Guest Super lurker ultra V12 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 because you should listen to those albums backwards so they'd have a silent ending, duh Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/36424-why-do-some-of-their-albums-begin-silently/#findComment-785376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spraaaa Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 one time I started listening to draft 7.30 loud enough so those little white noise sounds at the beginning were perfectly easy to hear, when the rest of the beat started I noticed they didn't actually stop but were kind of flowing with it and getting folded in and out, it was awesome.

Guest moo duck Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 excluding extravaganta artistic approach, it is clearly like everyone said, now my turn, it is hint for listener to listen maximum closely. some layers are not less important than lead sections, but they need to be very deep into texture, so it's just a little reminder.

Salvatorin Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I just noticed that the start of Pontin's Holiday Park, after the early techno thing, the beat clangs around in the silence before getting loud....just like the start of each album...

oyster Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 For some reason I love the introduction to LCC/Untilted, it would actually make a good ambient peice or texturaul peice if it was expanded on.

I did that with gantz graf and almost spontaneously combusted when the beats started.

Guest hahathhat Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 the first ten seconds of an autechre album are always a hi-freq hearing test. if it's quiet, you're going deaf, get your ass to a doctor Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/36424-why-do-some-of-their-albums-begin-silently/#findComment-792283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Arctandem Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) If you really boost the beginning silence on Gantz Graf, you can hear the beginning of the song, just 'muted' (but not really), before it starts a second time. Apparently in the original it just started without the silence, but somewhere they decided against it.
