I haven't been called a noob in a while, you caught me totally off guard with that one. I think it's that my av has a juvinile-sort of element to it, but I could be wrong.

As a side-note I fucking love this thing ----> One day it wasn't there, and the next day it was!!!

have some cheese

I didn't used to like it, but now I really like this track. But then, I like a lot of minimal ambient music.

It's not just because it's Autechre. If this was a new band I'd still like the music - I'd admire its restraint and its beautifully cold, detached, relaxing atmosphere. In some moods I you can get in, even much of minimal ambient music can be a little too emotional. Perlence subrange 6-36 is present enough to have a nice effect on you and to change the atmosphere of wherever you're at, but not so present or active so as to get in the way or impose any specific emotions. It does that balance more successfully than a lot of ambient music I've heard.

Perhaps it could do with a little more of the subtle variations, though. There is a nice high pad thing that comes in around 22 minutes, never to return again. If the occasional glimpse like that had come back from time to time it would have been rather lovely. Still, a solid track from Autechre. I'd like more where this came from.

Now that I think of it, this is quite true. Alot of ambient music is just charged with way too much emotion. More often than not, this emotion is nostalgia, sadness, or loneliness. The problem with this is that you have to be in the mood to get down with those types of vibes. Just like you said, 6-36 has a nice balance and a good way of evening out the atmosphere without becoming too emotionally charged in any specific direction.

OMG no worries... Worth the 9.99 This album is the autechre i know and love....Mind blowing in every way, rhythmically, melodically, spiritually. The only thing better would be a *&%^SOUNDBOARD RECORDING FORM THEIR LAST TOUR^%&* (or maybe their next one)

amazing record U vinyl ordering fU(%3rs are lucky

Qplay = First time in a long time I've found myself LAUGHING with joy at the brilliance of electronic music...

I know everyone is Overstepping at the moment, but I feel Perlence Subrange36 deserves more love. I'm the last person to just love something because Autechre made it - and I've heard plenty of other droney experimental ambient music which has a lot more obvious variation than this ambient monster - but Perlence Subrange36 is fabulous in its own right. Like I said, it's wonderfully restrained, minimal, and cold/grey sounding, but also full of movement and subtle changes. There are these snippets of field recordings (?) going all the way through it that are often changing, and sometimes morph into weird atmospheric wisps that sound super nice on headphones. Luckily, I happen to love the main 'loop', and this shifts at certain points in small but satisfying ways. Unlike a small number of other Ae tracks, I don't feel they just bashed this one out quickly: it's too controlled and deliberate. It's also got a lovely overall sound or sheen to it.

I can understand why people would have been disappointed when they first got it - a 57 minute track that sounds like it hardly changes!? But, once I accepted what it was, I felt it was the best 99p I've ever spent.

I love Perlence Subrange. Some people just like shit to be song-y all the time. Meh.

It's wonderful to listen to while writing an essay. I listened to it twice in a row while doing my English final last semester (I got an A).

hahaha I love those moments. I had one during the last minute or so of Treale.

Out of all people, you're the last one I would figure would enjoy this one. If memory serves me correctly you shat all over Oversteps when the leak came out. I mean, if you can find the magic in 6-36 I can't fathom how you would miss the magic in Oversteps.

Although I think you repented your sins and confessed your undying love for Oversteps at some point in that enormous thread so yeah, its all good.

But Subrange 6-36 is amazing. Said it before, will probably say it again.

Easily one of my favourite autechre tracks. Nothing like it if you find the right situation to listen to it in. Catnapping while hungover is perfect.

adding this to my "tracks to listen to while sleeping" playlist

Come on 'Soul. XD You know how varied us Ae fans are.

I like Oversteps much more now, but Perlence Subrange36 occupies a very different territory to my ears. Oversteps may not have many tracks with beats, but it's not ambient in the way Perlence Subrange36 is. It's got obvious (obvious as in you can clearly hear them), constantly developing melodies on bold, chimey synth sounds for a start. Perlence Subrange36 is subtle, deep, dark ambience. A very different beast. :-)

Sometimes I wonder if people listen to, like, Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D minor, and are all "zomg there's no percussion! IT'S AMBIENT!" nowadays.

Take the wood clock out of perlence subrange 3 and sloooooow it down. Pretty damn close to 6-36 no?
