So there's been a lot of talk about the new dvd. But nobody has really commented on the music. How are the new tracks? Are they comparable to any of their past work? I hope they're not like anything from that miserable Confield album. Thanks.

I can't comment on the whole thing, but on the evidence of the only track I've heard, 'capiv', the lads are returning to form after the aberrations of recent years. alan/beyond...sound ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: www-mail.usyd.edu.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Has anyone else picked up on how people how say Amber is their best usually fail to appreciate ae? I think these people are rather stubborn or uncurious or lacking in patience to listen to the later ae, which imo are always evolutions, and offer many more interesting things than in Amber. basically I think amber lovers are narrowminded.

wouldnt it be more logical to assume that different people simply have different tastes? just because someone doesnt like 'new' autechre tracks doesnt mean that they narrowminded or deficient of hearing or something. they may just not be into it. it _is_ drastically different.

I'm thinking more along the lines of musical appreciation, not tastes. People will say that Amber is the best they've done and the rest aren't quality, and I think that is narrowminded. I realize that the Grapes of Wrath is a masterpiece but it is far from my favorite Steinbeck, its down there with Raise the Moon or whatever that propaganda piece he did for the government is called.

Not really. "Amber" is my favourite Autechre album, yet "Confield" is my second favourite and I really dig the stuff on "Gantz Graf". So, where do I sit on your sliding scale between narrow- and open-mindedness?

Well, you're missing out a whole lot of other possibilities there. After the likes of their "Artificial Intelligence" tracks, "Incunabula" and "Anti", I was already hooked on their sound. "Amber" was a very highly-anticipated Warp release. It was very much a case of 'the right album at the right time'. Arriving in November 1994, its gloriously warm cover (fluffy pink sand dunes), silver typography and more melodic, spacious production values, contrasted nicely with the harsh English winter of that year. For me, "Amber" is just as important a part of Autechre's ever-evolving style as the likes of "Confield" or "Chiastic Slide". "Tri Repetae" built on "Amber" just as "Amber" built on "Incunabula". I can't really see what all the fuss is about.

quoted 1 line basically I think amber lovers are narrowminded.

>basically I think amber lovers are narrowminded.

And suggesting that all people who enjoy "Amber" are narrow-minded *isn't* a narrow-minded attitude? My own personal theory for why "Amber" remains largely overlooked is that most Autechre fans came on board when "Tri Repetae++" was released in the States (just my own personal observation based on postings in this list around that time). Those who enjoyed this went back to "Incunabula" and found a much raw version of the Autechre sound they loved, but when they tried out "Amber", it didn't quite seem to fit in with the others. Then again, some people just don't like it -- but that's as valid a reaction as liking it. And so what if someone who enjoys "Amber" doesn't enjoy "Confield"? That doesn't in any way diminish their ability to enjoy good music.

They're very different albums sonically and aesthetically, so it's not really surprising. Amber is very similar to older-school IDM, like much of the stuff on Warp at the time. B12, Nightmares on Wax, etc. I do think it is a little myopic why anyone would think that the next autechre releases would sound like anything they've done in the past -- the only reason to pick them up, as a fan, is to see where they're going in the future. And that's sort of a different approach to enjoying an artist. Lots of times people follow an artist because the output has a consistent sound, rather than a consistent techique or signature 'weirdness.' Plenty of people buy an artist's or band's new album because they want more of the same; they really like the sound they heard before. Sometimes it just isn't the case, and Autechre are a case in point -- their stuff has "evolved" on each album, taking bits from the previous and expanding on those, rather than taking new bits and combining them with old consistently. I'm not drawing a comparison to Autechre and The Beatles, but they have the same camps -- people who like early Beatles don't tend to like older Beatles, and vice versa. They're different styles and types of music. Of course the albums in the middle tend to bridge the gap, but there aren't a lot of fans who like everything. I don't think it's very productive for either side, however, to claim that an album is "crappy" or "miserable" without providing a reason (for others to make an educated decision on their own). That's just trolling. derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

There's no peace to be made between the Amber/Tri Repetae fans and Confield lovers. The only answer that remains is for both sides to murder each others' children, bomb buses, and constantly yammer about how they're right and the other side is being unreasonable. We want to see blood. I mean, it's really worth fighting over, you fanboy cocksuckers, I'm not kidding. I mean, it's a great verbal argument, too, but don't you see that after SEVENTEEN BILLION REPETITIONS OF THE SAME EPISODE, it's time to escalate? Take it to the next level, or 'evolve' or whatever. Tom P.S. I find it hard to believe that anybody was being RUDE and BRAYING LIKE A JACKASS at an Autechre concert.

yeah. I think anyone that says, autechre must be cheap snobby and lazy for not having gimmicky life-preserver visuals at their show, never had a clue about their music to begin with at all. Anyone that thinks Amber is their best album, and shrugs off the evolution of Confield, doesnt have a clue anymore, anyone that would get the dvd and just skip to the videos with minimal interest in the tracks themselves, probably will never get a clue. On one hand, I am kind of suprised, but on another, I am not suprised by these benignmizings at all.

As long as they shut the fuck up and actually listen to the music, those sorts of people are fine by me. I've only ever attended one Autechre gig and that was ruined by some knob sitting nearby who spent the entire duration of the set talking about how clever Autechre were and how he had the ability to produce similar music at home. FOR THE ENTIRE SET! His mates were looking a bit embarrassed and were trying not to encourage him and everyone around him was like, "Shut the fuck up!" I bet that fucker preferred "Confield" to "Amber" too. -- Mark Stevens http://www.insertdisc.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Oh jesus christ not this fucking thread again. Basically I think anybody who wants to make decisions about peoples' open-mindedness based on what "AE" album they prefer is either compensating for their own "AVANT GARDE COOLNESS DEFICIENCY" or else trolling for hate mail. C'mon ... Amber's a fucking great album and maybe I don't LIKE the sounds of metal scraping on metal or decimated breakbeats as much as I like the "classic warp" sound? Is that narrow-minded? There's no rule that says you have to follow an artist down a path. I mean look at John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Coltrane went down the ASTRAL PROJECTION THROUGH EXTREME NOIZE road, wheras Miles Davis decided he wanted to pretend he was some sort of Funky Half-Assed Jam Band. Am I FAILING in some regard because I prefer 'A Love Supreme' to 'Ascention' and 'Kind of Blue' over 'Bitches Brew'? Sorry for the rant. Let's get back to talking about how cool "IDM" is.. . I think BOARDS OF CANADA sound like YANNI. Squarepusher's best album was HARD NORMAL DADDY because i really fucking love the WEATHER REPORT. Discuss amongst yourselves. asterblaster

On the Davis example, don't most people agree that Kind of Blues may be the best single jazz album in general, even the super jazz-o-philes, and not Bitches Brew so often? just curious, as I really don't know, I think Bitches Brew is technically fantastic, and interesting, but "Kind of Blue" is a desserted island record for sure.

i'll have to agree with that. many people tend to love ae's earlier stuff and say they've been doing shite after amber, of after chiastic. and concerning those whose fave is amber but with confield as close second, i would simply call them 'freaks' :) nah there is one thing that i can't understand. i've been listening to ae for a few years and i don't have the slightest idea about how much innovative their earlier stuff was, cause it's all been imitated and sound banal now. dunno if i'm clear. so it's difficult for recent listeners like me to have a proper opinion on old releases... /yann aka no_id p.s. sorry kingmob, i meant to send it to the list, not directly you so apologies for the double email :/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
