IS IT WASHAPOLL? - ILM ARTIST POLL #57 - AUTECHRE - RESULTS thread

spl9 is a bomb.

As someone who got into Autechre at the time of Chiastic Slide, worked my way backwards through everything before that, and listened to everything through Confield before hitting a wall and barely listening to them for the last decade, I've been really enjoying this poll - I didn't feel remotely qualified to vote, but I'm listening to everything here and wondering why the hell I haven't been listening to them since about 2003.

this is true for me too, and i did vote without being remotely qualified. i suspect it's probably true for a lot of people coming at them from a similar place. something about how the internet and electronic music broke open post-2000 made what ae were doing not as exciting as playing catch-up or getting into various areas of "realer" shit for dilettantes like myself. i agree it is very pleasant to pick them up again and realize that they haven't necessarily changed anything about what it is they do but aren't stale, they've grown with the music and it can still sound very exciting even with the relative duds which seem pretty subjective anyway.

Krib = Carrib as in Caribbean as in steel drums

It's also a fish

Of the cichlid family

Wah!

does anyone rate or care about the album sean booth did with mika vainio and kouhei matsunaga (nhk) a few years ago

Looking at some reviews, nope. I don't really care about the hafler trio stuff even though I bought it.

its not really going to appeal to idm people

which is a good thing

its more like asmus tietchens later stuff than rephlex

its not like the hafler records either, those are fairly unexceptional drone stuff although i should probably revisit them

idm people drive like this

was listening to all the stuff from the rly early EPs to place here of late. it's cool music but doesn't hit my intense synaesthesia zone quite hard enough rly - back on cap.iv now and yeah I mean

maybe the early stuff needs perseverance as much as the later stuff tho

I think the latest thing I voted for was from confield. Some of the later stuff I find perverse, even grotesque but mostly I didn't vote for it because I just don't care about it. I became more of a homo at that time also although I'm not blaming rob and sean for that although Sean is cute.

it needs appreciation of dope phat and/or tight beats iirc xp

thats what i referred to in the prior post, a lot of people here voting heavily for the 90s idm period when autechre defined that term more than were defined by it, and a lot of that was very good music so it's not really a pejorative lest anyone consider a wounded another response

lol jed i also became more gay after confield thus developing an aversion to electro

haha.

there is at least one track on the early lps that deserves consideration with their later works and which will probably appear here

but do you agree that Sean is cute, more to the point?

xpost (or is it?)

got that north face swag

truth

sean, as above, has crazy messageboard sass. enough for me.

i'd north his face

I think this thread could use some focus.

28. Draun Quarter - 97 points | 3 votes | 1 #1 vote

is this the one nakh was talking about i wonder

Probably not, since it's from Envane (an EP).

oh he said LP, ffs haha

i know which one he means then

who's gonna hang draun quarter then

yeah i actually meant to write ep
envane i got to go back to
mostly envane/chiastic/cichisuite seem quite of their time
they remind me a lot of that late 90s stuff on the scaruffi poll
sort of very 'crunchy' early software music era

I think this thread could use some focus.

I think it could use some sass

IS IT WASHAPOLL? - ILM ARTIST POLL #57- an autumn tea dance, 2014

*vogues*

Loving the thread - lots of stuff I've not heard enough. Krib is my highest to chart, if not the only one. I've only had a couple more that I placed low down.

What are the early LPs, the first two? Cos I placed a few from the third quite high and am still expecting to see them.

Oy, this is a serious thread, take your flouncing to the Radiohead poll.

jks obvs.

27. V-Proc - 99 points | 5 votes

my #12

the build-up - the first 2 or 3 minutes - is absolutely extraordinary. the rest is just celebration laps really

V-Proc is unstoppable! Seriously funky

i once mixed it into Parliament during a set - that's how funky it is.

it maketh one to pop the body

just catching up with the poll. vose in really should have placed higher. what i love about lp5 is how clean it is. they manage to rinse a ton of emotion from these actually quite simple saw-tooth wave forms on this one. something about the way the 'melody' wraps around those chords.

yeah

voted 'second scepe' very high, it just, i never get tired of it. the click-it sound makes me shiver.

oh shi i meant second scout wah wahhhhh

maybe anvil vapre will all make it!

Scepe is the unsung hero on Anvil Vapre IMO, with that spooky vocal sample getting cut up in a way that is very reminiscent of the Garbage sound.

(Bad Vilbel gets most of the attention, of course.)
