30 years later and this master piece is still mindblowing

[@deckarddd]

I´m crying because of this beautiful piece of music

[@alos2099]

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.

[@UntilTheRedFogRises]

Yep, Basscadet was awesome too : ) I liked the other version of Kalpol as well, it was just so peaceful and serene.

[@ClandestineMerkaba]

The best, most innovative live version of any song- anywhere, anytime.

[@TuffLittleunit]

7 people so shaken by the awesomeness of this track that they clicked left_mouse_button at the wrong time as their cursor wobbled around

[@severnwtf]

Man I miss older Autechre, those were some great days

[@vengeancegauloise6049]

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

[@thomassheehy8044]

I still like some of their newer stuff but I totally understand this feeling. I usually find myself revisiting the older stuff more usually.

[@onealspence8548]

Can't believe this is one I've missed

[@pezza3146]

Older stuff has more feeling

[@Incloop]

tri repetae?

[@msdos]

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.

[@sam_millen]

The second my time machine is ready, this is exactly where I am going.

[@Ian-bq7gp]

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

[@hannahmacleod3425]

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!

[@4elektrik401]

One of the most profound pieces of electronica I've ever had the fortune to hear. Sublime's the word.

[@thekensilva]

Yeah, it's epic like the Somewhere Out There tracks by Orbital

[@UntilTheRedFogRises]

@@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.

[@Feez4886]

It's crazy that this was performed in 1994. This song transcends well beyond its years.

[@jacks7613]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@cliffordbillington4937]

first heard autechre on e and it done something to me

[@mwatkins0590]

I like this so much more than the original.

[@petardinjo]

still on repeat.. this tune has been coded into my youtube algorithm and I am listening to it once in every single day. incredible stuff.

[@PhantomOnTheHorizon]

I love how they tease you with amazing percussion and then the melody finally comes at half way through! Top shit.

[@EdoardoCordero]

the energy in this is unreal

[@UntilTheRedFogRises]

This is timeless. I fell in love with it, Doctrine and Clipper back when i was teenager.

[@redform]

Beyond space and time.

[@simonb1009]

I first heard them in 2009, I was 16 years old. Happy people are those who heard them back in the 90s.

[@sam_millen]

This is absolutely stunning. Never heard this live version, this could be the best 10:57 mins of music ever created.

[@kevinba972]

A Gem of a vid. 28 later first hearing i know the 90s were never gone.

[@alicesmith8134]

the end of this takes you to another universe

[@ClandestineMerkaba]

And how I wish I could stay there...

[@neither_neither]

mdma-like kick in @5:38

[@midinerd]

No that's just youtube loading a new webpage.

[@Defeshh]

I'm amazed, I've been listening this for 3 years already. This is truly a masterpiece, both for the mind and heart. Pure techno bliss

[@Spacerboy]

that was 1994!!!!! amazing

[@dronf1719]

After hearing this version, Kalpol Introl jumped up to my top 3 all time fave AE tracks. Amazing.

[@JoelWest]

What a time to be alive.

[@ogojoo]

yes

[@microflow2929]

Lush. Been working, stressed all day. 10 minutes with this + fresh again.

[@remotegod255]

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

[@markofthenorth9512]

Breathtaking! Wish they would release some of these live performances.

[@fluffybriggs]

Oscillate on mixcloud and soundcloud have some good ones.

[@ClandestineMerkaba]

This song is Life and Death, waltzing furiously in a celestial battlefield.

[@micahnewman]

Stupendous. What a find.

[@TheVinceFly]

really cool seeing you here, you have great taste.

[@micahnewman]

:-)

[@hoppy303]

The best part of this track is from 0:00 to 10:57

[@SuperChexmixer]

Yep.

[@koboldmedia]

Dat (b)ass tho.

[@thedjconus]

muhah

[@4elektrik401]

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.

[@hoppy303]

4 elektrik haha!

[@TuffLittleunit]

I want to make it go so loud it makes me blind and all I hear is this.

[@azk5213]

Out of this world, simply beatiful

[@gunsbartone]

How is this ever 26 years ago.Timeless

[@MultiHammered1]

Lightyears ahead of their time!!!!

[@psych0ma13]

A masterpiece!

[@TRaddcliff]

unreal...LOVE this version

[@richiejbhoy1888]

Utterly incredible.

[@VBA2010]

one of the best techno (IDM) tracks, truly amazing

[@taurine9360]

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

[@schtat]

oh fuck - this is sublime.

[@wickeddubz]

It still is. And always will be.

[@geltech6490]

Life changing

[@TheRasputinTrabelsi]

The galaxy is really big

[@arturolearczyk1653]

Still here. Day off work tomorrow, beers to drink, this piece of art by the boys, Ae :)

[@inhmn]

amazing version

[@ToysintheStatic]

Awesome, what a great buildup to a great track. Man, it would have been cool to see some of these guys when they still did stuff like this live!

[@blbnnn]

Not been able to stop listening to this since it appeared on watmm... amazing!!!

[@maheralsabbaghe]

i love this song with it's eternal beuauty . may this remain for ever

[@Ian-bq7gp]

I saw them play a club I think it was upstairs in Coldharbour lane Brixton. It was new, different and great

[@Ian-bq7gp]

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.

[@victoreijkhout6146]

This is a spectacular build-up.

[@OMI1channel]

best song ever

[@pascalvacher6674]

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

[@geltech6490]

absolutely mind expanding

[@pascaloldschool]

Une pépite dans le genre. Pur plaisir

[@hoppy303]

I reckon if they dropped this at a gig today it would go utterly mental!! - put and end to the chin scratching

[@sawtoothiandi]

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.
