Guest ataraxy2 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 People have said before about Quaristice being a very dodgy collection of songs. In fact, it seems a lot here were disgusted by it. In response to this others have mentioned that there is enough content to simply choose your favourite 'versions' of the songs and roll with that - as if that were the finished product. I've done just that, and surprisingly, it fits under 80mins (72mins). There's a few on Quadrange that miss out on a bit of action but I'm not taking this seriously. If I want to hear them I can hear them... whenever I want to. But, the question is: if Quaristice and its brothers were a one-disc album, what songs would you have liked to have been on it?

Guest ataraxy2 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Dude, you listed 90101-5l-l as "90101-5H". OH MY GOD. THE WORLD IS ENDING. Actually if it wasn't such a shitty title I would have noticed. Looks kind of like H in foobar... Marked x 0ne ended up producing art far superior to that of Quaristice's.

djimbe Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Basically, I liked Quarisitice Versions better than the regular edition. This probably demonstrates me holding more to the version of Autechre I like (the fewer, longer tracks mode of Draft 7:30, Untilted, etc.) rather than immediately responding to what to them was a point of change - not just putting out another record with 9 long tracks. So sometimes listening to regular Quaristice, it gets to a part in a track where I'm ready for my favourite part (from Versions) to kick in, and it doesn't happen. Which can be irritating. On the other hand, the many shorter tracks is certainly an easier ask for a casual listen, and the variety starts to appeal over time. So I listen to the regular CD or the versions depending on mood, concentration etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Apologies for massive bump, but I think I finally put together a playlist "Quaristice" that works for me. Rather than try to edit it down to 1-disc length, I've let it expand a bit, but with an eye for being non-repetitive and working well as a fairly standard length double LP. Conceptually, I'd divide the two theoretical discs between Tankraken and Rale. Altibzz The Plc ccc (Quadrange) IO (mons) (Versions) Phylopn (Versions) Perlence range3 (Versions) Perlence Suns (Quadrange) Simmm Paralel Suns Tankraken (Versions) Rale fol4 (Versions) 90101-51-6 (Quadrange). Blyz Castl (Digital Exclusive) Theswere WNSN chenc9 Notwo Altichyre (Versions) Perlence losid 2 (Quadrange) I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I like Quaristice as it is, too, but I think it's better (for me) expanded a bit. The first half of the standard album especially benefits from the expanded tracks, I think. Their self-editing seems much more confident and effective on the album's later short tracks (stuff like Rale, Thesewere, WNSN, chenc9), whereas The Plc, IO, Perlence etc, work best (for me) as traditional epic Autechre. The heavy editing process at the heart of the album may not work as well for those early tracks, but that experimentation, I reckon, might have helped them ease into a more natural way of coming up with the latter short, concise, self contained tracks (and that new insight is particularly apparent on Oversteps, I think). That process might not be how it actually worked chronologically, but I dunno: the proliferation of "versions" of the plc, IO, Perlence, and the 90101s suggests to me that they were a lot less confident about the reconstruction process on those tracks then the were on what ended up as the one-offs. Other than that, it's just subjective; I like Blyz more than Bnc and fwzE combined, and although Fol3 is really cool, Fol4 is extremely engaging. And all the Perlence versions just have this atmosphere that I keep wanting to revisit, and they add a certain thematic unity to the proceedings. Altichyre replaces Outh9X only because I always miss Altichyre more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysyphus Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 quaristice is brilliant. for all the people rocking the lossless with studio monitors - have you noticed listening to "rale" that you can hear counterpoint in the background that you can't hear on say 95% of all speakers out there? when i heard it the first time i got super giddy...i was very impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
