Does Noise Work for You?

I have a question for forum members interested in older IDM: what happened to autechre?

Personally, I find the older autechre albums, particularly Envane, Tri Repetae, Cichli Suite, LP5, Chiastic Slide, etc., to be fascinating, explorative works that I can listen to over and over again. Perhaps since people began to copy autechre's style, they looked to create new styles of music and moved into noise music...

I have nothing against noise music in itself--in fact, I like some noise music. But with autechre's move into noise, they seem to have lost much of what attracted to me to their music in the first place.

Perhaps other forum members could comment on this... Does noise work for you?

bit of noise here and there, yes...

didnt hear any autechre's new stuff though

btw this is more for the core forum.. slavik, can u move it?

My girl caught Autechre in Philadelphia a few months ago. They didn't play any noise at all.

could be, but i think i'll keep it here for now, as it does refer to pre-2000 electronic music if it ends up mainly a discussion of the new material, i'll move it. :)

maybe it needs to be a bit more targeted to the old school...so what made autechre's old stuff special and has this been lost?

noise?? whats noise for you guys? think more on power electronics and industrial!

autechre did the music for the new LG advert, recent stuff is more chilled melodic kinda stuff, still think its damn good though
