Guest Balance Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I found draft very tough at first, tougher than Confield, I couldn't believe it at first that they "ruined" Surripere, but now I know that Surripere is the ultimate especially the "ruined" second half. Surripere and Pen Expers, what a pair, Triangle, Bine, IV IV, 61cr etc, two amazing albums. Very tough to get in to these at first though, I think it's forgivable if people just give up and say fuck this give me more amber or tri rep, it took me ages to realise. I think they all sound very different from each other inc Untilted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just want to reiterate how kickass this album is. I dare say it's autechre's Vulgar Display of Power, A NUUUUU LEVALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLHHHHHHHHHH!!!! This is album #8, after Draft 7, right? What's the '8' connection with the title (if any)?

Vilwx Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 8 letters in Autechre and Untilted. 8 tracks. Comeon, this was all explained by Achilles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilwx Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) This is definitely the release that made me a fan, past a "casual" listener. Not only is it maddeningly, impossibly crazy beats like the most intricate engine ever running itself into the ground, but much of it is really beautiful like fog rolling into a valley in morning. At the time I had only heard a handful of albums but after this became an all-time fav I quickly starting getting into the others (Confield, Chiastic Slide, Draft, the ones that hadn't made instant impressions before). It took much longer for me to have an emotional response to those but I was always intrigued. Untilted gave me context for the rest. Ipacial Section may as well match my heartbeat when it rattles my head around. Edited January 30, 2013 by Vilwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyrofen Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Can anyone else hear voices in Ipacial Section starting from around 7:30? I believe all the distorted and muffled sounding bits after 8:15 are possibly voices too. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 They're pretty obviously voices aren't they? Sounds like a muffled newsreader or something... unless you're talking about some other noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehauntingsoul Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wow, this topic has got me listening to Untilted for the first time in a long while... It's blowing my mind all over again. Edit: What the hell is the time signature at the beginning of Augmatic Disport?! 4/4 It ends up in 4/4, but it doesn't sound like it starts out in it... It's 4/4 but there's just some crazy syncopation going on.. typical Autechre! Is there ever... For an album of such rhythmic mayhem most of it is in 4/4. Can't remember exactly off the top of my head, but they squeeze five "hits" equally rhythmically/metrically spaced into three beats. All in 4/4. I believe you are referring to the trees at around 2:15. I love this a shit load, in fact this is one of my favs off untilted. Not because of that part though, it's the fm(?) distortion that creates an octave-shifting melody that breaks in around 3:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spptrl alt del Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 after wrestling with L-event for a week, i put this on.. sounds so effortless and smooth in comparison, easy on the ears. never thought i could say that about Untilted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I disliked this album for such a very long time. With the exception for Sublimit, which I originally saw as the only high point of the album.I listed to it a good bit when it first came out, but from ~july '05 on, I only listened to Sublimit. I remember kind of liking Pro Radii and The Trees, but never listened to them much. I think my problem with it was the first minute of LCC, Augmatic Disport, and Fermium got so annoying so fast for me. The drum pattern was cool for the first 2-3 rounds through, but they dwelled on them too long. This was my experience too - I found a lot of the tracks just grating and annoying at first. Especially Ipacial Section (though I quickly grew to love the second half). I was turned off by how dry the album sounded compared to Draft and Confield. It's grown on me since but I still consider it one of their weaker albums. LCC, Pro Radii, and Sublimit are amazing tracks. I like the Exai / Eleventeen sound palette more in general. They're kind of opposite to each other - Untilted is overly dry and Exai is overly wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I listened again recently. Man, Sublimit is so great. Those subtle chord progressions are gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 listening to the album at 70% speed is very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 listening to the album at 70% speed is very interesting yes, also Untilted if you have a vinyl copy is one of the best AE albums for beat-matching with other tracks, even just mashing up the two records together. The skeletal dry very syncopated feel of Untilted goes great with techno or other dry minimal electronic music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Untilted to me basically is Augmatic Disport, Iera, The Trees and Sublimit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
