So how're you liking the new Autechre? I kinda forgot it was coming out until last night and was pleased to discover they'd released the FLAC early. I'm really not sure what to make of it, myself, but it didn't stop me from buying a ticket to their SF show in April. Seeing them when they toured for Untilted was one of my top three shows of all time.
Sigur Ros's ( ) was actually interspersed with Frank Zappa's ' for me but it ended on ( ), so.
I can finally see them this year, and I'm so excited! I really loved Untilted, so it would've been hard for them to top it, in my opinion. Quaristice is pretty good, though. it's cool that they're doing some of the more ambient stuff we haven't heard since Amber. also, I love "Simmm".
I'm definitely reminded of Amber, too, which I have mixed feelings about in the first place - I know everybody loves that album, but I just can't dig it as much as their later stuff.
I've only given the disc two listens. I didn't really care for Untilted at first, but it's now one of my favorites. So I'm giving it some time. Simmm is great - reminds me of Gelk off Peel Sessions 2, which I love. I'm also partial to Tankakern, which was the point during my first listen where I really first noticed actual music happening. Everything until then seemed almost like background noise in comparison. Of course, there was remarkably more depth on the second listen. We'll see how listen three goes when I get back from work tonight.
You're going to love them live (I assume). For some perspective, the only shows I've been to that top them are Sigur Ros and Bob Dylan, and neither of those are really in the same category. They definitely beat out any electronic act, easily.
What I've found most interesting so far is the track divisions, which seem pretty arbitrary for Autechre's standards. I can't help but wonder if they just sliced tracks of their usual length in to smaller sections and gave them separate titles.
I guess one thing I miss on this one is the punch (read: overcompression) that Untilted had, but really from a fidelity point of view that was terrible. I suspect I just liked it because I can't afford nicer speakers. One thing I do love about Autechre is how much their stuff grows on you. I'm confident that I'll love this one just as much. I just need to give it some more listens in some more varied headspaces.
