Ivy Zemura yvI oo ii oo Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 With most AE releases they seem to each fit into a sort of segment of various genre based categories Incunabula, Amber -Oldschool braindance Anti EP, Anvil Vapre, Garbage, Tri Repetae -A bit more intricate and ambient oldschool braindance Chistic Slide, Cichlisuite, Envane -Far more intricate and moving away from danceability LP5, ep7, Peel Session 1 & 2 -More texturally and rhythmically intricate extension of preceding genre Confield -Metallic coldness Gantz Graf -Metalic WTFness, similar to Peel Sessions Draft 7.30 -Maximum textural depth in catalog Untilted -Maximum percussive depth in catalog Quaristice -Maximum ambient depth in catalog. Short liveset-like snippets Oversteps -Metallic but melodic ambient. New take on ambience different from Quaristice Move of Ten -Wooden or plastic I think. Like Confield but reversing the percussion and ambience/melodies' roles Exai -I really have no idea what Exai is.

Root5 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 My first post about Exai was something along the lines of this: First impression: "This is a lot of messy FM with aggressive Hi Passing" Second impression: "This is funky as shit!" I think that sums up Exai's genre about as well as any short statement will. Of course, there's a lot more to Exai, but it would take more words to describe.

Although the lumping together of albums and defining of their sound genres will ultimately be a subjective decision, Autechres catalogue generally does seem to follow the pattern of how you outline them here. Interesting take on Confield/MoT relation, not seen that one before! In regard to Exai I'm still a bit confused too. There is a sense of over indulgence in the sheer amount of music (maybe would have been better had they released Exai as four EP's instead). Also Exai seems like it's about indulgence over innovation. Despite all its hard hitting sounds and bravado, it never really sounds groundbreaking (within the world of AE) IMO the last time they sounded groundbreaking was with Oversteps.

Ivy Zemura yvI oo ii oo Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 What I'm saying is in most releases all the tracks seem to have some similar feature in their style or composition. Confield is cold and metallic. Draft is texturally rich and warm. Quaristice is squelchy and ambient Exai doesn't seem to have that from what I can tell Is this really hard to comprehend lol Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/81764-ae-album-genres/#findComment-2110773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 It's pretty subjective though. I think Confield is far from cold and metallic; it's like an alien organism or something.
