Autechre definitely has a place in most anyone collection. I'm a big fan of ttv, their album fahrenheit fair enough is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the reminder! - have the Anti EP playing now. Very clever stuff.

Also a big fan of The Black Dog. Spanners FTW

 

[MoodySteve]

Electronic fan checking in.

I'm more a fan of early, analog-y Autechre although some of their recent creations are quite interesting and at times delightfull menacing (see 'Tankakern' on Quarastice).

I'll toss Plaid and Yimino into the 'if you like x try y' mix.

Well, you just met MoodySteve. I think that's about it for Head-Fi. There have been a smattering of Autechre threads throughout the years.

 

[httran]

I love Autechre.

I just checked that, and boy, quite some output over the past couple of years - need to investigate (have Radio Scarecrow, at least, and it's not too shabby). Interestingly (IMO, at any rate), it seems the original trio parted company in 1994, when two of them went off to focus on Plaid. So, not having any experience with them, it seems I need to look into MoodySteve's recommendation as well.

Anyway, looks like the recent Black Dog releases are by the remaining original member (Ken Downie), plus Richard and Martin Dust, who own the "Dust Science Recordings" label. I wonder whether they are the guys who threatened suit many years ago when the Chemical Brothers were originally named the Dust Brothers... (heads to record cabinet to find "If you kling to me I'll klong to you").

/ Ambient trivia ends

Not familiar with the soundtrack, but no, it is the Dust Brothers who, it seems, are yet another pairing based in LA. See Dust Brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and in particular the "Note" at the bottom which closes the loop.

I should have researched this a touch better before posting...

Oh I wasn't recommending any of their later stuff; haven't heard anything save the mentioned Radio Scarecrow, which I was thought was okay, nothing more. Let us know if any of the other recent releases are worth checking out. I'm done unless someone slobbers over one. There's too much music in the world.

If I had to pick a favorite Autechre album, it would be between Confield and Tri Repetae. I'd probably lean toward the former right now. That sucker blew my mind when it was released.

 

[ForeverProvence]

Yeah, I really like Autechre's dark, obscure sounding tunes. Electronic music appeals to me greatly and other groups I listen to and recommend are Boards of Canada, Amorphous Androgynous, FSOL, Biosphere and not forgetting Global Communication (their 76:14 album is a classic).

 

[Akathisia]

I love Autechre's album Tri Repetae++, which is really the only album I have heard. I wish I could find a copy of this album but I believe it is out of print. The track "Eutow" gives me chills.

 

[Micheki]

I admire Autechre's work from Amber to Confield. Lots of depth and detail going on there.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

I like their early material the best. I hate hate hate their experiments with random-based rhythms. That's just antithetical to whatever it is I am "about". Gantz Graf was brilliant, though.
