I'm looking forward to the 2cd ltd edition because it will contain 11 selected tracks of Quaristice but edited/remixed with a total play length of 68 minutes!!!! There you'll have your longer versions! source

Man, I listened to a few Autechre songs a few months ago and I just didn't like them. Maybe I'm not hearing the right ones. I'll give it another go.

I used to really hate Autechre couple of years ago... and all of a sudden it just clicked and i'm hooked ever since...

Yeah, me neither.
Im not listening to the album till it comes in the mail though.
Then I shall roll one up and hit a country road, late at night.
I think I shall be alright, the desriptions sound nice, they dont mean nuthin tho.

I know for the 2cd limited edition. I wish I could afford it but it's too late. T_T

For people who want to discover Autechre, there is only one thing I have to say:

<center>"CHRONOLOGICAL" </center>

nothing more, nothing less.

Does anyone hear what the voices say in IO?

This is true.

>_>

I started with Untilted and worked my way back.
I found it easier to digest the Chiastic Slide - Untilted stuff, and Incunabula - Tri Repetae was instantly likable.

As for Quaristice itself, I'd say it's just worse than Draft 7.30 at this point.
I think the 'meh' tracks outweigh the good tracks, but in the second half it gets really good.
My favourite songs from Quaristice at the moment are WNSN, chenc9, Theswere, Altibzz, plyPhon and Simmm.

And if you want that list of Ae albums in order of favourite to least favourite...
Untilted
EP7 (I call it an album >_>)
Inculabula
Tri Repetae
LP5
Amber
Draft 7.30
Quaristice
Confield
Chiastic Slide

Don't take anyones opinion on Autechre seriously....they are ALL DIFFERENT. I've seen all of their cds listed as the best, and all their cds listed as the worst on someone else's list.
Go with Aesthetics and start from the earlier material and progress with the band.

i started with tri repetae and lp5 first... then onto amber and incunabula. i was really weary about getting myself into confield.. but when i finally did, i loved it. getting into ae can be a daunting task, but just keep reminding yourself... its just music, and these guys are smart, they know what they are doing.

Yeah, I just listened to those from that radio show clip. I'm really diggin' it!

should get the flac, shut all the windows turn on the ac and crank quaristice...its like an alien world

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2008 3:18 am**

After intensive sessions of Quaristice listenings (9 listens, in fact), I officially adore the album! The tracks flow together perfectly.

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2008 3:51 am**

I think I would put this up with Tri Repetae++ as one of my faves. IO, parallel Suns, WNSN and Theswere are tops.

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:52 pm**

I listened to it...

its....AWESOME :shock:

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:38 pm**

Definitely a headphone album. Sounds of the real world encroaching on this feel all wrong. Loving the run from 'Simmm' through to 'rale'. I've always leaned towards their less experimental tunes anyway (Tri Repetae, Amber, LP5).

headphones??? æ bass is best cranked up i would say...but to each his own i guess

Okay, best is speakers cranked so you can feel the bass and headphones to make an enclosed sound world.

Fair chance my neighbours would kill me if I played most Autechre that loud though.
