Well, Autechre ARE quite good.
I know Amber is pegged as easy listening by many thislisty people, but I
like the fact that I can put it on just about anytime. I don't need to be
"in the mood' for it. Garbage, Anvil, Vapre, EP7, and parts of Confield are
much spikier. Confield dirves me nuts because parts are quite sweet and
contemplative (tho' still machine-like) and other parts are just ff'n
insane.
These are the greatest Ae releases (IMHO), in no particular order:
Amber
Tri Repetae
Chiastic Slide
(note: I don't own Incunabula)
Also, beware of artists syaing they don't like this or that release of
theirs. Most of the time, they don't know what they're talking about ;) I
know Ae have said they don't think much of Amber, that they got too into the
new bits of gear they had recently acquired. WTF! I'd say that's more
applicable to their current output with its superabundance of tortured
squelches and such.
