New Autechre _5 albums

So, mostly they are very intellectual about all these things and not visceral but don't want to come to terms that this is really their slant. That is the point that annoys.

Hope they don't feel ashamed that I listened to their music while showling hay in silo, working down on the farm

I chop firewood to The Orb's Blue Room

That's cool, really. But it isn't what i was getting at. I was thinking that having your cake is one thing but eating it is another.

But now that you mention it, the listener is afforded this luxury. Maybe the artist should be too?

i dunno, but it makes a good case for artist being obscure or off topic in interviews. know what i mean?

I've always found it highly puzzling that new or unique ideas are ridiculed by many and yet the endless recreation of the highly familiar is somehow applauded like it's something to be proud of. I would like someone to present a convincing argument of why that should be so.

This comment made me rethink my original judgement.

I'm still not a fan, but I do applaud the pushing of boundaries.

[lectrixboogaloo]

Their occasional appeals/allusions to real techno are ok..

Because it's more familiar?

not really. when i was saying it was 'ok', i didnt really mean it was 'ok' as in 'all good'. more as in mediocre. not even in a charming way, to me. but it's just me.

but, like brussel sprouts, as much as i would like to like their particular flavor i just don't and even find them slightly offensive. i guess that's ok?

anyway, 'familiarity' has nothing to do with it.

by any sort of judgement they have succeeded in being controversial, which is always better than not succeeding at all.

[lectrixboogaloo]

anyway, good for them. or good on them?

Another very curious observation.. You seem to be again implying there is confusion there because they're not making music that is familiar to you.

ok, last one. i thought it was obvious that i was implying that there is some confusion there on their part. nothing wrong with that, well executed.

Do Oasis dress like they do because their hardcore fans dress like that, or is it the other way around? I think both are shaped by each other...

I think every band/project that has been going for several decades establish a special relationship with their fanbase in one way or another.

i've bought, dubbed and downloaded every possible great and terrible hendrix everything i could. i know what you are saying. i don't dress like him (jeezus) but you're right. still, you know, he was very obscure in interviews...

what i can take away from this is 'eh, i don't care about this band much' = 'eh, don't comment'

i did know better, though.

I'm starting to wonder if you work at Warp, and are laughing all the way to the bank

The rest is either too much or too little for me...

i've felt that way about some of their previous albums then 2 years later put one of them on and finally "heard" it and it was the best thing ever sort of an "oh duh.. i get it". not experienced that too often in the music world. it's nice when it happens though.

^It happened to me too (not particularly with Ae), but it's extremely rare here. In more than 95% of cases, if I don't like something now, I won't like it a few years later either.
