I'm new to the list, so please bear with my ignorance............
It seems to me that Autechre and AFX are among favorites here. I have
"I care.." and only like the first, fourth, and last tracks (strings, melody)
I also own "Amber," and only listened to it once when I first got it about
a year ago. You might think me a fool, but I found it to be mostly bleeps
and fx, it was OK-- but no real "songs." Can anyone recommend anything
melodic by these folks? Or at least something with a reasonable amount of
musical structure.
In my own defense, I am not completely ignorant of this music. I have
been listening to the likes of Klaus Shulze, Tangering Dream, Synergy, and
Jean Michelle Jarre for over ten years. Some of my more recent favorites
include Salt Tank, Astralasia, Amorphous Androgynous (FSOL), Optica, Orbital,
Cocteau Twins, Bel Canto, Banco De Gaia**, The Beloved, Oliver Lieb**(all
aliases), Friends Lovers, and Family, Syzygy, Spooky, Koxbox, Robert Miles
(Don't caugh!), Moodswings, and of course.. Juno Reactor***.
Considering the bands that I like, am I on the wrong list? Or am I
missing something. I know that a lot of what I mentioned is more toward the
side of dance music. So as a last note I will mention that I do have both
Apollo comps, and like them a lot. I also like excursions in ambience 1 and
2, and also ambient dub 2. And also "...from Heaven" by Manna is a very good
track from a decent disc.
So considering how fond you all are of Autechre and AFX, can you
recommend anything from them that I would like???
