  1. For this reason I wish they'd get invited to one of the small UK summer festivals like Noisily.
  2. Also, > implying Baby D isn't awesome
  3. I was an indie kid in the late 90's until Unkle's Psyence Fiction single-handedly turned me on to electronic music. Got into Aphex when Windowlicker was being hammered on the radio, and started buying a load of Warp stuff. I think the first Autechre track I heard was their Nightmares on Wax remix on the Warp 10th anniversary remix album. Didn't like it but nevertheless bought Amber on the strength of its cover art and became obsessed with it. Over time I lost interest in the other Warp artists (I buy more psytrance than anything else these days) but Autechre just keep getting better and better the more I listen to them.
  4. It describes them as equal temperament on the Ovuca site. My dickishness aside though, Aleksi's scales sound much better than their ET equivalents.
  5. Apart from the first one, those scales on his site aren't equal temperament. Equal temperament means that the ratios between any two successive frequencies are the same. So e.g. 2TET would have frequencies 33, 33*sqrt(2), 66, 66*sqrt(2) and so on. In general an nTET scale has frequencies of the form f*2^(p/n) with fixed f and integer p. The scales Aleksi gives have frequencies of the form f*2^q*(1 + p/n) with fixed f, integer q and integer p in [0, n). Yes, my pedantry got the better of me. Sorry.
  6. Sorry to be that guy, but I'd be able to take all the Colundi-talk more seriously if AP actually understood how equal temperament works.

    I listened to Krakow for the first time on the way to church yesterday. I went through the woods at dusk. It was so foggy I could barely see stuff 20 meters away. MFW:
  8. +1 to everything Brian said.
  9. It's one of my favourites too, IMO the daft noodly first half just makes the ending all the more awesome.

    So has their live set changed much since these were recorded? If not I reckon I'll hold off on listening until after I've seen them in November.

    ^ Your avatar is cool, what is it?
  12. I find Quaristice to be weirdly inconsistent, not in terms of how the quality varies from track to track but in terms of how my reaction to it varies from listen to listen. Sometimes it really clicks with me and I find myself wondering how I never got into it before, then I'll listen again the following day and find it's unclicked again.
  13. kek Also I like the way that there's clearly enough space for four of them on the one sofa, but they've made Rob sit on a different one (presumably because they're weirded out by his one freakishly long arm).
  14. I'm a little surprised that it's humanly possible to play this.
  15. Agreed. The segue into Cap.IV from Dial. is one of my favourite Autechre moments.
