How do you guys listen to them?

I listen to it with my ears and like the bits when it goes click click clickity clickclick and then some cool happy synth comes in like WHUUUUMMMM WHAAAAAM.

Basically Cap IV.

Amber-Tri Repetae are of interest to me as a glimpse into a particular era, but not particularly enjoyable for me to listen to. It's everything that came after that I love, starting with Chiastic Slide. Confield is a portal into a whole other world.

To be fair, I think I've long outgrown the need to feel like I'm "in another world". That's a very teenage thought but yes I think we all went through that when we were young. Now I feel more like everyone's more or less on the same page as me, except that I have anxiety issues which means I very rarely am able to acknowledge this.

 

In other words, I don't feel like am an "alien" any more, just someone with a lifestyle and culture that not many people tend to fit into but most seem to understand.

 

Sorry, off topic, just wanted to clarify that :)

why are you so obsessed with the 'teenage' stuff..

like wtf. can adults not feel 'otherwordly' feelings from music?

what in the FUCK?

interestingly Amber has gone from my least favorite to probably my favorite. or among them.

Amber is deep.

6852 is pure sexy time music.

I love Amber. But I started with Amber, skipped most tracks, deleted the files, and wrote Autechre off as boring. Then I tried Untilted and it clicked.

ahhh Untilted. Ae at their most energetic and playful. Been really digging The Trees these days, a somewhat overlooked song on this album?

it's overlooked by me cause i don't like it that much

on the other hand i was really enjoying fermium for the first time on my crappy work van speakers. still sounds annoying on my nice PC speakers though heh

i get pretty bored during silverside and glitch.

Funny how some tracks can be token differently by different persons, they are both in my fav tracks with foil and nine, listening to it loud at night with a lava lamp is a true pleasure. Amber is still my preferred autechre album

A valve amplifier or preamplifier and some colored lights, lights can bring so much, blue lights for Amber, seriously, this is bliss

Could be much worse they actually look better than my crappy speakers, I've had the same old music center since 1999. I tend not to bother to upgrade until the dam thing actual breaks, but I would like to start a whole setup from the bottom, including an LP player. I'd love to listen to st epreo and os veix3 on vinyl. Not to mention Untilted!

i pretty much hate you and your sweet headphones

edit - asshole

Bose is terrible.

I only listen on my

Bose is expensive for what it gives, B&W is good

i bought autechre. they play live for me on command

apply elbow patches and sell them to a university for $$$

i listen to them loud, whilst my local Belly Dancers get messed up on meth and crack in front of me.

I've slowly been getting into them over the last year or so... I'll listen to stuff, meh over it. Then relisten a few months later and it works for me. I thought I was finally getting into them properly when I got the EP set, but now I realise I haven't listened to them in over a month.

Owell. They're the only real IDM band I /regularly/ listen to.

if you have a hard time getting into the albums then try the lives sets

personally I prefer the newer stuff

Confield I normally listen to lying down in semi dark with earphones. Always a very special experience.

Oversteps I find goes down especially well in the late hours, last hour of contemplation before bedtime

The other albums/ep's I have no specific way of listening to
