Autechre drive to get autechre to featured article on wiki

we've done lots of work in the last few days, spurred on by the webcast: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Autechre&action=historysubmit&diff=347809145&oldid=346929985

if anyone has any suggestions for the article i'm all ears

I like this bit

As with many artists, they have themselves raised questions about their earlier work, Rob Brown, in a 2008 interview with Pitchfork Media just before the release of Quaristice, expressing the opinion that, in retrospect, Incunabula and Amber sounded "cheesy".[17]

Although whoever wrote it divided two independent clauses with a comma, which is a no no. I'd suggest putting a period between "earlier work" and "Rob Brown".

Also, that's a top notch picture of them.

PS: If you want the article to be popular, why not play up the suspicions of North Face advertising, and invent a rumour about Rob Brown and Mira Calix having an affair. Everyone loves scandal.

Review by .exe. Mar 08, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

That's my favorite album of Autechre,it has interesting melodies and the percussion sounds are amazing.It's a reference for a lot of the IDM that we can hear actually and shurely it is on the genre classics. It is the culmination of his previous works that has good melodies, but percussions wasn't sofisticated enough, however, and personally, i lost interest in them after LP5, since i feel that they give more importance to experimentation than music feeling or sensibility.

Anyways i can understand that people like his latest works (even i have some of them), is just that i'm a melody lover.

i don't want the article to be popular. i want the article to pass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GA and hopefully http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FA

which is a completely different thing. i got dubstep to GA with two other editors, and there's a few of us interested in getting autechre to FA

edit: that sentence definitely needs either a semicolon, a full stop, or a hyphen.

Autechre are well aware of the incongruous reactions their work ellicits, saying that descriptions of their music "usually run contrary to each other"[32] and that "every time we have an album out, we get conflicting reports".[6] As with many artists, they have themselves raised questions about their earlier work; Rob Brown mentioned that Incunabula and Amber retrospectively sounded "cheesy" in a 2008 interview with Pitchfork Media prior to the release of Quaristice.[17]

better... eugh just spotted 'ellicits'. BOH

I'm not sure if this is very appropriate since the information is gonna age quickly:

On 13th January 2010, Warp Records announced Oversteps, Autechre's tenth album. Originally slated to be released in March, it was released a month early in digital form on Bleep.com to those who preordered it; the CD and deluxe vinyl editions are due to be released on 22 March 2010. A two month European tour is also planned in support of the album. The sound of Oversteps, as with Quaristice, is greatly eclectic, though it is perhaps their most noticeably ambient release since 1994's Amber. Autechre compiled a mix for the magazine FACT, released in February of the same year, that consisted of tracks by artists as diverse as J Dilla and Necrophagist.

+ some passages should be less subjectively interpretative

yes, people writing in the present tense ('xxx recently released yyy. it was awesome. only last week reviewer A said zzz') drives me NUTS on wiki, and that passage is also a little crufty. thx for pointing it out.

sweaty pits in the pic

eh, those last two are a stretch

3+3+3=9. that one sounds good to me, better than "the number 9 is used most"

yo I was the one that came up with all that shit about their albums alluding to their release order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm famous

 

though I'd like to add incunabula is latin for something close to ""the earliest stages or first traces in the development of anything."

the structure of a simple chiastic phrase is A B B A, i.e. four parts

untilted has 8 letters and 8 tracks

the number 9 appears in three song titles on quaristice, more than any other number

wasn't there a website with some explanations/theories on about their song/album titles? i don't have it in my bookmarks anymore...
