucked up beats or that they are doing heavy fucked up beats... which are the two polar positions the critics seem to take. It seems to me that both those positions express conservative nostalgia.noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099372953505213265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-14756472417789691312010-04-10T03:52:19.906+10:002010-04-10T03:52:19.906+10:00mhh. i saw them 2001 ir something in berlin wmf an...mhh. i saw them 2001 ir something in berlin wmf and its was horrible for me. not danceable. unstatic sounds i cant feel any deepness, missing the trance feeling you know, the african bongo rhythm ;)<br /><br />my award goes to mr hoesen.<br /><br />and if you dont know the britsh boy called dfrnt <br />ceck his album or the new unbelievable release http://www.discogs.com/DFRNT-Saturation-Point/release/2220086<br /><br />deep dub dark!anonymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01035018505777381702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-49698072990374346922010-04-09T22:57:54.728+10:002010-04-09T22:57:54.728+10:00Nobody on the planet make music like Autechre do, ...Nobody on the planet make music like Autechre do, their inventivness, experimentation and heterogeneity is unparalleled.Chris Seddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07046126494759450134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-67219613917690090472010-04-09T19:39:35.400+10:002010-04-09T19:39:35.400+10:00Loving this album.

I probably wou...I haven't heard the new Ae yet. I probably would have not even considered listening to it were it not for the fact that many (disparate) folks are saying it's quite good. Ae were a shining light to me for several years starting around 1995, but I had to wave goodbye to them a few years ago.<br /><br />I actually liked Confield, but since then, I've just felt like they were resting on their laurels...well, no, worse. When I saw them on the Untilted tour, I was offended. I left after 30 minutes and loudly booed them on my way out. It hurt. They were playing standard 4/4 beats from what sounded like a miswired 606. They added a new sound every 30 seconds or dropped one out, and the crowd went nuts each time. It reminded me of candy ravers in the early '90s, whooping and blowing on whistles each time the DJ dropped an air raid siren.<br /><br />I was embarrassed for them, and I can't blame them for the quality of the crowd, but they actually seemed into it. What happened to Messrs Booth/Brown, I wondered. Didn't they care anymore? The Ae I grew up loving would have seen that reaction from those miserable chumps and broken out some 13/4 oddities, or just slowed things down to 30bpm time-stretched hellish noise. Instead, fucking 1999 snarerushes?<br /><br />Sorry, I'm bitter and sad. So many people have said this new album has melody and soul and defies expectations, and shows the Ae of old. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't want them to grow (I love Confield/lp5 as much as I love Incunabula), I just want their aggressive attitude towards innovation back.<br /><br />Ok, fine, I've ordered it.micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458279440849280138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-2672911863284900252010-04-09T11:06:13.814+10:002010-04-09T11:06:13.814+10:00seconded on that web mix, it was hours of awesome!...seconded on that web mix, it was hours of awesome! looking forward to the album.daragh99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06376195624456291966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-30781959247124380812010-04-09T01:22:46.610+10:002010-04-09T01:22:46.610+10:00Shouldn't it be a gldn ssg?
