    Not enough progression for it to be an Autechre track imo

    I'll eat my shoe if track 8 turns out to be produced by someone other than Plaid

    I saw Salad Fingers at some point in highschool and loved it. Firth prominently displayed the music credits at the end (BOC - Beware The Friendly Stranger) which led me to check out mhtrtc and geogaddi and I loved those albums. Firth's cartoons also had a lot of aphex twin in them so I checked him out and liked it, eventually checked out the warp records site (the old boxy one) and probably the first autechre track I heard was LCC which was their most recent album at the time. I clicked through a bunch of their tracks and thought it was weird and didn't really like it but I checked out samples of a whole bunch of tracks and rpeg was probably the first track that really got its hooks into me (although I hated everything after the first minute or two at the time). Then I think it was clipper/eutow and from there I just gradually started clicking with more of their tracks. So yeah, it's all thanks to some weird crazy flash animator posting his insanity onto newgrounds.

    Hey my thread from almost 7 years ago! I will comb through here and check out what you guys posted recently. Here's a few off the top of my head that bear at least some resemblance to Autechre. In no particular order (some of you will be very familiar with some of these). Tried to only post ones I didn't find years ago from this thread. Roel Funcken VHS Head The Fear Ratio Mr Oizo Hecq Ital Tek Kouhei Matsunaga / NHK / NHK' Koyxen et al Vaetxh Qebrus Subjex

    I still listen to this track like 2-3 times per week. It's hands down the best one-off track they've done.

    As someone who isn't a huge fan of RDJ, this album is absolutely awesome. Worth the wait.

    Alright, I've conceded that I may have misused the term stereo imaging. And yeah I'm sure if you are a sound engineer it's possible to get the acoustics, eq and speakers all set up properly to have a perfect sound quality, but I think it's tough to argue that headphones aren't a way easier path to near-perfect sound quality. I can spend like $300 on some Sennheiser cans and basically no time at all and have professional sound quality, but to do it with speakers requires more than simply money. You need a quiet environment, good acoustics, expensive speakers, proper positioning and all sorts of other stuff. Plus the sound will only be 100% perfect while you're looking dead on at the speakers. If you turn your head the sound quality will be slightly different. Headphones don't really have this problem.

    stereo imaging isn't "lost using speakers" nor is it "gained" by use of headphones. conclusion is likely a result of distortion imposed by the listening environment, not necessarily an error within the source material. I might not be using the right terminology but the stereo aspect and the details about pan etc are much more pronounced on headphones. You can't even argue that point. Speakers might allow better bass quality overall but only if they are blasting super loud. Headphones will give you a clearer sound and you'll be able to distinguish specifics better.

    I think the question was asked to them in their AMA here but I don't recall the answer. Anyways yeah I am pretty sure Ae music works way better on headphones than on speakers. So much of the detail and stereo imaging is lost using speakers.

    Why is everyone going nuts about the ending? The middle of the track is amazing but the end is really simple and not very exciting.
  11. thehauntingsoul
    Hooray for probably somebody making a mistake allowing us to download this early
  12. thehauntingsoul
    So what is the actual release date for bleep:10? Bleep vaguely lists it as "May 2014"
  13. thehauntingsoul
    Too soon
  14. thehauntingsoul
    Damn that Juno player is more annoying than the ol' hit pause/play every 30 seconds thing on Bleep. This tracks sounds really amazing though despite the poor quality and jittery playback.
  15. thehauntingsoul
    Is this out now?
  16. thehauntingsoul
    everyone "flows" and it's boring.
  17. thehauntingsoul
    Anybody?
  18. thehauntingsoul
    Autechre does maritime accordion folk music from 13:00 onwards.
  19. thehauntingsoul
    This is extremely awesome. Please do more, you've just earned yourself a youtube sub Please do Cipater or Nuane. Or Surripere.
  20. thehauntingsoul
    Thanks a ton for the q&a sesh guys! Come to Montreal soon, or Ottawa if you can. Cheers!
  21. thehauntingsoul
    Sean, what is Kouhei Matsunaga like to work with? Does he wear his 3D glasses during private jam sessions?
  22. thehauntingsoul
    What's the deal with SonDEre-ix? Sounds like someone was having nightmares about lawn gnomes.
  23. thehauntingsoul
    will get to this tmoro You broke my heart by not delivering, Rob. I'm going to run away and cry now.
  24. thehauntingsoul
    What's a day in the life of Ae? Any interesting stuff you can say about any of these tracks? Theme of sudden roundabout, iera, cfern, nuane, latent quarter, 777, netlon sentinel, perlence, they're a few of my faves. Can you name my oxygen 49? Space, deep sea or Antarctic? Android or iOS? Cheers, thanks again for this q&a session, it's been a great show!
  25. thehauntingsoul
    Rob! I know I asked this earlier but I have to know haha. Can you name drop a few tracks that were exclusively you and exclusively Sean? For science!
