I think those are good but nowhere close to GOAT. The tracks are extremely noisy and that's not my type of electronic. I'd even wager that the last song you posted outright sucks.

This is my speed.

Oh. No wonder they're not my thing. They're IDM.

Dubstep and bad trap aside there is tons of AAA+ electronic stuff today, really think you're off base there

I realize electronic music encompasses a wide range of qualities these days, but when somebody like Autechre puts out an album, it's like everyone else should shut up and listen to the wise, old electronic artists. But just like back in the day, Autechre is a hard sell since they put in plenty of undanceable, noisy, abstract tracks and passages. And because of that, it'll get the hipster label, because noise is "pretentious," i'm sure.

Himu · « **Reply #10 on:** February 07, 2013, 01:08:44 PM »

I have appreciation for unorthodox compositions, I just don't have appreciation for music that sounds like noise.

Himu · « **Reply #11 on:** February 07, 2013, 01:12:16 PM »

See now that's a great song.

Gantz Graf however fucking sucks.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2013, 01:16:20 PM »

That one's on Chiastic Slide and is possibly their most melodic tune of all time. I'm not sure how that's an example of difficult-to-appreciate noise music.

but yeah, Amber, Chiastic Slide, and Oversteps. That'll give a great overview of their music without getting too heavy into noisy, formless Autechre.

tiesto · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2013, 01:31:06 PM »

I'm more into the 'dance' types of electronic music (house, techno, d&b, trance, etc) but every now and then appreciate more of the abstract, IDM-esque flavors. Autechre is one group that I'm sad to say is a pretty big blind spot but I'll definitely be checking the videos linked while I'm at home.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2013, 03:36:54 PM »

I just realized Aphex Twin and Autechre are some of the only musicians the other could safely be equated with.

If you can sit through and love a whole Aphex Twin album, there's a great chance you'll love Autechre too!

they're not even trying to, man

Autechre is more my thing, but Tiesto and Autechre have two different goals, so I wouldn't really compare them ever.

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** February 07, 2013, 04:57:30 PM »

Aphex Twin is pretty good but I always preferred BoC, Four Tet, Orbital, Brian Eno, and Lemon Jelly.

Himu · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2013, 05:02:24 PM »

Kraftwerk of course; Tangerine Dream, yes, but in limited exposure. Klaus, no.

Favorite Kraftwerk:

Klaus is good but you really have to pretty much sit down and listen to them through as albums/symphony type deals

This is fantastic work and further explains why I think electronic, when done right, shares so many similarities, in terms of song structure, to classical music. The other one I'd say does that the most is jazz.

This song just makes me want to lay in bed with my eyes closed and listen to the ENTIRE ALBUM. Grabbing when I get home.

Me too! Got stoned with some friends, someone put on the Orb...a whole room of us had our minds blown that day.

I know this is like their hit song, but I couldn't get enough of this for a year or so (and not the album version, had to be this one. Song starts around 2:40):

these days, i'm not quite as hot on it outside of nostalgic value.

People get into Aphex vs. Squarepusher arguments sometimes so if you've not fucked with him at all you really should, man. Just be warned that dude sometimes veers off into horrible stupidness like an entire album of bass solos.

And yes, Autechre is quality.

from what i've heard of the new album, it pretty obvious that when they dug through their old shit to release the "EPS 1991 - 2002" compilation, it left an impression.

:dap AUTECHRE - fuckawesome - PURCHASED

Just FYI, the URL was malformed in your initial post; I've fixed it here, you may want to update.

Lastly, if ANYONE here is using an iTunes account which is not the same as their physical location, the AUTECHRE page link will offer to have you change your iTunes Music Store Region, and default to "OK" instead of "Cancel," which normally I appreciate, but not today. Fixing it is a piece of piss, but the button which is the means of restoring your original region for Japan just looks like a misplaced, red RECORDING button at the very bottom of the Store's front page. Good jon, Aple.

Hah, I'd heard of hrvatki before but had to goodle the name to find out where from. Dude did a Kid606 remix back in the day. This other thing here youtube pointed me to is nifty as well...

nudemacusers · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2013, 01:41:57 AM »

Hrvatski is kinda hit miss, but he has some stellar stuff. His vatstep remix on kid606's Down With The Scene is pretty dope (as is that album)

Also worth a look if you dig it; Venetian Snares

Trent Dole · « **Reply #39 on:** February 08, 2013, 02:07:11 AM »

Yeah, Down With the Scene is great. Practically nothing in that album ever just loops, everything is getting tweaked at least a bit here and there.

I remembered Vsnares without having to do any detective work. I should probly :nws this skelechairs video and not embed it cause it's a tad graphic.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #40 on:** February 08, 2013, 02:25:05 AM »

My man. I saw 606 live years ago in Seattle after the release of kill sound before sound kills you iirc That was a strange night for many reasons, not strictly due to music heh.

Speaking of disturbing vsnares, I totally forgot about the sex music with his girlfriend until now.

Fun dude. There was a whole mini trend of sampling the weirdest shit possible into electronic music for a while; matmos, Herbert, etc. I'm getting all nostalgic up in here :'(

Trent Dole · « **Reply #41 on:** February 08, 2013, 03:13:04 AM »

I saw 606 back in '03 and it was also a debacle for non-music reasons, lol. His set wasn't that exciting aside from him utilizing two laptops in tandem. DJ Rupture was also there (to this day whenever I see any news posting on him I'm kind of baffled as to why he gets any sort of attention/enthusiasm) along with Dwayne Sodahberk who wore a black t-shirt and since the venue just had a giant black wall/curtain for the stage rear wall he looked like a disembodied head and arms! Oh hey writing this I remember the 4th act was knifeedgechop, he just played back his stuff in cubase and smashed his brain to it. Impressive headbangery considering some of his beats. Liked Dwayne's set enough to go find something of his after. Aw, Rippin and i_skatr aren't on youtube. Ah well, those two tracks from the EP I have of his are both really cool, he opened his set with the former...

yes, the bass solos are pretty funny. He might be the last non-jazz artist to put bass solos on an album. They're pretty good on Hello Everything.

This Venetian Snares/Bong-ra EP is really good. Doesn't sound like either of them and not very electronic but great stuff:

Tetrisphere for the N64 had one of the best house/idm influenced game soundtracks, I think it's one of three soundtracks I actually hear outside of the games themselve.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #45 on:** February 12, 2013, 07:10:05 AM »

More Autechre

this might be the best track of anything ever...for the minute. Takes a minute or 2 to build up, then 6 minutes of awesome. The rest of the album, Tri-Repetae, is another classic. Came out in 1995. Listen to that track!!!!^^^^ Pretty dang forward for 1995.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #46 on:** February 12, 2013, 10:59:22 AM »

Hah, I was thinking of posting some TNGHT stuff... they have a really nice set online, but it's mostly hip hop kind of stuff.

and yeah, Tri Repetae is great. Personal favorite is Rotar. I kind of liked when they gave stuff titles rather than bad computer output text heh.

There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of Venetian Snares full sets in decent quality online, so I dug out my tape of him from 2005 and stuck it on Vimeo. About an hour long, stereo mix feed from the desk and pretty close to the bearded one. Hopefully someone here will enjoy!
