speaking of autechrelike artists I have to repeat myself repeat myself.
If you make music with softwares, granulars, modulars, bits, pieces, it´s
very often compared to autechre because autechre is one of the most known
band in the genre. this is a problem that a lot of artists has to live with
because people will always compare that kind of music with ae. actually
there
will probably be this kind of talking if you just make music. sometimes
people
tell me that the things i make reminds them of the works of schematic, i´ve
never heard anything from them. and fatcat records thought that one of my
songs sounded
like the "ausen vor ep"....what ep? havn´t heard that either...it´s hard to
make
music that hasn´t been done yet...
but the thing that pisses me of is this fucking idiots that is trying to
come up
with the same kind of songtitles and making homepages, and recordcovers that
is
totally ripped of from autechre...it seems they try to be autechre...and
these
artists often gets pissed if you compare them to autechre...but they have
themselves
to blame....strange huh?
and about me saying that all "idm" artists sounds like ae, this was just to
see peoples
reactions, but i did get a few tips of what to look for, for example i´ve
never heard
atom heart...i have the other albums from Uwe, since i´ve been a big fan of
him since 1992
or something...

well, they're a lot better at making Autechre music than most of us :)

true. one of the interesting parts of making music is the music-maker's
tastes coming out in the music. whenever i hear some really crappy
general-midi dance-track, i always wonder "did the person making this
actually think it was good?" it's sort of an odd situation, really, but
some people hear autechre and just hear a jumble of noise.

speaking of autechre comparisons, i think the funkstorung comparisons have
died down, mainly with that new album (that didn't seem to get the best
reviews...). it's good that they've developed into more of their own
sound, but it's too bad more people liked them when they sounded like
autechre... hmm...
