Draft78 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Lately I'm haunted by the last 19 minutes of Dour. It is the only set with a drastic slowdown, and in the heart of the collapse (precisely at 52:06) there is that short sequence of notes, vertical and distorted, which suggests to me something sexual and gloomy ... impossible to say how much of it is determined and how much is random, but in that area the sound becomes poetry. Contrary to common opinion, I'm not too involved from Dublin: the "fartstep" sequence (12:30) is too short and punished, as well as other key stages. But the entry of the melody at 59:28 is really ecstatic. Too bad it's lost in the following liveset. As for Katowice, I remember that when I returned from Poland, I wrote a review, and, now that the liveset is officially released, it amuses me to read it again, and find out what was the result of "suggestion" and what can be considered as a "real fact". (I'm still sure that the speakers were broken). I enclose below what I wrote: From my point of view, the festival organizers did not meet the essential standard for Autechre. The festival was divided into several stages, and two theaters with very high potential. I do not understand by what logic they did play Ae (who were among the headliners) in a tent and not in one of the two theaters, reserving this "luxury" exclusively for Nils Frahms, Tyler the creator and a few others. The acoustics of the theaters was vertiginous. On the contrary, in the tent (in addiction to the fact that that light seeped from every angle), the sound system it seemed essentially "front", significantly reducing the surround effect, that, for example, has made indelible in my memory the experience of Krakow , last year. There's more: I had the clear impression that, on some frequencies, the system had broken, so going into saturation. Hard to say in the case of Ae, but I can not find probable that they deliberately turned the sound of one of the most popular segments of the live ( ) in a sound so similar to a broken cone, especially as this saturation covered almost completely the rhythm. Beyond the controversy of these notes, by focusing exclusively on the work of Ae, I feel that all my literary effort will never be able to describe the hell that came out from those speakers. The first half of the concert summed up what has already been heard since the days of Krakow, although rearranged and greatly matured. The second half was plunged into a maelstrom of pure sonic madness. I never heard anything like it in my life. You could not grab a pattern, that you were immediately overwhelmed by something completely new and astonishing. It were not simple metamorphosis: the music seemed to move on different planes, mysteriously blended into one indefinable body. Every note, every shot, was an hallucinated twist (... ok, I do not exclude that the 25i-nBome -...accidentally swallowed-, helped to mix a little the cards in my brain...). All I can wish me is that the two British Sir decide to bring that diabolical mechanism in the next LP. Now that they have invented it, have the responsibility to make it known too. a touch of color: about twenty minutes from the end, it appeared that "reggae" passage from Tac Lacora (03:29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be the reason why they stopped to see you. Why they stopped to see you? EDIT: I am actually a similar kind of fan but I am usually just lazy to write it all down.

I read just now ... well maybe I loaded a bit 'tones - I have this inexhaustible strain to the tragicomic of which I just can not break free - but it's equally true that Ae have given me some social awkwardness. ...Someone once told me that, being close to me, it feels to hear Autechre even when the stereo is off. I could not give a precise meaning to this, however, it's sure that it was not intended as a compliment ... The fact is that, for inscrutable reasons, where I find a true musical pleasure, brought almost to level of therapy, others receive only uncomfortable and cold sensations, or even anxiety. It would have to hear the opinion of an anthropologist... Anyway, to accelerate my social drift, i can only hope for the Quaristice and Oversteps livest on the AE_STORE ... Friends!, fellow travelers on this earth!, make that happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a positive person, today, if there were a recording of that, and not the wretched relativist that I am. I was there that night: I fell into such a mystical state that there are still those laughs today, in tourin.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WNS000 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yeah, it is a strange music for "normal people". I listen to them so often that it is absolutely normal to me but people that are new to them are often confused and questioning their fans' mental health (often rightfully though ).

We may revise the nature of this space, making it a support group, with attention not only to patients but also to families. The most ambitious goal would be a genuine reintegration into society, where the individual can discover their potential through an active job and a rewarding and defined role in human relations. the first step, no doubt, will be the Quaristice set, in the AE_STORE.

zlemflolia Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Not really sure why my post got deleted. Guess pointing out legitimate facts that don't match a narrative get blocked. Anyway it's not relevant so not sure why you guys feel the need to take an opportunity to be funny at the expense of someone else, it's a bit of a low blow and has nothing to do with the almighty AE_LIVE.
