Autechre The arrogance of AE

do you really think that live sets and home listenings are the same context after saw them 3 times??

obviously the music isn't going to be as sweet if ae aren't actually in front of you pumping the huge PA subs. i think that as a release, an ae live set would hold up at least as well as any other album they've put out.

shit i already consider pontins an ae release, like a dancy intermission between untilted and quaristice.

listen to any of their live tracks and U have to agree that they are not releasing their best stuff..Why IS the question...

because they are too embarrassed now a days to release music that is not up its own ass with a stamp of 'difficult listening'

I guess that's true, in a way - I wouldn't say embarassed but reluctant. The lives are pretty straight forward good stuff but perhaps they would consider it a letdown if a new album wouldn't be revolutionary or further evolving the style. I can understand that actually... also I like the overall composition of the albums better. But yes, it would be just so easy for them to put some of the live sets out on a bonus disc or something, like Quarisversions (or like the extraordinary vacuum track disc), and to make the fans happy. But then fuck the fans.

I think AE just always remember the mantra of "The fans are always wrong"

And I agree with that.

I did ctrl-f and searched for "Pontin" and found nothing.

whoa, they're playing a version of The PLC

I didn't want to create a new topic and I thought that it would suit well with "ae's arrogance"...so I post this here :

do you think it's really Booth commenting?

re op: maybe they want people to have a reason to come see them live. perhaps they regard a record as a place to be more experimental and as a nod to the audience give them something different, more repetitive and simple (while still very good) material suited to a club for the live show.
