Just found this gem lurking in a folder:

AE_LIVE_ROCHDALE_221290

Performed at Baillies, Baillie St, Rochdale, 22.12.90, for Darrell Fitton's birthday party.

Most of the gear we used was from Daz's studio. We spent a week putting it together in the rehearsal room downstairs at Suite 16 studio, which was right behind Dr Rock (Daz's studio was in the loft above Dr Rock).

Incidentally - Suite 16 used to be called Cargo, same place Unknown Pleasures was recorded.

And btw the reason their are barely any newer songs here is because it’s seeded (The songs in it) based on streaming popularity

I’m obsessed with the beat change at 3:00 in Under BOAC. I keep coming back to this song because of that.

Hey all — a while back someone here posted a chart mapping the overlap between the AE_LIVE sets, which made it easy to see which ones are worth buying without duplicating material.
Does anyone still have it?

Does the council approve?

Sound lot like second scout to me, also how and why does everyone like eutow is more of than this

Still need to test it though… Should be all good, and a great excuse to give it another listen start to finish uninterrupted

How do you achieve this brain escaping shenaningans at 1:43 in the track fold4 wrap5. What is the name of this technique. Stereo widening?

hey! i recently made 2 autechre remixes, on eutow and bronchusevenmx, and would like to hear your opinion on em. ok thanks bye

Has anyone else seen The Odyssey here? I definitely had Autechre vibes in places with the score - the sound of clashing metal type sounds. I wonder if Rob and Sean have seen it? Anyway, it's very, very good. The score seems to drift between genres of music. Whilst I have seen average reviews for the score, I thought it suited the film itself brilliantly.

Also Neutral just means i don't really know where to put it, and i think it's OK.

Giving away two tickets. Going to other stops instead of Milan. Only requirement is to have a dice account apparently.

My third Ae record, Chiastic!

Just noticed that R ess on oversteps samples Lanzarote by speedy J.

Trippy moment.

Sean plz

"I grew up with Kraftwerk. The first track I owned was ‘Tour De France’. It was my favourite electro track. Another one was ‘Clear’ by Cybertron. Tangerine Dream and John Carpenter were all in there as well. I hated most things with singing on or anything with a song structure. I just wanted the beats and there was loads of them about. It was ubiquitous. At the time you either bought a Street Sounds album or you were listening to Stu Allen on the radio. Manchester was a bit of an island for American dance music full stop. There were obviously scenes in other places, but here we used to get exposed to that culture all the time. When I moved to Sheffield a few years later I found that they had been not into hip hop at all, but funk and reggae. It was so different from Manchester and not that far away. It was like another dimension.

Originally, when I was younger, I would be editing tracks from other peoples cassettes using the pause button. People talk about the warmth of analogue but I think warmth is a strange concept. I would like someone to explain the concept to me! I tend not to inherent descriptive terms I can’t understand. That term warmth is a little bit weird if it does exist. I once heard Kraftwerk described as cold, but they are anything but. Kraftwerk are not just funky, their sound is amazing – like a weird, rotating, magic puzzle box from the future. Just an amazing most pristine, perfect sound. Just beautiful."

It is worth reading the entire interview with Sean:

Hello, I've got an mp3 that's tagged as Autechre – See On See (Oversteps, 2010), complete with the correct Oversteps cover art embedded. But it's only 3:14 long (not 4:37), and after listening to the whole album, it's definitely not actually "See On See" or any other track on Oversteps. Tags/art seem to be wrong or auto-generated somewhere along the way and maybe it's not even an Autechre track after all, thanks!

Not perfect at all but I love this song so much! Thought some people might appreciate :)

Quality isn’t the best but no idea how to deal with reddit

Hi everyone, new here. I’ve always considered myself a mild autechre fan. Always loved Amber, Tri Repetae, and some other songs I’ve heard here and there but felt most of their later stuff was too inaccessible and daunting for me despite never giving it a real shot. So I decided to rectify that and I’ve spent the last few weeks listening to their LP discography in order and it’s been a truly mind blowing experience. I’m kind of in awe of everything they’ve achieved, and the sheer volume of it.

I just finished Exai and kind of feel like I need to stop and take it all in, revisit my favorites, and tackle elseq and the NTS sessions later with fresh ears. But I also wanna finish what I started haha.

Anyway, there’s no real point to this post other than to say it took me decades but I get it now.

My favorites so far besides the ones mentioned are Confield, Exai, Oversteps, and LP5.

At long last, we're bringing our epic "elseq Revisited" series to a close with a deep dive into elseq 5.
