A Guide to AUTECHRE

Currently halfway through my first listen of the new(er!) one… definitely more rhythmic elements in there… and some 808 cowbell!!! Really digging it and feels there’s a bit of a Oversteps/Move Of Ten sort of relationship to how the 2 albums relate to each other. Suspect I’ll give this a couple of listens then go back to focussing on SIGN for a month or so, before concentrating on this one more fully. Need to take time to digest.

Like the tracks lux 106 mod and X4. Add them to metaz form8 from sign and you got a good 3 track ep. Not really feeling the rest. Sometimes I think they modulate stuff for modulations sake.

Yeah, I like X4 too

Hmm, hope the second release will catch me.
Honestly, Sign has been a bit boring to me so far. Hope it will grow though. Wasn’t a huge fan of NTS either.

A pity, I ordered the SIGN on Bandcamp.
What’s the offer?

Oh, it’s was just a couple bucks off. The Vinyl was $25, you get it for $22 with the “Ae discount” :slight_smile:

Didn’t even know about it, when I hit purchase it just came off.

PLUS bought. I just love these sounds!

A recipe for an Æ track I love is amazing sound design + rythm oriented + weird atonal melody-like sounds in the background.
Got to make more Æ-inspired tracks!

Makes me want to try to launch two players at the same time.

This has been done before, but I can’t remember who by right now.

Flaming Lips Zaireeka? My friends and I did that with four stereos. It was incredible.

I hope it’s true because compared the previous releases the mixes are desolate.

I can’t test it now because our internet is down. But with the convenience of streaming it shouldn’t be difficult to do.

And dammit artists should be doing it.

Sean: “how can we get more money out of these wankers?”
Rob: “split each song into half their individual tracks, sell each as a separate record, see if anyone notices…?”
