*The Official Autechre Thread*

I listened to Gantz Graf earlier, and looked up the video on YouTube...there's an HD version up.

I got this EP/DVD when it came out in 2002 and was completely blown away watching the video for the title track on my friend's big TV. For those that haven't seen it, just wait till right before the 1:00 mark.

Gantz Graf FINEST VIDEO EVER MADE should be in the Tate Modern on repeat

Grotesque Head · 08-17-2009, 06:50 PM

A good song too.

Also I revisited Draft 7.30 just after Gantz Graf and found it very nice, considerably more soothing than Confield. Different environment, but I was reading both times so I think I was just as prone to being irritated...but I wasn't in the least. I really need to spend more time with both but those are my 'initial" reactions upon listening to them for the first time in years.

I've only heard Lp5 from them a few times when I was looking into them a bit, cause I read that was their best. Kinda different, but I didn't dislike it I remember. This was awhile ago though, so my tastes have changed a bit since. I might check it out again, or maybe Cornfields since that looks to be popular in this thread.

Nice bunch of extra's they've included with that purchase...especially the vinyl with the poster. I become more interested in vinyl everyday as I read these boards. ><

I find Confield to be one of their least accessible, personally. I'm not sure which I would recommend, really. Perhaps Chiastic Slide or Draft 7.30, though Amber may be the most accessible.

Great thread. Got 5 Autechre LPs and counting, also seen them live, terrific stuff yet so difficult to ascertain why, their (constantly evolving) sound seems to defy logic.

'Quaristice' was my most recent, really feeling it, especially the 2nd half. 'Tri Repetae' is probably my favourite though.

'Confield' is crazy, like all these fragmented breakbeats that seem to drop in and out. I liked a review on Amazon that said 1 of the tracks sounds like a marble rolling around on a sheet of glass. It does and that isn't a compliment. Very hit-and-miss record but the good bits are great.

Really love the last track on 'Untilted'. 'Sublimit' I think it's called. Similar vibe with breakbeats floating around, they're at their best when they sound pretty fractious and sort of "almost beat-laden" IMHO.
