I picked up Amber on virometal's recommendation, and have really enjoyed it.

Glad to read it!

New album in March for Autechreheads:

Autechre - New Album 'Oversteps'

 

[virometal]

I know there's a few - literally - Ae fans on Head-Fi. Just a heads up then: Oversteps has been legal on Bleep for about a week now.

Quite succinctly, I think the album is balls. Has anyone else checked it out yet?

 

[AtomikPi]

Personally, although I consider Autechre's first three albums, and especially Amber, to be true classics, I didn't care for their later work, so would it make sense to pick up their new album?

 

[virometal]

Man, I don't know how to answer that. It is their most melodic album in about a decade but still abstract in some places. I would say it could be Autechre's most representative work, a sum of all their pieces.

Warp uploaded a good sampler:

Everybody should listen to inculabula. It's quite simply one of the most important and outstanding modern electronic masterpieces out there.

Modern day Mozart if you will.

Tri repete++ with the garbagemx ep is superb.

Another fan here, this is my Ae fav followed closely by Amber and Incunabula.

-Thanks for the heds up viro, I didn't think the album would leak so early, I'm placing an order.

another headfier turned me on to this band. i have one album by them (Tri Repetae++, which is a 2CD set) and love it. i play it all the time. good sound quality too.

Can't disagree. I'm actually of the mind that Confield is the greatest experimental techno album ever made. For example, it had chip tune elements back in 01 for jimmny sakes and was completely leftfield. By then, Autechre had lost many with their weirdness however.

Not random, fractal.

With an online handle like mine I have to at least know about them

I like Amber and Tri. I got to play some tracks quite a while ago while DJ'ing at a club here. Spinning Laibach atm tho...

Well, I've heard the album...very positive impressions. They have veered much more toward the melodic and metered side of electronic music than I would have expected; given their prolific output around the time that Quarastice came out (they released about 4 discs' worth of material from those sessions) I thought they were still finding a balance between the more palatable 'classic' IDM sound and their algorithmic MIDI experimentations (which was basically all Untilted was).

My main impression was that it sounds more like a Sending Orbs record than a Warp record; the brightness of some of the synths as well as the quality of the melodies had a very 'Kettel' vibe to me. Actually, the new Autechre record is precisely what I would have expected the next Scone album to sound like (Scone is a collaboration between Kettel and Funckarma - everyone that hasn't heard their album Maze should do so immediately if they like melodic IDM).

To everyone that's been put off by their last 2 releases (especially Untilted), don't hesitate to give them another chance with this one.

Incunabula is just too damn good...those eery melodies

the friend of mine who introduced me to AE does brilliant music on his own...mix of AE/Aphex/BoC etc etc: dajhne on MySpace

he was strongly shocked by Amber, as you can hear

 

[Ynoskire]

I'm listening to Oversteps right now, and I like what i'm hearing. It may be blasphemy to some of you, but i've only listened to Quarstice before, it never really got to me. The addition of strings and actual melody makes the music so much better to my ears. From what i'm reading in this thread I should give their first albums a listen
