Autechre Autechre - Oversteps (WARP210) [The MegaThread]

[azatoth]

boomkat is cheaper than bleep. wtf.

[Guest uiert]

It´s a tough call.

The 10.000 days cover is awesome.

Yes, look into tool, its good stuff.

[sidewinder]

wouldn't really call tool pretentious. they are a pretty tongue-in-cheek kind of band. it's the fanboys who are the pretentious ones. and i would also class them equally as faceplam inducing as their ae&boc peers, maybe for different reasons. fanboys are generally horrible.

but yes, you should check out tool. been doing their thing for pretty much 20 years now.

This.

 

mody - isis is amazing for sure. i wouldnt say they are better than tool only for a lack of variety. but i do enjoy them just as much

And this. Though I don't enjoy ISIS quite as much as Tool...for that reason.

 

Ae!

[plstik]

pre-ordered from boomkat!

 

For some reason bleep.com hasnt been letting me visit the page for the last week, just get a 404?

I'm having this problem whilst browsing bleep with chrome. Firefox works fine.

I'm having a problem in Firefox but not Chrome, lol

[baph]

Bwahahaha @ teh tdn tewl fakes.

 

The best part was when 10,000 Days came out and it sounded like Tool was taking the piss completely and just releasing a joke album, and then it turned out to be real, and then I never listened to that shitty album ever again.

 

GODDAMN SHIT THE BED

[sneaksta303]

I met Adam Jones at Autechre's Untilted-era gig when they were in LA. He was kind of taken aback that someone recognized him.

[awepittance]

haha, thats someone different than the guy who threatened to kill anyone who took a soundboard recording of the quaristice set right?

[gl0tch]

nah, Adam Jones is the guitarist for Tool... I forget that guys name... If I remember correctly it was a technically androgynous (yet heavily female) name like Dana or Kelley.

[awepittance]

ah ok, anybody get the oversteps rar off soulseek yet? it doesnt sound real to me but its not bad either. 142 megabytes ?

Jamie?

[gl0tch]

Yeah... that sounds right.

i thought ae had an open taping policy. that whole tour, there wasn't one sbd? ah, nevermind. i dont want to grind glotch's gears.

 

 

but one better pop up of this new tour!

[awepittance]

apparently, AE was not pleased at the leaked soundboard recordings from the Untitled tour. Gl0tch had a long conversation with the live sound guy from the Quaristice tour about why AE was so protective of having aleaked soundboard recording, he claimed that the stuff for the Quaristice tour is meant to be en exclusive special one of a kind experience that couldn't be recreated at home. but the original post Gl0tch made was epic about thsi conversation, ill ask him to repost it.

 

unrelated: strange thing is though around the time Untilted tour/series of shows was being wrapped up (2007 or so) a soundboard recording of a 2001 Autechre show for Confield randomly appeared on soulseek.

The timing seemed pecuilar, especially because at the time there seemed to be a huge following for the soundboarded 2005 AE show, almost equal to that of Untilted itself.

This 'montreal' confield show recording had remained stashed away for 7 years, but oddly the Montreal recordings i've heard that are not soundboard sound totally different than this. It makes me wonder if AE leaked it themselves, a private in the studio run through of the confield set perahps

 

edit: gl0tch im trying to send you the rar now, you are not answering

Edited January 21, 2010 by gl0tch

that is very interesting. seems kind of silly to me to be so protective of a live experience. i enjoy the hell out of that 05 sbd. i listen to that more than most albums and it really opened up untilted for me after spending so much time with that set. seems weird they would want to deprive anyone of that.

 

concerning the 2001 boards, i have 2. one is def widely circulated (may 9th in toronto) but i have another that's from may 18th in oakland. i ' really seen it anywhere else. its really great quality. it starts with some weird heavy metal jam. im pretty sure i upped it on xlt a fw years ago. i will up it again if you guys dont have it.

[splesh]

just pre-ordered Oversteps from bleep. feels good, man

i'd love to hear the one from oakland, and i think i meant to say Toronto not montreal . Was it widely circulated since 2001? if so somehow i missed it until it was reupped around mid 2006

[Guest theSun]

fuck them if they want to deprive me of their soundboards. that shit is the best electronic music period these days.

 

and fuck them for not coming to america!

 

sry guys i <3 u really

[gl0tch]

Found it!!!

 

(from my post in 2007)

 

 

..."there's not gonna be a bootleg soundboard recording of this tour. they are using their own soundman for this tour and this dude is sitting there at the board doing there sound @ every show. no way he is going to let anyone come in and record it. he is a direct employee (and probably a friend) of autechre. if you want to prevent people from getting soundboard recordings, this is the perfect way to do it.

 

BUT, it has been reported that autechre are soundboard recording their own shows this tour. i have a feeling that when the tour is over some of these recordings may be released by the band somehow. perhaps via their website? there really should be some sort of high quality document of their live performancees.

 

 

His name is Jaimie. He works for Warp and also works with Plaid and SquarePusher. I talked to him for 15 minutes after the show last night. Neither a soundboard recording nor a "live" release is going to happen. I told him a shit ton of people would pay several times the cost of the limited edition copy of Quaristice for a proper recording of this set. He said he hears that at every venue and it still is not going to happen. He said what's going on is a real-time event unique to that evening, its dependent on the space (and wouldnt translate to a board recording) and it wouldnt be fair to the "fans" who paid to see them live if they released this. He said the improvisational quality of the performance was a special treat for people to hear that one time only, for that night. Personally, I think this statement is basically bullshit in light of the fact that audience recordings so far suggest this set is nearly following the same structure each night. He also suggested that to record it would be to lose the space in the recording, and that would make them sound retarded or something. I argued that this tour was better than the past two albums together.... To that, he didnt say this, but I couldnt help but feel that his tone suggested that Autechre knew it was better. He also said that they could make 4 times as much money if they had vocals over their stuff, but that takes away from what they are doing AND it proves they wouldnt release a proper recording of the set "just for the money." He basically said he felt this was the best material they have ever done. He also said the Brooklyn show was the best show of the tour so far.

 

I told him I have a recording of him saying "it was illegal to record that" in Vancouver. He was really surprised. I told him I thought it was weird that they werent into recording since I recently read in print that they said it was ok. He kind of blew that off. I also said I knew that he recorded the Portland show. Weirdly he denied it at first, then admitted it. He asked how I knew all this shit and where I got my recordings, which I thought was weird.

 

Finally, I mentioned the 2005 soundboard recording and he knew about that. He was PISSED. He said that wont ever happen again, that they were sneaky bastards, and that he would basically kill who ever did that. I guess that implies that Autechre was really mad that the recording saw the light of day. Fuck it, that recording made me listen to ALL their shit even more.

 

Needless to say, to get a soundboard recording, you're going to have to slip into the board WAY before anyone goes on and hide your shit so he doesnt see it... To that end, you'd have to step away for the rest of the show, hope you get everything clearly, and then grab your shit before he breaks down. I dont know if this is the case everywhere, but in Philly he stayed behind the board and never left after the show... He broke down, so if anyone was plugged where he couldnt see it, he would have found it anyway FWIW, I dont how anything that could record the entire night, with good quality, and not be detected. Maybe if someone slips some Ipecac into his beer, he would have to reliquish his post, and someone could plug in while he steps off the board to puke his guts out. If someone pulled that shit off, that would be fucking balls...."

[awepittance]

oh christ, i forgot the ipecac... epic
