Hello all!
Do we have any music journalists / bloggers / interviewers, etc., who would be interested in checking out our new album (Tescon Pol - The Longer Morrow digital & limited CD run), which is coming out via Concrete Collage Records on September 27th? If so, we'd love to get a hidden link, press release, and whatnot in front of you via email.

Good to know. There's an online shop here that has those remasters for not too much of an obscene price so I think I'm definitely going to get those.
I haven't heard those - thanks for the heads up, will look those up as well!
For sure! I also really love the collaborations with Anne James Chaton. Both on the Uni series and the Alphabet album, which plays more or less like an appendix to Uni.

It's worth the time. Don't forget to check out the collab albums he did, like the VIRUS series with Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Opto albums with Opiate, and of course the cyclo. project with Ryoji Ikeda. He also did something with Blixa Bargeld of all people but I still haven't heard it. </nerd>
Mimikry and Bernsteinzimmer are two of my favorite tracks from either AN or BB...and that's certainly saying something.

Up until the release of Exai, EP7 was usually what I settled on as my "favorite" Autechre (whenever I thought that it was necessary to decide that), although Confield and LP5 were close behind, and I still think that the first three tracks of Tri Repetae constitute 20 of the most iconic minutes in electronic music. But yeah, EP7 is one of the highest peaks in Ae's topography.

Ah. I do remember something about "luxury sound," which was obnoxious.

Is this music now inspired by the world of poverty and hunger?
Im waiting for that one

it's definitely gotten a lot friendlier over the years, probably because most of us are all middle aged and I guess more mature now. I remember back in the early 00's it was pretty wild and hostile. there were some epic flame wars that went on in here amongst some pretty insane yet hilarious posters.
Niceness is good, not overrated, but maybe we should bring just a smidge of that back. I still want to lash out whenever someone replies to (and thus continues the life of) the "Need some good music like Autechre" thread. It's mostly the conflation of (or suggested similarity between) Autechre & Chris Clark as well as the "NOT looking for something with vocals" bit that get me.

Yeah I don't want to throw shit on the guys ofc.. Just a crazy fan that always wants more AE!
Well sometimes Im a bit curios about the process of these soundboards. Remember when it all went wrong for them in Finland?
That particular soundboard went up pretty fast after the gig.. I don't remember how many days/weeks but it went up.
I wonder how many of the 2023-2024 sets they have finished mastered.
Maybe Warp is messing things up.. I blame Warp for everything now!I kind of suspect they're just spacing things out rather than anything's having been messed up. If they drop the 2023 & first half of 2024 sets in August, a year out from the 2022 drop, that would seem sensible.
Remember that a lot fans basically complained that elseq, NTS, AE_LIVE, etc., were too monumental, imposing, overwhelming, indigestible, etc., at their scale / length. I didn't feel this way at all, and I doubt that you did, but it was a pretty common view.
My appetite for new Autechre also wasn't really satiated by the initial "2022-" drop, but that's mostly because I wasn't super-enthralled by the material contained in the initial sets. It, in a way that I don't think any Autechre has before, kind of made me feel on edge or accentuated an already anxiety-laden stretch of existence for me. I think it's really interesting, and I'm glad we have it, but I doubt that it will ever be top-tier Ae for me. Some of the newer sets, on the other hand, are hitting really nicely.

Last Soundboard recording we got was the Live sets from 2022, Fucking hell that was long time ago!
The recordings were from 2022, but their release was less than a year ago, August 10th of 2023. So it's really not been what I would call a long time.
That said, there is quite a bit more diversity in what they've been doing live since, so the 2023 + 2024 soundboards would go a long way. With the next live dates beginning at the very end of September, I kind of suspect that we'll get everything performed thus far at some point this summer or heading into the next round of shows.

Are there any downloadable versions of the Lyon set hanging out somewhere? Possibly mastered? It's possibly tied with the Hague for my current favorite.

@djimbe It's one of those gut-wrenchingly sad and beautiful ae tracks. Definitely way up there in my personal ae favs as well. The progression never fails to amaze me. Sound design is unique and incredible. Masterful track.
I don't find it sad at all. To me, it's a bit stoic, maybe, but very focused and quite badass. If it's from the point of view of a protagonist, it feels like something difficult is getting figured out.

To me the open question is this: are we losing something important when a huge amount of human expression which is already going unnoticed and unappreciated loses the ability to get paid for? My gut feel is that we wouldn't be losing autechre, and a lot of us on watmm are making music without any expectation or need for money in exchange for what we make anyway.
I agree with everything you've said above this point. I also agree that we won't be losing Autechre, and that's something that I'm grateful for. I absolutely don't make music with monetary considerations in mind, but I do want my music to be heard. I don't need to earn a cent from it, but I want people to hear it. I want to try to share something, and I hope that I'm conveying something kind of similar to what I'm trying to convey. It's always bothered me (just a little) that I can't make other people hear a track in black and red (or whatever), but I hope that I can communicate something even slightly specific. I don't want to be lost in a flood of AI sound; it's already difficult enough to be noticed with as much genuinely great electronic music as there is in our time.

I'm spending much too much time on Reddit and Facebook "fighting" with people who don't seem to understand that music and art are not just pretty things to enjoy but the results of others' desires to communicate or convey something. I keep telling myself that I'm just going to ignore AI-related posts and that anyone who doesn't get it or doesn't feel similarly to how I feel isn't going to have an epiphany based on what some internet stranger has to say. But the Udio-bolstered uptick in interest / sharing is difficult to let slide.

A new single, Mercy, dropped today along with the announcement that an album is coming on May 31st which will apparently contain Muder One & Invasion as well, meaning that it likely is more of a compilation of unreleased material (as those two pieces, released in early 2022, were recorded 15-to-20 years apart). Mercy is maybe a little less adventuresome from an electronic music perspective than most of Vega's later work, and it's unclear when it's from precisely. I'm guessing mid 90s based on the vocal styling, but we'll see.

I think that Brussels is my favorite.
Rennes & The Hague are tied-ish.

I guess they should have consulted you before they remained alive, continuing to dynamically contribute to their singular oeuvre that brightens so many people's lives.

This is a great recording of what, so far, is a favorite among these "2022- " sets. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, this is the kind of news I've been hoping for. Didn't spot that initially.

Stumbled upon this and was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't a clickbait DAW tutorial or self-congratulation from some producer-minded person who doesn't get it:

I think Dead Son is probably my favorite of the aughts-onward material (along with the Big Noise Transmission live companion piece). I will say about Berserker and The Fury that they are both probably a bit of an acquired taste (for the aforementioned reasons of dated 80s funk elements & diva-like vocal accompaniment. But I think they're worth checking out. Speaking of compilations, Cleopatra (yeah, I know) put out a thing called "Remodulate" in the 90s that has some of the more readily digestible material from the mid-80s + Sacrifice (as it was also able to be licensed from Numa Records) and a second CD of live versions of tracks from the BB era.
Are there music journalists in the house?

Ah, thanks for the reminder; we're just using social media sites at the moment. We do have a copy in front of Pietro @ Igloomag, always great! Thanks again!
