Don't say that because an angry dude might appear saying they've responded to drane2 themselves with super overrated scratching track aka drane3.

Release anal bum? Don’t mind if I do.

The future of Autechre:

Autechre = Soundboards

Gescom = Albums and EP's

I can deal with that

each time rdj releases a proper full-length album their relationship worsens a bit 

so they're on okay-ish terms then?

"Emotional melodies" lmao

I swear someone asked about this in AAA and he said they'd never just release soundboards because albums and live shows have different purposes and energies, but I can't find it. I asked if they'd ever give up albums and Sean replied "we do albums cos we like making albums, it's prob cos we spent so much time as kids compiling things into long mixes and so on, still do", so there's definitely been an enormous change since then.

To be honest, with the live stuff always being largely original material, it does make sense for them to just release them, but personally I'd definitely prefer either the 'editing and compiling the best bits into an album' approach, or at least picking a particular set and chopping it into tracks and putting it out as 'the' release, with the rest of the soundboards as an expansion pack or something. In terms of the actual content, I honestly don't mind whether it's a live set or a collection of tracks from other settings, but it's the presentation that fucks with my brain a bit. Probably many of us here just need something a bit more obviously organised for our neurodivergent brains to latch on to, rather than just "here's seven hours of unnamed stuff, enjoy!"

If you're on slsk you may, perhaps, be interested in "krems lyon albumized" which is the two titular shows chopped up into 16 substantial tracks with beginnings and ends (beginnings are usually on interesting transients and ends are usually 15-30 second slow fades on stuff that sounds like a transition to the next bit), which are then rearranged into two pretty full CDs of 8 tracks each. Almost sounds like a genuine double album, and across both shows you're only losing about 10 total minutes of mostly transitional material, otherwise covering the majority of the unique "bits" in the new lives.

That sounds intriguing, I'll hunt it down. Something being a fan creation is also one of those things that seems to get in the way of full enjoyment, but it sounds intriguing and I'm curious to see how it flows.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't be surprised if they do end up doing something like that in the long run. Not saying they will, but I'm sure it's been mooted at some point.

It's definitely not perfect. It's not as cohesive as it could be with regard to track ordering, and a few tracks kind of have the feeling of "something came before this that I'm missing", but I think most of them work remarkably well as standalone tracks. And as far as I know none of them match up to the divisions you'll see on aepages, and they're typically a lot longer than those. An attempt was made to consider some obvious recurring element as a throughline for a single unbroken track, so there's some that well exceed 10 minutes.

There's one for the older 2022 material, "bergen albumized" that I'm not as keen on, mainly because I just don't really care for that or the 2016 era of lives tbh. The newest stuff is a "return to form" as far as I'm concerned.

ten or so years ago (or maybe 20, whatever)

> Ae: "we're not releasing live recordings"

> Fans: "shit shit shit, who recorded the live gig, where is the bootleg, what mic did you use, where were you standing, upload the flac, master it"

now

> Ae: "we're done with albums" / "here's 20 hours of live recordings"

> Fans: "albumise it!!! make tracks out of it! bend it like beckham, boooohooo bring the album back"

what a clusterfuck, I love it

It feels like they spoiled us too much.

These live sets are insane good. Playing it almost every day, even at this very moment 'MADRID'

If it is album or a live set. I am happy with it.

ive always been an album guy

I hope all this bitching and moaning doesn't further put them off the album format, or less inclined to keep releasing future sets. Ae manage to spoil their fans while still having the freedom to do whatever they want. 

I think SIGN and PLUS sound like albums made by artists who didn't want to make albums anymore. Seems kinda forced. The live sets are far superior. A whole lot freer and more fun, more creative and adventurous.

I would like both

albums and live sets

The only thing I don't agree with is that SIGN and PLUS do feel to me like great albums. It is just personal taste in the end.

But I do enjoy the live sets way more
