Is Autechre out of ideas?


Recommended Posts

Nothing after Untilted showed any real interesting melodic or beatwork ideas. It's all just sort of more-of-the-same. There's a few cool tracks on Move of Ten, but it sounds like they're just hopping on the unquantized-Dilla-glitch bandwagon every producer under the sun is doing.

 

They should do a guitar and piano album or something, maybe work with an MC, something to get some fresh ideas going.

Yeah, man, Autechre should just get into making mainstream hip-hop and harsh noise albums at the same time.

What they should totally do is a Moby collaboration.

 

Or Paul Anka. Either is good.

I don't get a sense of excitement or enthusiasm in their music anymore. I think Confield has it, I think Draft doesn't. I think Untitled has it, I think Quaristice doesn't. People will disagree with that, but most will agree that there's a feeling of Autechre scratching at the surface of something more in Confield, Autechre sound inspired and creatively free.

 

I don't think Draft is like that. It's almost down to earth.

 

Oversteps sounds bored by itself to me. Move of Ten less so. I really like some of the tracks, but already I'm bored of them.

 

I don't want Autechre to do anything other than what they do, but their attitude is 'yeah we'll keep making music as long as we enjoy doing it more than doing other things', when I want it to be; 'we're really excited about making more music that's not like anything we've done before'. But after more than 20 years of doing it, maybe that's not possible.

 

Aphex Twin is the same as well. Like he's spent years excited by the possibilities of experimenting and is now past all that, and now is just making good, melancholic, emotional music but which fails to inspire a response beyond 'yeah, it's alright'. I mean Analord and The Tuss, of course. And I do really like them. His best stuff for me is his experimental music, which he says of what he puts out in the Aphex Twin name, because to me it sounds invigorating and I won't ever tire of listening to it.

Why? You're fucking with us right? Because working with an MC is so fresh. LOL Guitars AND an MC? I would never forgive them. Why not just listen to Limp Bizkit, or maybe just kill yourself. I'd rather do that.
