Autechre

Drane 2, Rae and Acroyear II are incredible tunes. I love their early work as well, but LP5 is outstanding.

One thing I don't see mentioned much is Keynell, which is basically a mid 90s album. Tracks in order here.

1996 - First Keynell EP on SKAM, bit of Chiastic slide buzz. Keynell 4 with its wonky 9 bar melody loop is my fave:


1996 - Autechre Keynell Remixes on WARP, more of a Garbage EP sound:



1998 - Another Keynell remix - just drums

True story: I was off my at a festival and smelt really strong weed. Asked the guy for a smoke like a cheeky cunt and turned out it was rob autechre. Spoke to him for about 5 mins about the music I liked and then he reached into his pocket and broke off a decent chunk and gave it me. Sound guy.

LP5's their worst album, imo.

wash your hands.

Yup, both of them are totally sound. As is AFX from my limited experience.

I found one I really like:


Obliquely reminds me of somebody like Theo Parrish. That snatch of harmony. I find their use of chords somehow oppressive usually, and drums. Everything here is stripped back.

Yeah, very good.

Don't try and look for ones you like. You' e picked a side. Don't muddy the waters.

 

[Corpsey]

I could use it as a stick with which to beat the majority of their music?

Another in the same vein.

And this is another quiet masterpiece

I agree. I have the vinyl which has a very cool sleeve design as well.

Why?

It's the one that sounds the most like "IDM".

 

[version]

Rae in particular is horrible. It sounds like someone on YouTube trying to make an Aphex tune.

idm is a fallacy really.

it's a lot of american electronica which is universally terrible.

noone uses the term in the UK unless they are an egghead.

not my favourite tune on the album but no, afx would have made it all spastic and lost the restraint.

I didn't say AFX though. I said someone on YouTube trying to sound like him.

 

[droid]

It doesnt sound anything like AFX. In structure, form or intent.

 

[version]

I feel like you're both trolling me now.

 

[craner]

I think that one is gorgeous.
