Albums are a valueless medium. They always have been

[Agent]

Noticed some Autechre love in this thread and let me throw a few more in: Confield (a generative algorithm MASTERPIECE), ep7 (not really an EP), and Quaristice. All great, start to finish. Musically and, er, let's say visually.

how do autechre (and basic channel) get away w calling lp-length stuff ep's?

dissensus is basically divided between ae nerds who are already convinced they're god tier and people who couldn't care less. so no need to mess around, let's just admit that everything they've done is at least good and every album has arguably been better than the last.

Barbican techno

this seems to be the dissensus dividing line on every topic.

I love LP5. Drane is one of their finest works.

ffs barty

 

[other_life]

i haven't listened to them in a while but everyone's right they're untouchable

 

[CrowleyHead]

They're fucking shit what's wrong with you people.

 

[CrowleyHead]

2020 we're still shackled to the slavish allegiance to Richard D James and Autechre. This is why we can't evolve into a modern society. Nobody fucking cares about them in the real world because they're barely music. Fucking Autechre? AUTECHRE? Even Woebot could point this out guys, come on.

I bet you could come to like them! evidence:

The trick is in the run-on sentences, the moments of friction in the pockets of the beat, the erratic energy that can easily become a formula but becomes about dawdling and the unnecessary over emphasis on certain syllables or deliberate staggering.

This thread is lost in the wilderness. Where is sadmanmoses to lead it into the promised land?

 

[mvuent]

knew someone was about to pull the old "um ANYWAYS lets get back on track" as soon as I posted that. I'll start my own thread about the connection then.

 

[luka]

Sorry. Didn't mean to play the traffic warden.

 

[mvuent]

didn't mean to imply that I don't agree with you about sadmanmoses. (just that I had an idea for a thread that will probably annoy like 30% of the forum)

I agree with this 100%. I only like Amber and this record by them, but I love them. The rest I have tried and disliked.

 

[craner]

This is my favourite from LP5.

When they have killer hooks or - gasp - tunes they are at their best. I thought they were twats when they dismissed Amber as "cheesy"...

 

[craner]

This is not cheesy you dicks, it is totally gorgeous as you know because you made it.
