    Pick any avant-garde or experimental act you dont get/you dont like.

    The reason people dont like AE are probably similar to why you dont like this act.

    For example can you go through the full length of this? ( i cant)

     

    Yeah that's a good point, tbf doesn't even have to be Avant Garde. I mean Opera isn't necessarily avant garde but it sure ain't for everyone.

    I bet there's Opera forums where they're like "Why is Opera so difficult to like?"

  2. What I think I was trying to say was:

    They're just not for everyone, and that's fine. Not in an elitist or clever clever way, they just aren't.

    And, i think they are also pretty far ahead of their time. When Miles Davis released On The Corner, it was widely hated, even (especially?) by people who were into jazz. Now, nearly 50 years later it's generally regarded as classic by people who are into music. But still the vast majority of people, probably even the majority of music fans, won't have heard it or like it - even though it's great, it's still not for everyone.

  3. They have a very high bar of entry. I'm glad I got into them when I did, cos if I looked at them now I would be overwhelmed and that would just be by the size of the discography, let alone the relatively impenetrable music. Generally if I talk to people about them, I'll be like they're incredible/incomparable to anyone else/etc, maybe I'll talk about "the autechre effect"/click that I'm p sure everyone here can relate to, then I'll be like, but seriously, don't bother - by all means check them out, but I won't be offended if you are like wtf is this shit.

    Incredible to have Ae remix this classic! Thx!!!!!

    How about getting them to do a whole album remixing classics like these :-)

    Imagine. A whole album of ae remixing techno/electro/and acid classics. Damn.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there was already a load of unreleased material along these lines in the vaults.

    ah no i first listened to it in April 2019 haha its just that since then ive liked it but it never fully clicked with me

    I had that fairly recently with Quaristice (I say that, it was before the first lockdown so probably like 3 years ago...time goes fast with kids). Always liked it but one day out walking and listening it was like I'd never heard it before. The autechre effect.

    Just a grizzled old stoner opinion, but whatever you can/could get out of already-been-vaped product isn't gonna be worth the time and effort expended.  Of course eating it requires neither so have at it, mmm!

    Special FWP crossover post: Just cleaned my glass pipe yesterday and it was disgusting with salsa sludge.  Letting it soak overnight in rubbing alcohol is essential, but even then it's still getting hands-on with stuff that's sticky AF and smells godawful.  It'd be a shame if my pipe has an "accident" right before I have to clean it again...

    My mate stuck it all in a jar with coconut butter. Spread on toast it definitely worked. Possibly too well.

    basically tracks the main points of SOPHIE's career with some interesting tidbits sprinkled throughout, bookended by BIPP ofc. don't think i'd ever heard that Vince Staples track. shit's fuckin massive.

    There's a couple of SOPHIE beats on that album, both are bangers.

    How can u make music with a minidisc? ?

    It's cos there's no time between tracks, so say you cut up a break into separate tracks, then shuffle, it will play them concurrently. I think. That was (somewhat, although Seam says it has a flow when played in the standard way) the idea behind the Gescom Minidisc release.

    Around the 8min mark in this interview he says Pen Expers was made with a minidisc and pausing a DMX drum machine:

    This is amazing. Some real work has gone into that! I recall reading there was a similar thing done for onesix - does anyone know if there is or is it the Mandela effect?

    1. He was releasing only for a couple of years and on Rephlex which didn't seem like a gateway to having a subforum here in practice.

    2. Why the thread should be longer though, there was nothing until now. The Polyend tracker discussion happened elsewhere (EKT section).

    3. I'm here at least once a day. Can't speak for others, they probably do some stupid shit

    Eh they were more rhetorical questions

  13. Seagrave is killing it at the mo. More Planet mu than Rephlex, especially cos Mike P has released stuff there and Echoplex too. But lot of really good stuff, Fear Ratio and ZNS have put stuff out there recently too.

    All the major DAWs, yes, all of them, use western tuning systems and have no provisions at all for using different ones. To the people who make them the 90% of the world that doesn’t use these tuning systems simply don’t exist. By itself that may not be oppression but it’s certainly a symptom of an extremely unequal world.

    I read (in The Wire I think, long time back) that Terry Riley liked Logic because he could use different tuning systems.
