  1. So...any idea how soon they're gonna put Oversteps on? I guess they wouldn't say because they want you to stay glued to their radio station
  2. Holy cow their new album sounds just like Nine with a kick drum under it!! And who said it wouldn't be like Amber.
  3. I'm with thehauntingsoul on this one. I'm grateful to have something to look forwrard to. It's only annoying because I keep coming back to WATMM every day hoping there's going to be an interview posted or something and there's jack shit.
  4. I forgot I was reading it. My little brother was sending me not-so-lulzy Wesley Willis youtube clips.
  5. Oh man. I didn't think the Augmatic Disport lyrics thread could be topped. But you just blew it out of the water. Seriously weeping.
  6. The two of these statements combined give me the feeling that if you previously had the chance to get promos, you just blew it...
  7. Cool. Not real informative, I guess. I hope they'll toss us some crumbs like they did around this time in '08 with the crusty 22khz samples of Rale and Simmm. I don't get the Quaristice hate. I'm not going to go so far as thehauntingsoul did and blame the listener, but I just don't get it. I think Chiastic Slide is probably their best LP, then Draft and Amber for completely different reasons, and Quaristice for similar reasons to Draft. Untilted didn't do much for me, felt glib and a little emotionally detached in the same sort of way as Tri Repetae, though they both certainly had their moments, Tri Rep moreso. The one thing I definitely dislike about new school Autechre is the complete lack of EPs since Gantz Graf. Envane, Cichlisuite, Anti, the Peel sessions, Anvil Vapre, etc. were some of my favorite Autechre. Their albums are great but there's something special about the EPs and in almost all of them they did a great job of making a complete cohesive statement within the space of 3-5 tracks. They were so friggin' good at it. It's a shame they abandoned that but I guess their ideas just don't work in that format anymore.
  8. oh I'm not denying it's a fake. I just don't think it's fair to say it's crap when I think it's really well made (just clipped a lot and sounds kind of off sonically, maybe because it's 128kbps) :wtf: :ohmy: Draft is like...their most sound-designy Hey, i didn´t say it was crap. i like that stuff! I did. I don't like it.
  9. I don't know what's worse, these ham-fisted fake promo tracks or you lot drooling all over them. Entry-level Raaktor wanking is about right, though Reason is more likely.
  10. Well it's a pretty universal symbol... Plus with the brush-strokes I think of it as more like a filled-in enso.
  11. Yeah, I think this is made up of samples of their old stuff I hear bits of Confield and Draft. Cool trick for making fakes...it sounds like Autechre cos technically it is...heh.
  12. Yeah that qplay preview defo sounds fake... guess that severely limits the chances that the Treale one is authentic. Now that I listen again the Treale one sounds fake too. There's too little structure. I think it samples Draft. Cool textures.
  13. if that's a fake, that's a DAMN good fake & I'd love to hear more of your stuff.
  14. Exactly. The funniest thing about this to me is that their old stuff is still all out there. If you get tired of the albums, check out the live sets. There's enough there to keep anyone occupied for weeks. And listening to that is NOT mutually exclusive to listening to their new stuff. In fact, one of the most rewarding things for me as a listener is finding the connections between albums (which admittedly are really difficult to parse out after Confield or so). After years of intensive listening I'm still finding new stuff in Chiastic Slide, Confield, Draft, etc. It's like they're alive! Their continuing to be easily bored is the most refreshing thing anyone could hope out of a group that's been working as long as they have. They are going to keep changing and growing. If you can't handle it now, come back to it later. You will have changed, and then maybe you will be more open to the changed Autechre.
  15. Who wants to go backwards? If you want to hear something that sounds like old-timey Autechre, join the masses of wannabes doing pastiches of their back catalog. There's far worse ways to kill time.
  16. Joyrex why don't you go bake an apple pie and stand in the doorway of the melody cottage waiting for your prodigal sons to return home. Sounds like a lovely afternoon Hallmark special.
  17. "Return"? LOL. Why even listen to Autechre? There's plenty of melodic stuff out there.
