I don't recall hearing anyone say "I love the new autechre because it's, of
course, autechre, and I love all autechre!" I've heard plenty of "i hate
it because autechre's been around for more than 5 years and anything that's
been around for more than 5 years is bad!! listen to new stuff!!"
I think the point is that, before posting up a first opinion about
anything, let it seep in a bit so you can form a rational argument. Saying
"I hate this! it's boring!!" just adds to the noise on the list.
I don't know what your post is saying. So you hate
autechre. Yeah? and..? I hate a couple things too.
To all the people saying "there's more out there than autechre" - duh. I
don't think we'd have a list if there wasn't :P There's also more to "idm"
than the latest and greatest "hit artists," and autechre's put out a lot of
very influential records in their, what, 7 yrs on warp?
Frankly, I haven't been buying most of the new stuff that comes out because
the reviews have been really poor quality here. It seems people are
content with just lumping things together with "childish melodies," "noisy
breaks," "sounds like autechre," or some other idm-catchphrase, instead of
offering an honest *review*
Most of the "critiques" of the new autechre album sound just like what
non-idm people would say. "there's no melody or words, and it's just
strange sounds plopped together." isn't that every idm album? :P
cheers,
