Autechre Synchronized Ae Album Cycle

[thehauntingsoul]

Alright folks well I'm back with another sickeningly fanboyish idea.

 

What if we listen to the entire Ae discography over the course of a few weeks/months and discuss about it periodically. I like going to shows to listen to music WITH other people, and sometimes me and a buddy will sync up a track so that it starts at exactly the same time and discuss how awesome it is. Its basically just a splooge of autechre fanboyism but if this had to go anywhere, the Ae forums here on our own Watmm is the place.

 

I'm thinking we listen to an album for like 3 days or so, and then move on to the next one. Just the idea of knowing that all the other ae fans on here also have the same ae album as me going in rotation. Also we can talk about the albums one by one while we do this and discuss what tracks we like/dislike and what tracks we've grown to enjoy. The only rules would be that you have to listen to the ENTIRE album cumulatively within the period for everyone. We could negotiate the rotation period obviously but the basic premise stays the same.

 

I don't think there is really much point to this, just a fun and interesting experiment but would you guys be down for making the epic Autechre journey together?

Its like a book club, but with music.

[Sam]

ae book club, exactly what i was gonna say

 

may pass myself, trying to abstain from ae albums for a while, overkilled them :(

[Guest Drahken]

Would be pretty simple to setup a Stickam or something and broadcast a track while you chat about it. Interesting idea actually.

[dr lopez]

sounds like a decent idea to me. in a couple days just create a thread with an album name and a period of like 4 days and we'll be off.

[Blir]

Sounds like the faggiest idea I've ever heard.

 

 

 

Let's do it.

[thehauntingsoul]

well I want to give the semi-regulars some time to see this thread and everybody who is down should post in here so when there is enough people we'll give it a go.

 

It would still be cool to do with like 2-3 people but less cool.

 

I'm surprised nobody has flamed me for this yet.

 

 

edit: never mind

 

edit: actually I guess that wasn't a flame

[markedone]

I think it'd be easiest to change on a weekly basis. And you could just have a prominent thread each week (ie "CHIASTIC SLIDE Thread") where the discussion would go down and anybody could stop by and throw down comments throughout the week. You could also organize more specific meetings and track discussions (stickam etc) from within the thread.

[Blir]

Do it by album and associated EP's.

 

The main point being the album ie Incunabula, but encompasses Lego Feet for instance. Amber with Anti, Tri Rep with Anvil and Garbage etc.

 

 

BVlah blah fglenrgker

[thehauntingsoul]

If we're doing week-by-week then yeah that sounds like a good idea.

[Blir]

Week by week it is then.

 

By the way BVlah blah fglenrgker is the next album. You heard it here first.

[Dale]

I'd be happy to chip in here and there

[modey]

i might join in for super trainspotty nerding, hehe.

[Ego]

My HD650 will be arriving next week, so I might enjoy this. Count me in.

[perunamuusi]

yeah

 

i might not be able to make it

[Capsaicin]

I'll try my best to join!

[goonstock]

lets go

[thehauntingsoul]

I'm surprised at all the positive feedback for this idea.

 

Alright then I think we shall start sunday-sunday with incunabula and basscadet remix. If you guys feel you can add Lego Feet in but its not mandatory.

[Guest Goum Le Chat]

I didn't listened to Ae that much for the past weeks. Sounds good to me.

[six]

lol, I just listened to their entire catalog over the course of August so I am kind of on a break for a while. If was just an album a week I would prob be into that though.

[Guest Joebot Kill]

yep been on an ae kick recently. i just got incunabula on vinyl so this should be nice.

[Guest ezkerraldean]

this is an absolutely awesome / terminally sad idea

 

 

 

i may do it

 

 

 

just doing LPs? what aboot gescom shit?

 

 

[Guest theSun]

cavity job?

[Blir]

Just discuss albums. EP's/remixes as sidenote kind of thing. More chance of people owning the albums but not the eps and extras and shit.

 

So as I said before, it'll be Chiastic Slide week, which would envelop Envane and Cichli Suite as a secondary discussion. I mean, try not to over organize this into being boring of course.

[thehauntingsoul]

Ill make a new thread every week. I'm sure that even if we encompass an EP or two per album the discussion will still be somewhat linear
