  1. As someone who really didn't get into Autechre the first 1000's times I heard tracks, and who is now a massive fan, I think it has to do with the at first seemingly lack of melody in a lot of their music. (Yes, I know it's all there) but that's what I got caught up on for so long. It seemed like there was a severe lack of melody, or good melody anyway. It's there it's just presented in a really strange and obtuse way a lot of the time, especially with their mid to late period stuff, so a lot of their music doesn't lend itself to playing a track for someone who's never listened and making a profound first impression IMO, unless the impression is meant to be brain melting like Gantz Graf or something.

    confield art

    From what I remember Autechre did the artwork for both. Also something I just recently noticed about the Confield art is that it isn't just some image still on top of a white background, the white is a C. For Confield, presumably.
  3. Uhhhhh so I ordered the CD+WAV and my downloads aren't available?
  4. From the fan perspective, sure, but Warps job is to find swing voters.
  5. I agree, I was more talking about Warp, who are a record label trying to make more money than they made off of Autechres previous release, as is business as usual. Not knocking them, just how things work. Especially after NTS, which what I can tell was probably a success, but you have to remember they probably shelled out a lot of cost on their end to print up 8 LP 4 CD box sets, not to mention refunds and exchanges for quality control issues.
  6. I mean I suppose, although I could argue that previews being released would generate people talking about the music and possibly direct attention to it that may not have been there just based on a release date. Although I guess that will happen eventually, but if they are after preorders, might help.
  7. Will probably end up buying a cd because new Autechre album, but Werp, at least put up previews. It’s 2020. The people who are gonna buy this are going to buy it. And the people who aren’t wont be persuaded by an announcement followed by radio silence until release, what is this a Boards of Canada record? Although I must admit this feels very un-autechreish which is kind of exciting.
  8. I like this record, but man it could have been so much better if he would have dove into the concept album pool like he wanted to. That interview where he says James Blake told him to steer clear of that....are you kidding me? Who is James Blake? I feel like that was the one thing holding this record back. Every time a narrative begins being explored, it's cut short. Which is a shame. There are moments where he really hits on something and apparently James Blake decided to cock block the rest of it. Whatever it was, this album could have been amazing, but it's just pretty good. It's an interesting listen, and the album artwork and packaging is probably the most badass shit I've ever see. Wish the music matched that.
  9. You just eaten my last ounce of Wurst, Spiral. I am not saying that in a gay kind of way. Seriously, fLh, really? What's attractive in that track? Anything? 5 Ae fans like it. The other 90 Billion don't. fLh is sick. One of my favorites of the entire sessions. Pure funky ae hip hop.
  10. Ready for installment two. After several listens through the first session, gotta say, the second half is where it's at. Carefree counter dronal through 32a_reflected is where it's at.
  11. Where are you seeing all four sets available on Bleep? Only place I've seen them is the AE store, and it's only the first set that is up right now, with the whole thing up for pre-order.
  12. What's with Cheetah's track list being all mixed up, but just the titles? Like Cirklon1 is actually Cirklon3? It's all fucked.
  13. The first part reminds me of the break of To Cure a Weakling Child. I think some parts are identical... Also, parts of Bucephalus Bouncing Ball.
  14. I assume SAW I is absent because R&S still hold rights? But why no SAW II?
  15. I thought it was some version of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrdNYq_xsXw&index=3&list=PLbnSrzHoq1usndxDHq9yZNV1gow1_aZKv
  16. For me the drums and percussion on Syro, Analord, ODS, Cheetah, aren't nearly as expressive and dynamic as on RDJ, Come To Daddy or Drukqs. They sound very flat and lack a lot of velocity variation comparatively. It could just be a choice of taste at the time I suppose, but to me it seems he's not able to get that wide range of expressiveness in the percussion with the hardware. But like I said maybe he just chose not to.
  17. I understand this, and agree. Not really what I was getting at with my hope for him to return to producing on a laptop. I feel like his, and most producers, approach is naturally different when producing on a laptop vs hardware. Different setups take you down different avenues and results in different types of sounds and techniques. Personally a lot of my favorite aphex is stuff he's done on a laptop, and it seems he hasn't really done that in a while. I think it would be interesting to see what that approach would bring all these years later after his dive into mostly analog hardware production. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
