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

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.

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.)

21T. Stud - 110 points | 4 votes

this is getting a bit closer to the essence

not sure i even remember what recury and stud sound like, but i love the first three of those. drane2 is their answer to bouncing bucephalus ball. leterel does that cool chord thing they do that i like.

"Leterel" used to be my favorite just because I used to be dead-simple to impress with strings. Plus, that wheezing percussion.

I was so proud of liking "Drane2" in the early '00s.

"Stud" is cool, it always sounded like a metal chain rippling across asphalt.

"Leterel" used to be my favorite just because I used to be dead-simple to impress with strings.

lol, yeah me too.

stud is cool actually... not really what i listen to autechre for, but it's got a nice stalky groove.

god i used to love the strings in leterel, otherwise its a little bit plodding and diagrammatic
cant imagine how great it would have sounded in 1995

jeez have people forgotten how to enjoy trip hop?

really surprised stud and leterel got more votes than rsdio too

here are some tracks i voted for

vose in - for me comes down to the melody. just one of the most straight-up beautiful songs (riffs?) they've ever written. especially the killer synth solo 3:00 mins in. and the part where it all falls apart at about 3:40 sounds really incredible on a system with a good soundstage. sounds bouncing around in the room in 4d.

flutter - i remember when this came out i was pretty blown away. it's got a beautiful melody and amazing drums. and at the time i couldn't have told you this but it's like the first "skittery beats" autechre i heard (presaging lp5 sound) and also some of the earliest stuff i might tag "drill and bass"
