yeah, it starts out pretty stable and it’s only much later once the momentum’s near its peak that they start really switching things up. which is unusual for their later stuff, usually they’re pretty ruthless about throwing you straight in without much chance to get a bearing.

but that sort of flux is, i think, what they really excel at, especially in the new millenium. dancing around the edges of the groove, stretching it in wildstyle angles without losing the underlying form. ofc the problem is that if you’re not really “in” when you’re listening you don’t hear the balancing act it all just sounds awkward and random. but if you have a good listening day and get ‘drawn into the flight path’ for an extended time, going back to normal electronic music is hard, it sounds flat and lifeless by comparison.

I must have been trippin' when I wrote that sentence - don't know why the unnecessary "has an" is there, but I guess it was understood anyway.

really like this one. definitely in the "dub zone" - w/ their trick of making abrasive sounds cast off beautiful choir-like suspended reverb tails. i forgot to mention the ending of their first remix of that track as another example of the "world-overlap hallucinatory voice" thing brought up on the previous page, but this new version actually develops that more as a musical element whereas in the first one (which i also really like, although it evokes an unsettling/morbid feeling) it's just faintly thrown in there:

Yeah, both good but prefer the new one. On Bandcamp now too. That cavernous delay's more pleasing to the ear than the sandpapery textures of the first.

seems like the first part of that remix is lifted pretty directly from haswell's original track (hence "conformity mix"?) - but they do add some startling new sounds and, to my ears, sort of reshuffle the original sounds into an audibly metered 4/4 pulse. which makes it kind of an interesting case study of their rhythmic sensibility.

taking the chaos of the original and not really taming or simplifying it (in typical ae fashion, the syncopation-contortions get really disorienting at times), but giving it a kind of underlying perceptual order - turning freeform gestural slashing into wildstyle techno.

...but all that's overshadowed by the deathly vocal pad ghosts that float in and envelop the second half of the track.

Did I ever confess that I'd secretly been listening to autechre stuff and amassing a playlist of stuff i actually liked that quickly grew embarrassingly long (hence the title)?



I'm hoping posting this will at last persuade luka to come out of retirement as he dresses me down for crossing the lines like a scab into the autechre glitch factory

thing with luka is if he was born in new zealand he would be an indie rocker. there's a minimal burning libidinal desire to dig with him, or at least, he exhausted what he had of it from being indoctrinated by hardcore-jungle. You have always been closer to me corpsey than you have luka and craner, you just cannot deny it. I mean it's also why I see you in the chat room with shy one on nts.

They've done another interview too:

Since the release of your debut album Incunabula in 1993, you've consistently released new albums every 2-3 years, which is impressive. However, your last two records, SIGN and PLUS, came out in 2020. Have you been working in the studio lately, and are there any plans to release new material soon?
Sean: I'm honestly not that interested in records anymore. The concept of what a studio album is seems outdated. For instance, if I create a track on my laptop while on a train, does that qualify as a studio album? No one would know it was made there. If I use my laptop on stage, does that still count as a studio record? It’s different because there’s an audience. But if I’m in the studio with friends while making a hip-hop album, is that an audience too? These terms become confusing.
Rob: The downside is that you often have to promote an album for a year before its release. Our approach is to perform on stage, record the sessions, and then release those recordings. We just get a mastering engineer if we release something on vinyl.

Does it mean you won't be working on a new release?
Sean: These live shows are everything.
Rob: We've been doing this since 2022, calling it 2022 dash. We could keep it going for another ten years. Traveling and meeting people is something you can’t replicate in a studio.
Sean: Why would you think our live material is worse than studio recordings? My focus is on performing and sharing those experiences. We selected our best sets to release, and after our previous record deal ended, we renegotiated with the label earlier this year. We’ll release about 4-5 hours of new material, not just one album.
