    Autechre - Oversteps (WARP210) [The MegaThread]

    Xyrofen, yeah, I'm waiting til the show's over cos I don't wanna miss anything.

    It's only 19:26 here so I'm not sleepy yet :)

     

    Alright, thanks.

     

    So far, I'm really psyched for this. see on see sounds wonderfully ambient with a lot of nice reverb effects on it and the melody is great. I have yet to listen to the sample of ilanders.

    I would really like an album of stuff like fol3, Rale, WNSN, Theswere, Outh9x, Steels, Drane2, Rae... All of which I'd consider fairly ambient in nature (or soundscape orientated).

     

    I'd be really happy actually, even though I love æ's beat driven stuff. I mean, in order to do proper live music, won't they need a fair amount of beats so as to get the spectators into it and not all just sitting there being pensive?

    yes but does this still work? cd sales have been declining everywhere without exception, genre is irrelevant.

    To me something like Avatar-day, the 16 minute free 3d preview for a select group of people months in advance to the release was a very smart marketing ploy to get word of mouth buzz going.

    If you show absolutely nothing for the product you are hyping 2 months off, the word of mouth buzz can't possibly become more than 'im really excited to hear this'

    it's antiquated as fuck to only give an early copy to a reviewer and not a fan imo, at least warp should make a youtube sampler like they did for Hudson Mohawke and Clark

     

    Yeah, I really appreciated those samplers that were up for Totems Flare before it came out. I also like the samples that Planet-Mu puts on its website for releases both out and upcoming. It's like, sure you can download it, but you're getting poor quality and only a fraction of the track lengthwise. The mayhem that ensued from the Rephlex update was proof that doing shit like that works. Just do the digital release with "physical release to come." I would be so much more inclined to pre-order the Oversteps LPs than I already am if I could just have the WAV files right now to listen to while I wait to get some awesome vinyls.

    Ambient - The Megathread

    O yeah I totally forgot about V Snares. SHAME ON ME SHAME ON ME SHANE ON ME lol shane....

     

    Stone in Focus will be the song played at my funeral hopefully not soon.

     

    Hah yeah people underestimate Snares versatility no doubt.

    gotta admit I actually think the one track you posted there is enjoyable. I tried some of his music but hated it.

     

     

    are there more VS ambient tunes?

     

    His only ambient album is My Downfall (Original Soundtrack).

    He has a few classical/Hungarian tracks on Rossz csillag alatt született that I fancy.

    I agree, some of his music is a bit too aggressive for my taste. Particularly his earlier stuff.

    However I do like his recent album Detrimentalist, because it's much more structured.

     

    There's also "P" from Cavalcade and "Aaron" from Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding for his ambient stuff.
