The melody of LCC

It's awesome.

I've always thought it sounds a bit cheesy (sometimes that's a bad thing, but sometimes I can dig it), it definitely throws the song for a loop. But I absolutely love when the song mellows out from there (the bass at 6:30)

I love it when it's right in the middle, stuff going on with the reverb, sweepy synth action, lush

somewhat forgot about the melodic bit, it's really good

I always really liked that part, it feels as if it establishes Untilted as more of a melodic release, seperating it from the harsher prior albums.

I'm not sure what you've been listening to, but Confield and Draft 7.30 are very melodic. Untilted is one of their most percussive, least melodic releases ever.

confield is hardly melodic :undecided: I agree about untilted being mostly percussion driven though

yea it is a good part. i don't find it cheesy, really, if you mean the bit at 4:53. the bit at 3:47 is a little, but i think they were going for something a bit raw and under produced with this album, and to me it works. (in fact i would say the spareness works on this album in ways that it doesn't always work on quaristice.)

confield isn't melodic in the sense of zippy leads, but it does have a strong synth section. it probably isn't the 1st word i'd use to describe it tho.

confield, for me, redefines "melodic"

On Confield, VI Scose Poise and Eidetic Casein are both melodic. The other tracks not so much.

On Untilted, I'd say just LCC is melodic. Surely the focus on the others is the rhythm.

HOLY SHIT I NEVER NOTICED THAT MELODY BEFORE

I TOUGHT I WAS THEO NLY ONE

if you hear a succession of musical tones then its a melody. ok.

its always come off a little cheesy to me as well like a child randomly twiddling on a keyboard. doesn't make it a bad song just a little jarring for me personally, i prefer when it gets to the end and turns kind of scary and more of a minimal melody

The melodies on Confield are not as immediately obvious as those on Untilted, in my opinion. And the fact that Untilted is heavily percussive doesn't make it non-melodic. Ipacial Section has a melody that is highly percussive.

You don't think the melodic content of VI Scose Poise, Cfern, Pen Expers, Eidetic Casein, Uviol is immediately obvious? Maybe we're not listening to the same Confield. I had to get really wacked on acid to hear the melodies in Untilted.

I'm too busy listening to Ipacial Section to listen to much else of Untilted

asif parhelic triangle isn't melodic?

right, people are arguing semantics over the technical and the practical definition. technically you are right, but practically people say something is melodic when it has a lead section, more often more pleasant and present than obscure and challenging.

ae music challenges semantics not technicalities, therefore they have won.

glad you're willing to concede mate lol

When you bring up the argument of melodic/non melodic Ipacial Section is an interesting subject:

It blurs the line between melody/percussion, as do many Autechre songs but I think its fantastic that for alot of their music it would be very difficult to categorize all the sounds into melody/percussion. Its just music.

melody and percussion can easily be one in the same, since there are elements of tone and timing in both.

4:00 - 4:20

that melody is just embarrassing; hate that part...so corny

i always have to fast forward to 5min mark where it gots good

Don't a great deal of their melodies sound like this? Particularly the ones in A minor?

The best part is right after that melody when the bass kinda settles in and they add a good deal of punch to the kick drum.

about 5:20

Sends shivers up my spine every time

they were just feeling white power with the a minor songs.

and yes, ae does often sound like kids playing around, i think it's a combination of their lack of training in traditional melodic music theory and they need something simple to go with the ridiculous beats.

4:54-5:20
