Never really listened to them actually, which is a shame as I love all the other WARP groups I listen to. I should give them a listen, where should I start ?

[PAULYBEE2656]

syrfox. jeez if u like warp then you must like ae. they are the essential warp band. try anything pre confeld...... lp5, amber, envane, chiastic slide and then their more recent stuff, untitled, confled, draft 7.30 all brilliant but maybe newcomers may appreciate the more melodic side first...

amazing band!

[PAULYBEE2656]

oh, ive read the thread.. u speak of squarepusher... yeah, hit and miss to be honest. can be a bit too vegetarian cafe musak at times but as an instrumentalist he is special......

[PAULYBEE2656]

try these....

interview with tim jenkinson (aka squarepusher)

[atsonicpark]

squarepusher is amazing, every album is different, I was SUPER into him about 6 years ago, then my interest waned, but now I really enjoy him again. I think his albums aren't that consistent because it'll be like 3 great songs and 1 or 2 okay songs, but "Feed Me Weird Things" and "Go Plastic" are just un-fucking-believable in places. Not a huge fan of "Ultravisitor". Honestly, Flashbulb is better than Squarepusher (they're quite similiar..).

Autechre are by far my favorite electronic group. And I said this elsewhere, but I like every album better than the one before it. They just get better and better. Ridiculous.

[batreleaser]

does anyone have the chris cunningham dvd boxset? its awesome. anyways, the squarepusher video is definitley my favorite on there. as for a good starting point for squarepusher, id reccomend "do you know squarepusher". its great, and has an amazing cover of joy division "love will tear us apart".

[batreleaser]

sonicpark, did you add scissor shock to the no wave wikipedia page???

[SonicBebs]

[quote=atsonicpark] Not a huge fan of "Ultravisitor". [quote]

thats the only album of his i've got. I really like one of the tracks (4?) (shit with track names) with the drumming. You know the one. Awsomes.

He is brilliant live

[PAULYBEE2656]

if you mean the director series one. its not a box, just one stunning dvd and a cool art and photo book. his lfo video aint in it tho unfortunatly

yeah thats what i mean. just the collection of his music vids. the bjork one with the robots is really cool too, and obviously aphex come to daddy and windowlicker are both like, whoa. fuck, even the madonna one is really amazing. cunninham NEEDS to start directing feature lengths.

Simmm and Paralel Suns were played this week in Mary Ann Hobbs radio show, you can hear them there:

Her voice is really annoying, but Simmm ("with three m, S-I-M-M-M. I like this, it's ambitious" STFU N00B) is really a great track (actually there's a 320kbps leak of that track floating on the Internet too...), splendid melody. Paralel Suns is very good too, there's a dark-ambient vibe on it

I really like Autechre. Best on vinyl.

I don't get it. Music is music, whichever format you listen to it on, no?

Yes, of course. Music is indeed music. What is missing from ipods or whatever is the ritual of listening to music. Flipping records, cleaning records, taking care of your record player. I am ocd and really like that kind of shit.
I really do believe that vinyl sounds better. It requires good records, a nice record player and a decent amp and speakers, but the payoff is well worth the expense. That said, I burn my vinyl records though an imic to itunes, then put it on my ipod or burn a cd of it for portability.
Autechre in particular sounds exceptional on vinyl, as does stuff like coil, current 93, Death in June....

[PAULYBEE2656]

yes, i am not a format junkie by any means but lp5 sounds stunning on vinyl as does confeld. its strange.......

[atsonicpark]

Careful with your words, syrfox, someone's going to reply and pretend that the crackles and hisses of a vinyl record somehow will make you appreciate the music better..

Clever. Really.

[atsonicpark]

I have a few records on vinyl.. captain beefheart - lick my decals off, baby.. shellac - 1000 hurts.. a lot of noise records..

But I've never really "gotten" anything from it that I couldn't "get" from CD.. Honestly, I think the tape format makes things sound better for noise/drone stuff.. never really got the big deal about vinyl, except that the art is amazing.

[Everyneurotic]

well some records sound better on vinyl, some don't. like boris' pink, i thought it was meh when i first listened to it, it was "ohh they repeated akuma no uta but now the drone parts have a few shoegazer parts" but after listening to it on vinyl, it really came alive. same with sunn o)))'s black one.

some others sound better on tape and others are fine on cd/cd-r/digital form.

[atsonicpark]

I can see that, but a lot of people will say "Everything sounds better on vinyl". I know a dude who won't buy any format except vinyl and if a band doesn't have a vinyl out, he just won't buy anything by them. Interesting.
