goofy and carnivalesque autechre tracks

[darreichungsform 80]

what's your favourite grotesquely funny and strangely humorous autechre tracks?

to me splesh and dummy casual pt 2 sound like music evil autistic clowns would dig

[auxien 43]

Stop Look Listen

bnc Castl

Lowride

 

to name a few

[darreichungsform 80]

Yeah, Stop Look Listen falls under this category but In case of Lowride I suspect they legitimately thought it sounds dark and etherial at that time and it's the way it aged that gave it a bit of a funny feel but might be mistaken

stop look listen & maphive

[Stickfigger 52]

Fermium

All of Quaristice

^Agreed, first thing that came to my mind is quaristice is full of this mood. Most obviously in IO, Perlence, fwze, BNC castl..

Unrelated observation, fwze sounds like it is influnced by or would fit in with Mr Oizo's Moustache (Half a Scissor).  An album anyone who is into the more silly side of autechre should know/check out.

Stop Look Listen is kinda neutralised by the second half where it goes all dark though.

 

I also don't agree with maphive6.1, for similar reasons.. but then again maybe I'm biased because it's one of my favourite electronic compositions of all time.

 

known(1) comes close for me, at least when I first heard it I had a bit of a giggle when that lead came in, awesome track though.

 

bnc castl for sure though, love the toy dog barks

Maphive 6.1 isn't that goofy to me either, almost melancholic to my ears. I mean all Autechre tracks are kind of interpretative so it's interesting to see how different people perceive different tracks

plyPhon, eidetic casein, bnc is alright. overall probably my least fav style of theirs tho, something immersion breaking about it, dunno. that being said i've decided to like splesh. fLh still a bit poop. dummy casual doesn't sound goofy to me, neither does stop look listen. the latter i'd describe as "playful" at best / worst.

[darreichungsform 80]

^Yeah, used to be my least favourite style of theirs too but it starts opening up for me. Has something surreal to it
