/mu/ - Music

Personally, I've always found Autechre to be boring.

I've tried listening to them many times, but they're always come off as a worse version of Aphex Twin. Some of their songs in the exact same style, like Nil.

I agree. I only like the their oldest albums where they still had some techno semblence with actual beats and melodies, now it's just a big max msp wank off.

This. I've listened to a few Autism albums and none of them really brought me in.

Since this might as well be a "techno guys from the 90s still releasing music" thread, has anyone heard the new u-Ziq album? It's another comp of unreleased stuff from around the time of Royal Astronomy.

when i saw that came out i realized I never listened to any of his stuff beyond Lunatic Harness (which is great)

I'll grab some more of his releases when RED hands out tokens again

His early albums are good if you're into that real expiremental early sound, especially In Pine Effect where he began to show some more skill in composition. Bilious Paths is another good album from the 00s, he went full on into the harshest DnB possible. The track Meinheld is such a fucking banger every time I listen to it.

I saw them live on their last tour, it was a music performance, not club music. They did a lot with the use of headroom in the house PA, they played most of their set at 50% volume capacity, and then a few moments of 100% on the bass, which was really amazing because most electronic music is very, very flat.

I'm into Riddim because its fun at live shows, but everything mostly sounds the same, full of poser producers, format music, etc. Electronic music as a whole is getting boring, too much ease of use, too few talented people get the exposure and funding they need to grow. It just rich kids having fun on the weekend, or poor kids starving until they give up, or maybe make it for a few years (3%).

>implying the order is important in these lol so random comics

That's the thing - they were & are brilliant. But, that era has also come & gone. I've heard a lot of people say they're disappointed with their work now, I'm indifferent to it, it's not what it used to be, but for a fan, I still enjoy it. My overall point though, is that your peak can't last forever. Any artist from any genre will, at one point, hit a wall. The next gen should pick up the torch, and there are certain artists that are trying to do that, but unfortunately it just hasn't come to our attention yet. I believe that it will.

I don't know about that, I always found Aphex to be Autechre's retarded little brother. Not knocking him as an artist, he's great, but not at Autechre's level in terms of intricacy & texture.

Aphex Twin does a huge variety of genres whereas Autechre only do a handful, so it's not fair to compare the two.
