In 1996 I was studying in Manchester. One day I borrowed Incunabula from a friend not knowing what to expect. Autechre’s first album. I put it on to listen in my tiny student dorm on a Sunday morning. Opening track Kalpol introl (a very different version than this) was the first ever track I listened by Autechre. I was immediately hooked. By the time Basscadet was unfolding, my mind was blown away. It was exactly the music I wanted to hear. I will never forget that day. Now it’s the first time I listen to this version. It brought tears to my eyes.
They say they look back on a lot of their older stuff and see it as cheesy but man all of its still so ahead of the curve, always find myself back in it at least once a year
Are you kidding me? My brain would’ve melted if I heard this in a club in ‘94. It’s a transcendent piece of music. Since the beginning, they’ve had a deep, almost peerless mastery of their tools and a uniquely refracted connection to the sublime. Masters of our age.
They really were something else live. Some of my mates were into Hawkwind, loop guru, transglobal underground, chemical brothers groove rider, Carl Cox etc. Real pioneers doing some great nights
When I saw Autechre at the Nia Centre in Manchester in 1994 there was a guy who wouldn’t shut up about how he’d travelled back from 2027. We all just thought he’d taken too much acid. Nice to meet you again!
@@thekensilva Orbital is absolutely amazing too. Somewhere Out There, The Box, Funny Break and Girl with Sun in Her Head are just so good. Rarely anyone listened to these back when I was growing up.
Jeez... The number of tracks I've listened to over the years where there's that same unimaginative, repetitive, fucking sentence. Mr Hopcroft, please think of something new to say. Or even better, fuck off. No offence.
Holy shit this live version is astonishing. Thought I loved the original track to 11/10 already but this just puts it way over the fucking top. What GODS of electronic music, true progenitors
It is not so easy for me to find a proper description of my experience, while listening to this music. I am listening to their music for more than 15 years. What about: incredible. "Incredible" should have been understood in its positive connotation. "Amazing" might be another word, but I am not going to be too wordy. ;-) wow
Was it 1994? 192 Coldharbour lane. It was a great underground club. The 80s and 90s were great. There used to be regular nights at Hampton court if I remember right. It was so many years ago.
This is a parcel of my Heaven musical. That's break beat intemporal could be the field guilde to beyond my minds. It s a great pleasure to share this powerful track. with you. salut à vous
The CALPOL® Family are the products that generations of mums and dads have reached for when their children were feeling poorly and they just want to help make them feel better.
Hey guys! It seems for me, you are not understand this comment. 444 was also an Autechre single. This is the reason why the 14,444 number of view was so interesting. Cheers.
ae are probably the most influential electro group ever. like, how do you even explain wtf is this track? then they went out and made exai twenty years later.
i like this a lot! unfortunately i cannot download the song from the link in the watmm forum. if any one has the file i would be happy if you share it with me!
