Peel Session Vol.2

ive been neglecting this good old set recently. all tracks are pure gold especially gelk and 19 headaches. kind of like a ep7 and lp5 mashed. i personally enjoy it more than peel vol.1 right mnya

i really like gaekwad when bass kicks in. john peel named all these tracks i think

I thought the listeners did?

Gelk and Gaekwad are great tracks, not wild about the other two.

I'm pretty sure that Peel himself named these, Gaekwad is named after a famous football (soccer) player or something. 19 Headaches is pretty self explanatory, this one always reminds me of a Wendy Carlos track.

like Gelk, not too keen on the others. Still have it on the shelf mind you.

Much prefer my dearly beloved Drane from sesh one.

Can we talk about this some more now plaz?? Been listening to this a bit lately. Gelk is straight up gansta all up the joint. Blifil is beautiful. Reminds me of sort of a Pen Expers mixed with Lentic but from the EP7 era. I love this one. Gaekwad I first heard from the Vancouver set. This is the song that probably got me most into Autechre. I had my guitar out at the time, wasn't really playing but put on the vancouver set. I realized that that version of Tilapia was wayyy tight. I started jammin along in e flat symmetrical. Than Gaekwad came on, jammed with that, and I was like, ok I need everything this band ever recorded. 19 headaches is my least favorite track of this release, but still worth a good listen. What a quality release. Better than the first in my opinion.

Oh yea, anyone know why Gaekwad is sometimes called Sqr Map???

was it this one where the listeners named the tracks as they played since AE didnt name them?

and john peel suggested 19 headaches because thats what he said the track gave him?

i remember someone telling me something like that.............

Am I the only one to prefer Blifil?

No, it's the track on the EP that first stood out for me, although I do like the latter half of Gelk (my favourite Ae title, whoever actually chose it). Not sure which session EP I actually prefer though, possibly the first.

i want to know who the famous footballer "GAEKWAD" is!

hows about that blifil/microphone fiend mashup from the coachella set!?!

hooray for AE's peel sessions! they're both excellent. As a late-comer to AE, I think of their release in terms of when they were recorded (1995/1999) rather than when they were released. Maybe those who acquired the first Peel Session when it was finally made commercially available the same year as EP7 had a unique reaction to it - especially those who pined for the Tri Rep days at the time.

Gelk and Blifil are my faves from PS2, but the last two are solid as well. (took a very long time to get my head around 19 Headaches, but this is Autechre we're talking about - there's always method to the madness)

anyone else notice how on the Peel Session 2 CD it says "29min/269MB" (i.e. the length/data size of the recording) but on the first Peel Session it says "74min/650MB" (i.e. the maximum capacity of the CD)?

Prefer Vol. 1 by far. Inhake and Drane are killer.

Same here. Milk DX :embrassed:

this was the only ae cd i ever bought, about 7 years ago, on a blind recommendation from someone on irc. i'd never heard them before, and i didn't really like it. not the best starting point, i guess.

i showed the bass heavy tracks (the end of augmatic disport, cecc, cfern, gelk, etc.) to some of my hip hop friends in cali... i asked them to find any hip hop producer who can top that... they ended up liking ae!

one of them noticed the audio 2 sample in milk dx!

Yea, if you notice, Gelk, Ccec, and Slow Acid have very similar underlying drum lines. Actually, parts of All Tomorrow's Linoleum has it to. I love it and rip it off all the time :embrassed:

Always a special place in my heart for Vol 2 because Gaekwad got me into the autechres. Along with Draun Quarter
