CharlesWatkins Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 has autechre/warp paid someone to generate like 1000 accounts on here to promote their new album or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd syside Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 has autechre/warp paid someone to generate like 1000 accounts on here to promote their new album or something? I'm suspicious of this as well. I was hired by Warp back when Oversteps was released to help promote it. I fear that the potential sudden increase in activity could spell a decrease pay grade for me. Some of the new people I suspect they hired are surprisingly witty and very clever. I almost feel like I am going insane because their faux enthusiasm seems so authentic. I really don't know if I will be able to compete and I fear I might have to find a new employer. If any labels are looking, pm me please. I have kids to feed.

Guest nem30 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Not mine, I'm afraid - although I wouldn't turn anything down... Here's another review tho: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/54946/Autechre-Exai/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have kids to feed. if you think about it it would be pretty easy though. not trying to get anyone mad just discussing it.. bots are easy enough to write. you could have a pretty good business model if you slowly over the course of say 5 or 6 years registered random accounts here and there, and then took your idea to record companies and/or artists.

Guest nem30 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I made an account to post reviews to the thread - seeing as this thread was what came up when I googled 'Autechre Exai review'... (The album doesn't show up on metacritic). Seeing as there is a holding page for the album here, though - http://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/5703-autechre-exai.php - perhaps it is a bit redundant posting links?

CharlesWatkins Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 it would be made easier if you knew the ppl running the site as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 has autechre/warp paid someone to generate like 1000 accounts on here to promote their new album or something? I'm with Charles here. I seriously find it a bit weird, that so many people on an electronic music forum enjoys Autechre this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disoriental express Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 oh ok, nice conversation! ask yourself, does it matter? (btw i think the derailing of this thread into possible pointless conspiracies on the part of warp to promote autechre on a forum that is already filled with autechre praise is entirely useless) oh fuck, i just joined in..... well for me too!

I learned some things looking up some of the terms he was using like 'terpsichorean urgency'. terpsichorean - of or relating to dancing or the art of dancing.... Hmm!
