Hmmmmm..... Autechre is so hit or miss....

 

[hym]

I love me some Autechre, about the only music for which I regret not hearing much beyond 18 kHz.

FIRST ONE HOUR AND FIFTY NINE MINUTES IS SILENCE AMIRITE

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Hmmmmm..... Autechre is so hit or miss....

Same for me. I'm glad i've had the heads up on the new album though.
I'm quite interested now i know.

 

[krYlon]

They always seem to hit for me. But certainly I understand not all of their music is for everyone.

 

[winter]

Can't wait. The absolute greatest IDM artist ever. Better than aphex twin, square pusher, boards of Canada, etc...

FIRST ONE HOUR AND FIFTY NINE MINUTES IS SILENCE AMIRITE

You mean glitchy noise

My excitement level is dependent on which autechre I'm getting. Confield autechre would please me.

If it wasn't $45 I'd be all on it... But I just paid nearly $70 to pre-order the new Atoms For Peace "limited edition". I feel like these special/limited/deluxe editions are getting absurd. I'd rather they just put more effort into making something creative, but in a simpler and cheaper LP cover.

You don't think Quarstice and Oversteps delivered a bit of both?

I personally enjoy them more from an engineering standpoint so I don't mind when it goes deeply experimental while my favourite track of them remains very down to earth, fermium (untilted).

This is 4 LPs though. So the price seems pretty fair.

They never really sat with me well. they had their moments but there was a specific kind of meatiness in confield that I dug. Felt kind of like an update of tri repetae vs say lp5

 

[krYlon]

It's always interesting to me how different people have such varying views of their albums.

Most seem to think Confield is their most difficult album. I'd say Oversteps is closer to Tri Repetae.

 

[Stet]

Not sure if want. Nothing Records Autechre is so good, but bad Autechre...

Well I like oval and other odd things so confield was right at home.

 

[8bit]

Another lovely looking TDR sleeve, instant pre-order.

 

[Salmonax]

Yeah, that's where I was bucked off the horse and never got back on, in spite of their earlier stuff basically defining the 90s for me. I should probably check out their more recent stuff.

You should check out Oversteps definitely!

 

[RSTEIN]

New Burial! New Autechre!


WHERE ARE YOU RICHARD???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[genjiZERO]

This is 4 LPs though. So the price seems pretty fair.

True enough. I think I'm going to have to wait and check it out before I pick up the LP though. I've found that these special editions are pretty easy to come by after release. Thanks for the heads up though. With this and the Burial thread glad to know there are people on GAF with great taste in music!

 

[krYlon]

WHERE ARE YOU RICHARD???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I'm sure he's making plenty of stuff. He just won't release it.

 

[Oppo]

That package art is hot. Is it really Designer's Republic? Sure looks like it.

Made me wistful for Wipeout. Then I remembered Studio Liverpool. Then I was sad.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I'm sure he's making plenty of stuff. He just won't release it.

He probably has a few terabytes of unreleased stuff as well.

 

[8bit]

Oooh, I hope there's another webcast. The 12 hour Oversteps one is still an awesome listen.

 

[krYlon]

With this and the Burial thread glad to know there are people on GAF with great taste in music!

Yep! Pleasantly surprised to see this many replies.

 

[Poimandres]

Can't wait. The absolute greatest IDM artist ever. Better than aphex twin, square pusher, boards of Canada, etc...

Autechre aren't just my favourite IDM artists, they are my favourite electronic music producers in general!

Very excited for the new album. A double disc is a pleasant surprise.

There are quite a few Autechre fans on GAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433760&highlight=autechre

 

[Fried Food]

Can't wait. It's not every artist that you can say you have no idea what a new record will sound like.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

Just lit the umop signal.

Lol seriously. I was just thinking a week or so ago that they were due for a new release. Oversteps and Move of Ten were so good.

Autechre aren't just my favourite IDM artists, they are my favourite electronic music producers in general!

They get first place in general with me almost entirely because I can't get sick of their work, even though I listen to it so much that I should be sick of it by now.

 

[Kraftwerk]

nice! Really looking forwrd to this.

 

[panda21]

hope this one gets an early digital release like some other warp albums have. that surprise email is so good...

 

[Poimandres]

One of the tracks from the new album "spl9" was played in a radio mix a week or so back.

Someone has ripped it down and posted on Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/miblodelcarpio/autechre-spl9

I like it! It reminds me a lot of their live sets.

 

[krYlon]

I like it, I like it a lot.

This sounds more like the direction I expected them to take after Untilted.

 

[Peru]

I'm so glad they're going for longer (or regular length) tracks. The snippet style was a nice experiment but of their recent albums the ones I love are the albums where the tracks take their time to jam properly, like 'Untilted'.

 

[Jake.]

yeah, it really depends on what 'type' of autechre they are for this record - it'll either be amazing or a snoozefest.

 

[DataStream]

I'm quite excited. Confield is my favorite album of all time, but I'm hoping this is them rocking it out as opposed to outer space.

 

[Esch]

Any Autechre is dope.

 

[revolverjgw]

I don't feel like I deserve two hours of Autechre. This is too awesome. Love the longer tracks that slowly develop and morph over time.

 

[Gravijah]

Sorry for bumping, but hollllly crap I just came to GAF to make a thread about this as I totally missed the news a few weeks back and just heard.

MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD. MY EXCITEMENT CANNOT BE CONTAINED!

 

[Fried Food]

guy on WATMM claims to have a preview copy, is giving impressions.

 

[krYlon]

Yeah, some promising impressions if true.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Super exited!

 

[NonexistentK]

autechre digg klub reprazent, full isamu where are my sedatives mode activated, countdown to decoding ill algorithm

 

[jono95]

I'm excited because I don't know what it's going to sound like.
But for that very same reason I can't get too excited.
Oh Autechre.

 

[panda21]

Arrgh, my Vinyl pre-order isn't with Bleep. Arrrrrrrghghgh.

Thank you Based AE!

I'm having problems with the site though. It crashes my browser. Grr. Anyone listen yet? Any good?

 

[krYlon]

Autechre fans have crashed the site. There's too many of us.

I think if you preordered via bleep you can get it from there. You can even get it from itunes.

Very positive impressions from the watmm board so far. I wont get a chance to listen until tonight.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Just got my email but Bleep apparently exploded. I need to dl this now! New Autechre releases need to be worldly celebrations.

 

[krYlon]

Just about everyone on watmm saying this is by far their best album ever. It's like a compilation of everything they've done, but taken to a higher level.

Man, I want to listen to it NOW

 

[jorgeton]

Good lord. It's like the MBV debacle all over again! And I refuse to buy anything off Itunes. I guess I'll just F5 the shit out of Bleep.com until it's back.
