Had to laugh when I saw this.... reminded me of a quote I once read by
Brian Eno when asked what type of music he was into these days. He
replied, "African Tribal Music and the sounds of highways being
constructed...".

My list reads much the same: Ae, Aphex,
Bjork, Orbital, FSOL, Fluke, NIN
(well, further down the spiral, anyway) and Tricky. What I've heard of
by Leftfield, Ruby, Photek and Tori Amos I like, and I also listen to
Mick Harris stuff (Quoit, Scorn), Tangerine Dream, Black Dog, some
Scanner, hia, biosphere, global communications (76:14), some eat static
stuff, pete namlook, chemical bros, prodigy, cranberries, a bit of air
liquide, spooky... oh I could go on for hours.

Pretty similar:
Bjork, FSOL, Orb, NIN, Photek, Scanner,
a little Tori, Portishead, Lamb,
Switchblade Symphony, Oingo Boingo (Hazzzahh! Danny Elfman!), Depeche
Mode, New Order, Xymox, Juno Reactor, Cure, Information Society, oh, and
of course Aphex Twin.
I found a few Autechre mp3s and i didn't
think they were really anything
special. Maybe I just haven't found the right ones.

Funny thing. I listen to most of those
bands, but I don't listen to
Autechre. Never heard a thing of them that drew my attention, so I don't
know the band.
Maybe I SHOULD check it out.

I think "TriRepetae++" would
be a good place to start. If you're in
America you can get the 2cd bonus version from TVT.. it includes on the
second CD "anvil vapre" and "garbage", two of their
short-form albums,
which are both so gooooood.

Well, if you liked 'The Destroyer' then
you'll like this. More distorted
jungle, yet a little more ragga influenced. I actually think this album
is
more creative and varied than 'The Destroyer'. Not sure if Grand Royal
is
gonna distribute this domestically. Incidentally, Empire fans should pick
up
his No Savety Pin Sex EP (DHR-Limited002). Kind of like Empire's take
on the
elektro sound. Great stuff.

Well, isn't that a toughie... What I've
been listening to the past
couplea months:
Photek, Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Mouse
on Mars, Squarepusher, Broadcast,
Mirza, Windy & Carl, Tortoise, Lee Hazlewood, Frank Sinatra, Astrud
Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Serge Gainsbourg, Section 25 (their spacey
stuff, not their New Orderish stuff), Jessamine, Bowery Electic, Unwound,
The Sea & Cake, Slint, David Sylvian, Spring Heel Jack, µ-Ziq, Brian
Eno,
Bowie (esp "Low" and "Heroes"), Can, Jessamine, Gastr
Del Sol, Return of
the DJ's Vol. II comp., &c. But mostly it's been Autechre, believe
it or
not -- for some reason, I've developed quite an attachment to them of
late, esp. "Garbage"
What can I say? It's been a weird couplea months...
Seth.

Yes it is appealing.... there are four LP's and a bunch of cool EP's
under the Autechre name.
I have most of their stuff.. I also run
an Autechre webpage:
(http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Lounge/8542/Autechre.html)
"Tri Repetae" is currently
my favorite, it was the first I'd ever heard.
Indeed I was very intrigued by praise I'd heard on usenet about the
band, and saw TR++ in the store, and bought it. If you haven't listened
to "vletrmx" on cd2 yet, turn out the lights and turn it up
for that
one. "Garbage" is great... I mean the whole second half of that
record
not just the track. I also like "stud" and "leterel"
on cd1
"Anti EP" this is a little
older I think, with a cyan cover and a black
sticker with cool "legal warnings" which only apply in Britain.
:-)
Anyway, this cd has 3 tracks. Thr first two are cool, the third
"Flutter" is one of Ae's best IMO. It has non-repetitive beats
in it, ie
no 2 measures are the same... it was done to prove a point (see sticker
on cover) but turned out an excellent song.
"Envane" - excellent, groovy,
a bit harder, click-pop stuff. Track one
is hip-hop for the first few minutes, and blends into a burbly kind of
orchestra, very very pretty. Tracks 2 and 3 are more hard, 3 being
almost like jungle and full of digital noise (like putting a cdrom in
an
audio player) awesome. Track 4 is my fave probably, beautiful at the
end, one of what I like to call "little-people" songs.
"Chiastic Slide" - Their fourth
album is really hard to describe. From
what I have been reading a lot of fans didn't like it too much at first,
and then it sort of HOOKS you! It didn't make any sense on first
listening, on the third listen for me it started to sort itself out. All
I can say is WOW, very unique, esp. "rettic ac" and "hub".
This is one
of those albums that "you hear something new every time you listen."
So
so much subtlety.
"Cichlisuite" - This is the
latest I believe, an EP of five new songs
(claims to be a "reconstruction" of a track off CS but there's
very
little in common.) This is a bit of a departure, the sound has changed
from CS (not as scratchy or noisy) and new things are in it.... I
absolutely love this little record. It's all mauve, very cool concept
art. The first track, "yeesland" is slowly climbing up with
"stud",
"flutter", and "vletrmx" as my favorite tracks from
Ae. This record is a
bit weird, a little more cheerful and bright than CS (and much more than
the dark opus that was TR++). Excellent, you can probably get it for
10-12$. Again, listen to it a couple times before judging! When I first
played Yeesland it just made no sense to me, I couldn't sort it out and
figure out the sounds. It merges tho, incredibly. I think it's their
Chiastic thing at work.
"Incunabula" and "Amber"
are Ae's first albums... I have never heard
them tho. I plan to get them very soon.

From: look@in.sig (Thin White Duke)
If you're a fan of industrial music, then you may find Chiastic Slide
even
more appealing. It's much colder and harsher than the warm, embracing
Tri
Repetae. I'd never want to have to choose between them, though.
Anyways, to answer the question of the
thread, besides Autechre my faves
are David Bowie, Coil, Einsturzende Neubauten, Pigface, Scorn, Skinny
Puppy, and Test Dept.

i find this amusing. when _tri repetae_
came out, everyone said that it
was "much colder and harsher" than _amber_, and the same comparison
was
made between _incunabula_ and _amber_.
i think they both have their moments,
but _chiastic slide_ is harsher, i
would agree.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: LMV <GoodMessage@fountain.net>
I wouldn't call Amber less harsh or less embracing than Tri repetae++,
for me they are
the two faces of the same coin. I haven't heard Chiastic Slide yet, so
I'll keep my
opinion for when I do.
Besides Autechre? The Chaos!!!! :-) No,
I'm just kidding...
Dead Kennedys (still my favorite band), Bach, Mozart, Coil, Test Dept.,
Killing Joke
(once a sucker, always a sucker), everything with Martin Atkins on the
drums (hey, we all
have our vices), Foetus, Nick Cave, DCD, SP, EN. Ok, this is getting too
long. Got to run
my 2 miles.

Perhaps, but you gotta admit that Chiastic
Slide is their most industrial
sounding album. I'd say that for a mainstream audience Tri Repetae is
the
most accessible, but for most industrial fans CS is definitely the way
to
go.
