GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC

[Roswell]

this is assuming the amount of question marks matters... and if it did I don’t think they would be incorrectly counted... that being said, “Remixes” does fit within the parentheses so if we were going the question mark route I would guess it’s “Autechre - SIGN (Remixes)”

imho the stuff within the parentheses will be (BRC-XXX).

you’re right, it’s definitely this. disregard my last message!

You know when you put a cold beverage on the table and it leaves a ring of condensation? The Autechre covers look like a radioactive version of that!

very Bocy

are they really going with that space theme

[Echelon]

Also I just think they haven't updated that page. But it's obvious Plus is the surprise album.

I really think it would be more BOC-like for them to release/make an announcement after all of this (like on Jan 22nd) since it fits with the whole "outsider" thing.

Also perhaps they want to release the album after 2020 AFTER we've reaped Tomorrow's Harvest

No offense guys but I don't know how anyone could listen to this. I'm trying here but this is not music. It just sounds like a bunch of weird sounds effects.

Enjoy it but meh. Hard pass.

I am right there with you.

The album (PLUS) is being well recieved by the autechre community, but autechre's music has never been that aproachable for newcomers. I think their music has VERY disconnected patterns at times, but the beats are still there. However, the main reason I listen to Autechre is for the sound design, which is actually the same reason I listen to a lot of BoC.

Take Gyroscope for example.

These were my thoughts at first. It all seemed too random and emotionless. But the more I listened, the more I began to appreciate the sound design, and once I'd crossed that hurdle, something clicked - it eventually became 'music' that I enjoyed.

Exai was the album to do it for me, which in hindsight seems bizarre, as it was likely their least accessible record at the time. 2 hours of fairly abrasive experimental tracks. (Of course since then we've had 4-hour and an 8-hour albums, making Exai a walk in the park by comparison!)

I'd recommend trying again, and maybe you too will have a eureka moment!

Fuckin Garbage EP is where it's at.

[Geogandhi]

Philistines! Only listened to the first few tracks and already the New Ae is golden.

Granted, if you have not been into them before it can sound fairly unmusical. The more you listen the more you dig in and find value in the details. The catchy melodies are all there, they are just not handed on a platter like the majority of music. You have to dive in and swim around looking for them and you won't find them on the first few dives. It's such a rewarding way to listen to music.

[PerniciousKnid]

What I get out of Ae is the appreciation for the amount of knowledge these two guys have for their craft and the tools used making it and the forward thinking ways in which they implement them.

The sound design is amazing, the rhythmic theory is astounding, and the compositional ideas are revolutionary.

Consider them more as avant-garde composers in the classical senses perhaps, rather than simply electronic musicians - and you may find a expanded perspective on Ae.

I don’t like Schoenberg or Cage all the time either, but if you listen to and study the twelve tone system of the second viennese school - or the aleatoric music of chance of the 21st century - you’ll be hit with a wealth of knowledge.

Ae is on this plane. Don’t like it all the time, but man when you do - you can walk away with expanded insights.

Autechre to me, very often sounds like a futuristic dystopian world where machines and computers control everything. Like a Ghost In The Shell type world but rather than cop-show music and Russian singers, this is what it would actually sound like-binary turned into music.

TBH, it's very hard to speculate when there's nothing concrete for two months now. I think people are just enjoying talented musicians who actually release things.

Besides, Autechre were a big influence on BOC in the early days. Their first album may very well be an inspiration for Music Has The Right To Children. I hear tons of similar and equally genius sounds including the song Lowride which is sort of like Autechre's own Roygbiv.

Listening to Garbage right as I read this – it's so goddam good.

Beatink updated their page and yes, the mystery record is PLUS.
