a u t e c h r e



I keep missing these chaps in concert but have tons of their live gigs on the iPod - the Glasgow "untilted" one being escpecially good. Anyway here's an interview with them - they consistantly do very good interviews with none of the usual cynical "media-savy" baggage that so many have to spout. It's all about the music...

(Nice little-up to "burial" too.)








"Quaristice" Review:


Well I've listened to the album about 5 times now and am only beginning to detect its brilliance. This is classic Autechre.....the melodies and ambiance grabs you over time and it makes for such a rewarding listen in a sound-byte fast-food world. The atmosphere is warm and fuzzy and where is vocal elements its done in that lovely Autechre way of evoking a sort of interstellar friendship... sort of reminds me of the lost soul of the cpatain in the film "Dark Star" - haunting, melancholic, nostalgic. This album also give different impressions when heard through headphones or speakers - can't wait to hear the live version that autechre always do so well. Indeed a good chunk of this album has elements taken from their last live tour.
Oh i found a very funny piss-take review on youtube - after some poor chappy attempted a serious one - seriously flawed! Comedy gold if you dig the over-analysis of electronica that can happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sClke4ubuZk .
