    Autechre - Oversteps (WARP210) [The MegaThread]

    Fake Autechre

     

     

    In response to the silly bit of internet nonsense of our LP being leaked as the new "Oversteps" album by Autechre, let us put a few things right.

     

    The purpose of this "leak" had nothing to do with trying to pass an album off as Autechre, it was targeting those who will only listen to something for plain aesthetic value rather than for its content, and taking the complete piss out of those people. The ones who for example would buy a 12" with the sound of Aphex Twin's bowel movements, just because its RDJ and not for its artistic merit and content of the music, which is a sad fact about a few of the bigger Electronica artists. It only creates dissillusionment.

     

    Our album had been renamed with the wrong titles and put on Soulseek, the people who found it were the ones causing the gossip and hysteria about its authenticity. We had said nothing about it until we asked someone to debunk it on a forum as the joke was getting a bit too big for our liking, despite personally finding it amusing, come on there's a fucking Reaktor sound from the Gaugear on one track.... Even we knew it wasn't authentic enough sounding to be believed. We don't care about promotion for this Altered:Carbon project, contrary to your thoughts on this stunt. We only came out to debunk. Let's face it here, if that had not happened with our album, somebody else would have leaked something else as "Oversteps" and the same thing would have happened.

     

    Anyone in the Ae fanbase who knows and loves the work of Autechre will have known straight away from hearing any of these "fake" tracks that what they had downloaded was a tongue-in-cheek prank aimed at the "IDM fanboys" on certain internet forums and dismissed it there, and in no way aimed at taking anticipation off of the release of Oversteps. The ones who have the patience to wait for its' imminent release will be the most rewarded.

     

    This was an exercise in seeing how quickly false information spreads. Sure, Fluorescent Grey proved this last time, seems no-one learned this time either. We have a lot of respect for both Rob and Sean and WARP Records having been influenced ourselves by their art, and in no way is this intentionally to piss them off. It's not like any Autechre fans are not going to buy "Oversteps" because of a fake release, get real. Anyone who got the fake and was disappointed, serves you right. Check facts before you distribute information, you have nobody to blame but yourselves here. If you love your artists, support them. Go to a show.

     

     

    Maybe Ae even agree with us. Roll on March 22nd. We ordered our "Oversteps.." ;)
