Autechre The arrogance of AE

[Guest theSun]

do you really think that live sets and home listenings are the same context after saw them 3 times??

 

obviously the music isn't going to be as sweet if ae aren't actually in front of you pumping the huge PA subs. i think that as a release, an ae live set would hold up at least as well as any other album they've put out.

 

shit i already consider pontins an ae release, like a dancy intermission between untilted and quaristice.

[awepittance]

listen to any of their live tracks and U have to agree that they are not releasing their best stuff..Why IS the question...

 

because they are too embarrassed now a days to release music that is not up its own ass with a stamp of 'difficult listening'

I guess that's true, in a way - I wouldn't say embarassed but reluctant. The lives are pretty straight forward good stuff but perhaps they would consider it a letdown if a new album wouldn't be revolutionary or further evolving the style. I can understand that actually... also I like the overall composition of the albums better. But yes, it would be just so easy for them to put some of the live sets out on a bonus disc or something, like Quarisversions (or like the extraordinary vacuum track disc), and to make the fans happy. But then fuck the fans.

I think AE just always remember the mantra of "The fans are always wrong"

 

And I agree with that.

I did that before i posted.

 

I did ctrl-f and searched for "Pontin" and found nothing.

 

Duder, if you haven't got it already. It's on page three of the downloads, UK England Hemsby is the Pontins set.

whoa, they're playing a version of The PLC

do you think it's really Booth commenting?

[Guest tv_party]

re op: maybe they want people to have a reason to come see them live. perhaps they regard a record as a place to be more experimental and as a nod to the audience give them something different, more repetitive and simple (while still very good) material suited to a club for the live show.
