Autechre GESCOM

GESCOM!

We really never talk about Gescom in this here Autechres forum. So I figured it's high time we had a place where a man can come in, sit down, and have a nice discussion about the Gescoms. Anyway, the best Gescom release is very obviously ISS:SA. And the best track of this Ep is very obviously Slow Acid. I feel quite certain that Sean and Rob are solely responsible for the content of ISS:SA. I mean, if you take into account that at least 3/4 of the ep was completed four years prior to its release. And who else could do Slow Acid but the Autechres I ask you? But I mean ISS:SA is so great. And recently, I have really been appreciating Tangle ILL. Really a great track yes yes.

Anyway, what tracks do you people like? And which ones do you think are the work of Sean and Rob? I mean I was listening to Go Sheep a few nights ago and I really liked it, but I am not sure if it is the work of Sean and Rob. What do you people think?

Also, A1-D1 rules. But I bet Sean and Rob didn't do D1. Maybe though. I told ism to ask Sean what their involvement in this release was but I don't know if he did. I hear some Ae type stuff on A2, a little on B1, C1, and the end of C2.

my favorite gescom records:

- SKA007

- SKA010THIS

- SKA002

I reckon ae did all the '1's - A1, B1, C1 and D1. I'm more certain about A1 and B1 than the other two, though.

Gescom are the bomb, Mag was probably the first Ae related tunes I ever heard, on Coldcut's 70 Minutes of Madness mix back in the day. Didn't find out until years later they were connected to Ae.

My favorite is ISS:SA, but Key Nell and the This EP are quite excellent too.

I did. Just for you.

Answer was slightly vague as one would expect, but did reveal some facts nonetheless.

for the record, my fave Gescom release is The Sounds of Machines Our Parents Used - Puzl is cracking.

Simplicity.

Man I am pretty excited for that interview.

But yea, Gescom rules. And yea Puzl it the buisness. I love that opening beat.

On second thought, Go Sheep has similar synth sounds to those on the Speech remix. So maybe Sean and Rob are indeed responsible for it.

Gescom is so great.

That EP > Whatever (Tara remix)

The Sounds of Machines Our Parents Used - Go Sumo

This EP > Keynell (Ae remix)

I like minimalism like in Whatever and Keynell, it hypno-toadise me.

C1 is my favorite track by Gescom.

Sounds of Machines our Parents Used and Key Nell and the Ae Keynell remixes are my faves.

ISS:SA is hot too.

Viral Rival is hella hot.

IMHO A1-D1 was pretty meh. A lot of it sounds like they grabbed some breakbeats, fucked around with them for 1/2 hr, then called it a track

Yea the first Keynell Remix is not far off from Anvil Vapre.

In other news, whats the deal with Motor?

I like:

Cicada

SKFL2

Keynell 1

I love Slow Acid, might still be my favourite song of ever.

Keynell is amazing. Still not heard Motor, even though I own it.

lol wtf?

Need a sodding turntable!

oh ok lol.

Well, when I first heard it I was like, wtf? this doesn't sound like the gescoms or the autechres at all. Just a little bit on motor 3.

wtf talk more about Gescom you freaks.

When I went home for a little during Christmas. I went for like a walk or something and when I came back my father was listening to my Ipod. I looked to see what he was listening to and it was ISS:SA and I was like lol wtf awesome.

skampler - stoop

my favourite gescom track, so nice.

skampler - stoop

my favourite gescom track, so nice.

I just ordered the vinyl of ISS:SA to match the cd I already have.

Did it during my insomnia trance. Would have ordered more if a certain website wasn't being so gay.

Go me.

Man, I fucking LOVE Gescom.

Five

Mag (from C&D)

Viral Rival

Two Of

Slow Acid

Keynell 3

are my tracks of choice (but it's difficult to whittle them down).

Yeah Slow Acid is very much one of my fave electronic music tracks full stop. I love the Parhelic Triangle type haunting bells near the end - and hence i concur that this track was almost definitely Sean et Rob...

I reckon GESCOM is Autechre's unreleased back catalogue of tracks. Given the recent tour set i start to wonder just how much these guys have on their Macbook Pros that they haven't released, or just how much further on from Quaristice they have progressed....

Yea, I am gonna tell sean and rob to release a dvd or something of unreleased material.

I reckon that all of the ISS:SA album was Sean and Rob considering that all the tracks except Slow Acid were played live by them four years before their release. And Slow Acid just sounds so much like Autechre that I can't imagine it being anyone else. But yea, I think it is generally pretty easy to tell when Sean and Rob played a large part in Gescom tracks.

2 out of the 4 tracks off iss:sa were played during ae's primiverasound set. this confirms that ae are indeed responsible for this particular release.

Kool Rook....you can ask them while getting that soundboard job....!

It would be more like a 25 DVD box set special edition along with a book entitled "The Secrets of Autechre - An autobiography by Sean Booth and Rob Brown" and it would cost 777 cents or 444 pence or something electronic music like that...

I'd take about a month of work to check that out...

Both ISS:SA and Tangle ILL were played live 10-10-1999

Tr2a was played live 11-5-1999

yea I think I read that COIL was planning on releasing a large quantity of material on a dvd or something. Just seems like a good idea. I mean, some of the live stuff really has no buisness on a release I think, but I mean Live at the Flex in 96 could totally be a mini LP. As could live in NY in 2000/Vancouver 98. Actually, I think they ought to release a box set of one live set from each era. Though I doubt they still have the sources for all that since I know that they did not record them. Not to mention how awesome it would be to get a cd quality version of MCR Quarter, which I am sure they still have somewhere in there studio. I bet they still have source material for most of their stuff from 98 or so on. Before that, I doubt it. Except for some outtakes and stuff which would be cool to hear but I doubt they would release them.

the man behind label said Motor was done by Rob Brown single.
