What the fuck happened to these guys?
Julian Brooks
Jaxon Gomez
They created music that's gravely more abstract and rhythmically complex.
Cooper Young
The recent stuff is only a bit more "gravely abstract" than their middle year tunes.
I'll be fucked if Tri Repetae isn't a masterpiece some thousands of years from now.
Cooper Barnes
>muh modulars
happened
Cameron Reed
but seriously though, their output is pretty good
Jordan Stewart
Yeah I guess you're right, Elseq and its segments could fit comfortably into the Draft7.30 and Confield camp
Dylan Anderson
They use Max/MSP, idiot.
Isaac Rodriguez
BoC>Aphex Twin>Autechre
Kevin Rodriguez
Why even rank them? Whatever the fuck came out on Warp during those years was fucking amazing.
Jaxon Morris
Move Autechre to the front and BoC to the back and you're right.
Julian Brooks
I got you fired up a little bit at least
Joseph Gonzalez

Levi Murphy
Seriously retarded if you think Autechre aren't significantly more important and talented than all those.
Levi Lopez
this board seems to hate au anyway
Luke Bennett
plaid's importance is understated
Benjamin Morris
>Autechre
More like boretechre xD
Lincoln Reyes
I mostly think it's just because most of AE's works aren't as easily palatable as say SAW85-92 or Geogaddi. The only two albums that could fall into their camp of accessibility are Incunabula and Amber.
Ayden Thompson
Wow, people weren't kidding when they called Autechre cold and clinical. I'm listening to Tri Reptae for the first time and it just sounds like bleeps and bloops and glitchy screeches played in rhythms. Which is neat, but it feels so... flat and simple, even though I'm guessing the rhythms are anything but simple.
Brandon Hughes
Pan Sonic>Autechre
Austin Brown

Explain yourself, cunt.

Thomas Nelson
I think I tried Tri Repetae early on too and I was so turned off by them because I couldn't follow anything-- it just sounded like monolithic mass of glitchy breaks and hi-hats.
If you are interested in getting into them, chronologically is definitely a great start. I absolutely love them now and find their music exceptionally emotion instead of robotic and impersonal like I did initially.
Oliver Lewis
Monolake>Autechre
Luis Lopez
Seconding this. I had Amber somewhere for years (pre-Youtube etc) before I knew the name. It was a generically named folder. Would listen to it once in awhile and walk away puzzled. By some chance a streamer was playing Eggshell and that's where I re-discovered them.
Cinemascope is a great album to drive to. But I also like Autechre.
Aaron Russell
Autechre is unironically the best music duo of our lifetime and will be remembered as some of the most influential artists of all time.
Samuel Long
autechre are unmatched with their live sets, no one even comes close
Gavin Foster
At the expense of sounding like a fanboi - some of the later albums like Oversteps etc really need time to connect with.
Dominic Gray
While I do like Autechre I think a lot of their melodies are weak and many tracks outstay their welcome.
Matthew Gomez

Greatest track on Exai
Gabriel Jackson
You put that shit on in the background while you focus on doing work.
Angel Thomas
Ae are way better than afx or boc
Kayden Flores
Columbine school shooter music.
Jack Johnson
objectively wrong opinion
Lincoln James
>people refuse to start at ae's first albums because muh backpackambient
They're fucking great, stop trying to jump in at Tri or Confield.
Joshua Brown
Didn't another thread declare ae to be normcore?
I'm confused, help me.
Nathan Baker
cringe
Blake Gonzalez
Ae aren't nearly as normcore as Aphex or BoC. Autechre are popular but consistently make music that is decently inaccessible.
Dylan Torres
Oh thank heavens for a moment there I almost had a panic attack.
Ryan Williams
Define normcore
Benjamin Nguyen
Personal favourite: youtube.com
>WATMM losing their shit over this track
John White
Autechre > Boards of Canada > Aphex Twin
Are you guys even listening?
Cooper Howard
incunabula and amber could probably be considered normcore but if you think autechre is normcore or accessible in anyway, you're seriously out of touch
Dominic Jackson
Did you forget this?
youtube.com
Shit like that was broadcasted on TV channels.
Christopher Harris
yeah ofc I remember this, staying up late to see/hear all the crazy stuff that was on mtv is a fond memory. this was on rotation with other music videos like rubber johnny and smack my bitch up super late at night because that's the only time they would show them. you never ever saw this during primetime television
Joseph Nelson
Ah the good old days.
I find it hard to believe Aphex or BoC are for normies considering how little effort either have put into trying to stay relephant.
Especially BoC.
Jacob Morales
aphex twin's name got dropped in a frank ocean track
