ambermonk Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^kekI'm with Xox on this one. I think Ae will have continued relevance in music history as a whole, even posthumously. Doesn't matter how popular they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 they will always be relevant to producers who let their guard down enough to not be intimidated by the wizardry and instead are intrigued and curious about it. regardless of what criticisms people have Autechre is working at a very high level in a very abstract and unique place, as long as they continue this, the relevance of their music will last a while. Well put. And agree. Also, this thread is a lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klore Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 this thread is so much fun !! about "relevant" i think it really depends on what this means nowadays, relevant for who ? is the question, for people like us, the 30/40 generation probably, but for the kids not sure IDM in any ways will ever be something relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlemflolia Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 i played tac lacora on my brother's new stereo and he said "this is what the dubstep people are trying to make" (as in they try and fail) or something to that effect. Blasphemy but whatever I see the point. But he's not going to start listening to it any time soon The music you choose to listen to isn't necessarily related to what you think is the best and most artistic, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The music you choose to listen to isn't necessarily related to what you think is the best and most artistic, etc. can you explain that a bit? I specifically listen to the music that I think is the best. I wouldn't intentionally listen to music I think is "not very good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 You can appreciate the technicality of something without liking it, I believe. For example I don't like most rock music but I can appreciate the skill it takes to play drums or a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This thread is good. Without quoting tons of shit I'll just say that I'd agree with the most of the thoughtful commentary from the past week. Autechre are enjoying themselves and even without 'popularity' they have a fair amount of recognition/respect. They're very relevant; even though the last few albums could've used a bit of editing (imo of course), they're doing whatever the hell they want that is always innovative in some way or another. Can't ask for much more out of a musician than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
