Favorite album?

I really liked their first three...something about the atmospheres of those particular CDs made them very enchanting for me.

What about you?

    Amber. No contest.
    I like the first three the best also. To me, they all seem to be the perfect mix of dance/techno and ambient. Amber just has this thing about making me want to drive out into the desert though. I usually can't listen to it if I have to work the next day.

      So far, I only have Confield and Draft 7.30.
      And both of them blow me away.
      I like how it's nowhere near regular electronic run of the mill stuff.
      Draft 7.30 is probably my favorite out of the two.

      amber is great..

      but..



      the reason i have more of an affinity for their newer stuff... is because it holds the most novelty.. and.. i think most of my respect for autechre comes from how they have emerged their style into less derivative forms of music and made their 'sound' into more of a 'kinesthetic' phenomena.. for lack of better terms, a.t.m.....

          I can understand that as well...I have missed the last EP or two, but I definitely see/hear what you mean. They are completely experimenting with the nature of dance/electronic music itself. Man, I wish I could have seen them live at least once! I've read articles from magazine interviews of them and how they treat their equipment. These are the kinds of guys who will add toggle switches to mainstream synthesizers so that they can further manipulate the sound waves while playing on stage. Absolutely mad, absolutely brilliant.

        tri repetae.

        I have to say that this record, along with the Aphex Twin remix on the Nine Inch Nails EP (which was not really a remix but an excuse, bless his heart, for Trent Reznor to turn the pop world onto him) and Aphex Twin's beautiful and quirky
        Ambient Music Volume 2 changed my life and I became an abstract electronic musician after 25 years as an a fairly straight acoustic musician.

        I still adore that record. It is funkier than hell but not a conventional funk CD.......it's very melodic as well.

        I'm with Julia, I love glitchy and aggressive stuff but I particularly love it when people mix the abstract with the melodic, especially when it is melancholic.

    Confield

    It has given me the strongest hallucinations of any music or album so far!

    Even years after the visions, it still haunts me so deliciously....

    (new to the tribe!! Autechre mega-fan.)

      I would have to agree with Confield simply because the track Uviol still puts me in that in-between zone, like I'm living in Blade Runner world having Opium dreams, I could really listen to that track all day.

      I don't think they abandoned melody, I just think their definition and approach have changed. The last track on Gantz Graf has beatiful melodies laced within.
