Yeah it would be great to know who made those tracks.
Definitley better than all of the other hoax MP3's
that are floating around, and in my opinion the last
few Autechre releases. What confuses me is someone
posted a review of a promo tape he recieved a few days
ago, with the same tracklisting and pretty similar
descriptions of the music contained therein. Who knows
maybe if this person were going to the trouble of
mailing out a bunch of friggin cassette tapes they
might be wise to withhold thier name in case of any
legal backlash from Warp or Autechre for that matter.
Something about intellectual property or something.
Copyright laws?
I think there are two different types of IDM
listeners. One group listens to IDM in a more
technical sense, listening for new
sequencing/synthesis techniques and music that pushes
the boundaries of electronic programming capabilites,
whether or not the results are neccesarily coherent or
cohesive. The other type listens to IDM as pure
asthetic gratification, caring less about the process
than the ability of a track to infect ones auditory
senses in a pleasurable way. (This is of course all
subjective, which I guess creates another group, or a
mixture of the two. Beauty is always in the eye of the
beholder).
My point bieng that since possibley ep7 or lp5 AE has
been releasing material entirely appealing to the
first group, leaving a lot of people in the second
group pretty dissapointed. It would be nice to hear
something from them that took a little more direction,
and didn't SOUND like computers spewing out a bunch of
randomized parameters, time signatures and harmonics.
I mean if they could get all crazy experimental and
have it sound good, that I would be happy with, and
actually would probabley give them more artistic
props. ep7 is a good example of that, as well as the
second peel session and a lot of thier remix work.
Well thier track on the pool party mix doesn't sound
too promising as far as my tastes go, but from what I
gathered from an interview I read about them in xlr8r
a year or so ago, these days they really aren't all
that interested in the listeners opinion anyway.
