Autechre oval....

i wonder the lack of threads & few words on oval (m.popp)here, he do not release much these days but his records are still great (noisy, moving, complex, simple @ the same time). just weird, watmm has shit loads of threads like "ever piss while listening to autechre?" or nerdy craps or endless threads about ae's best records (still my favorite band tho) but almost nothing on oval. if he was on warp or planet µ i'm sure more people would get into his sounds.

big up to the oval!!

ovalprocess is nice album.. and its the only one i have. i think i listen to it about two times a year.

yeah its a good one, & the first one with that process (kind of generative music) but still not my favorite (scenariodisk?), no: that old one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...1975713-7778350

its 2 cds for the price of a drink!!

a bit sad that oval seems now a bit forgotten...

well you see, i heard oval on warp 10+3 do remix of squarepushers big loada and it was terrible so i never pursued but if you say its good then maybe ill have a look.

oval has produced my favorite electronic music! i am really into them,since i saw a video on mtv back in 1995 or 96. anyone remember amp? played saturday nights from 1-3am>? what a great program,,,

well i like this remix but most oval pre1998 were process of kind of ambient sounds (Systemisch trx [done in 1994!!] are reworking/ process of aphex SAW2), while later he worked on layers of noises, brass, guitars sounds but still melodic.

god yeah, ovalprocess 94diskont and systemisch are fuckin mindblowing

today i was smoking hash and a bird outside started improvising along to "do while" and "shop in store" , it was well wicked.

old news (recorded in 2002)

but :

http://www.ina.fr/grm/#

then go to "web radio" > "reportages de concert" > "saison 2006" > "Présence électronique - 10/06/06", you'll get an mp3 with a live extract (edited) from markus popp

i just hope he'll put out some some new record, he has been quiet these days.

one of my favorite albums

oval is amazing. |

im still trying to wrap my head around how he did ovalcommers

its like noisey distorted bursts of constantly changing timbred synthesizers doing melodic ambient music, a very interesting combination that works wonderfully. It is too bad a followup to commers was never done because i think that album is perfect.

Dok is also a good work, although not my favorite, 94 Diskont & Wohnton were very groundbreaking when i heard them. Wohnton i think was one of the first electronic/rock crossovers i heard that resembled what Radiohead later did.

just checking out this So album now, had no idea this was out!

ah ah, its funny coz i was in a awesome record store today, saw the LP compilation "girls & breakcore" from GIII & i also saw so :

sorry dude but i bought the 'so' one instead (that i'm currently enjoying)... what a stupid name 'SO', try to buy this album from a online store (like amazon) & good luck...

anyway, yeah ovalcommers needs its follow up... me too the first time i heard ovalprocess, i was suprised by the melodic/noise "natural"or organic progression.

& it looks wicked

Yeah, bought this a few years ago. Very warm and strange. Thrill Jockey sent me a promo poster for it as well. I have it on my wall. Very nice album artwork as well.

ah ok, coz there was a poster in the sleeve mentionning farmersmanual, sote etc... so i thought it was the vinyl version of the GIII compilation.

its weird because there were 2 cds i couldnt find in online shops : the "ensemble" one on rephlex & the "so" one. both are quite similar in terms of sound & if you type either "ensemble or "so" on amazon, you'll get 2545866 answers like "art ensemble of tobago" or peter gabriel, kenny rogers or megadeth.

i heckled from the front row of a very melancholy jim o'rourke solo gig

"YOU NEED MARKUS POPP!!!"

(markus handled the glitchy electrics on gastr del sol's awesome "camofleur" lp)

to which o'rourke countered

"no - YOU need markus popp buddy"

what a faggot

i :heart: oval

I only have 94 diskont. And I honestly dont listen to it that much. I mean it is cool and all. But I am rarely in the mood for it. Is there one better than this that I should try??

the So album has a japanese singing in french on it. I find it to be alot warmer than most of the Oval stuff.

ovalprocess + commers are big improvements on diskont, though different than 'do while'. great stuff. very warm and raw

hmm, all his releases are pretty different from one another

i would suggest for his more ambient works check out Ovalcommers

if you want something a little more poppy that laid a lot of ground work for glitch music in general check out Whonton.

just checking out this release, it doesnt sound nearly as 'fresh' as as anything else hes done. A lot of this guitar processed gltichy ground has been treaded by Chris willits and fennesz many times over.

Me either, it's awesome! Definitely need to check more of his stuff as well- I only have Diskont....

Amp was a great show. I remember a great video that just showed footage of people looking at stuff in a flea market/swap meet (carboot sale for you Brits in here) and have never figured out whose video it is.

orbital - i love that video - can't remember which track though...lush maybe? pretty sure it was off the brown album

amp was awesome, i heard my first autechre on there.

I also saw the Coldcut video Natural rhythm on there which blew me away at the time (And stll does frankly)
