Autechre live in Glasgow 15-04-2005

best electronic live set ever
bedste elektroniske live sæt nogensinde
Saikō no denshi raibu wa ima made ni settei sa re

[@suncity22001]

30 minutes in is existential bliss , its a groove thing. Greatest living artists is not too broad a claim. 67 psychedlia gave us the likes of Hendrix, Zappa Etc. The often maligned and or forgot Rave culture gave us Autechre. The whole discography is massive and a fantastic body of work throughout. Autechre are untouchable right now , it's their mindset, and long may they reign.

[@MarkErrington]

indeed. the complexity of their music is astounding.

[@bobdenver79]

The modulations DVD documentary talked about the darker directions of techno into warehouse & jungle. Then they interview AE lol. Dead on about the "culture" aspect. 20 years of listening

[@dr.fritza959]

Bob Denver have you got a link to this documentary?

[@davecurtis6930]

Wow!!Finally some ppl that are aware

[@KevinWBinder]

6 years later the truth of this comment only rings louder.

[@thelunarbros]

u/tweez28 D’you know, I live in Glasgow and have worked as a chef in various bars/cafes/restaurants etc since moving here in 99. One evening I was working in this place and the barman came rushing into the kitchen and said “You’ll never guess who’s just walked in. Fuckin Autechre!” We were both big fans. So I made them a meal, can’t remember what it was but probably pizza. Made my night, but kinda forgot about it over the years. Years later I came across the 2005 set and was thoroughly amazed. Halfway through it I thought, i wonder when it was that I fed them. I traced the dates back and sure enough it was the night of this gig. Every time I listen to it I like to think there’s a bit of me helping make those sounds.

[@margaretmillsom2285]

Man thats hilarious,im from /live in Glasgow, the last thing you expect is Autechre to wander into your bar or restaurant, theyre not particularly approachable id imagine if youd gone all fanboy on them lol

[@surroundgatari]

lmao great made-up story

[@davecurtis6930]

Haha 🤣,I remember in 94 we were playing TRI-repetae alot,I remember thinking man I bet these guys know kung Fu or something haha

[@battlemode]

@@margaretmillsom2285 I worked with a guy from another UK electronica act for a short while, he'd met Autechre a few times at gigs they'd done and he said they were really nice people and very approachable, but I'd put them in the category of people who I'd imagine probably wouldn't dig people running up to them and going "HEY YOUR MY BEST FRIEND!"

[@friselectif]

well done man ! thanks to you, this a great live !

[@bobdenver79]

One line summary. "This train's too fast to jump off."

[@adj789]

it's hard to imagine a live set I love Infected Mushroom and Squarepusher but this set in and of itself is godlike

[@Bakiyochi84420]

dario capasso don't believe so. we have to evolve more with technology to create even more sounds and composition complexity to believe what you posted. the epitome of this time.

[@morklaerer3937]

Absolutely. I was just too much enthusiastic when I wrote that. Autechre themselves have travelled far and explored so much further since then. There will be always new and unknown sounds to achieve.

i absolutely agree with you man

[@youtub-fj8mu]

happy birthday to this

[@AlanPereira69]

After hearing all the material they've put out i came to conclusion that this is their best

[@DaftPunkFan43v3r]

The Quaristice era to me was the pinnacle of Autechre's sonical experimentation (the Elseq era comes in second place imo, funny thing is I relate both albums and I think elseq is a reference to this other album; hence why there's a letter q at the end and that would explain why it sounds so ahead of its time almost like no other Autechre album). No other era on their career sounds so ahead of its time like their music on the Quaristice era does (both sonically and rhytmically). Tracks like SonDEremawe/IO/Rale sound like they were created on the year 4000 and somehow Sean & Rob found the way to travel in time to bring us this album (and its other versions too).

[@adj789]

I feel the same way, i saw them live in Atlanta during this tour and my friends walked out of the show but I stayed and took a cab home fucking losers

[@someonelse9]

Echoplex reconstruction is a contender imho

[@kalproc]

I love that little moment at 5:24 where it hints at the later IO track

[@VenjerSixx.]

Same

[@osamaaj]

I've only recently started taking interest in electronic music, and those guys never cease to amaze me!

[@estevancarlos]

Only recently and you've already introduced yourself to Autechre? Impressive. I assumed most people go the EDM route first.

[@osamaaj]

Well, I mostly listen to progressive rock, post-rock and similar stuff. I'm also a fan of Radiohead, which got me introduced to acts like Aphex Twin and Autechre, since Thom Yorke mentioned them as influences.

[@estevancarlos]

Osama Alajlouni Ah, through Radiohead. Then that makes a lot of sense. If you want to investigate this area of electronic music more I recommend a couple record labels: Raster Noton and PAN.

[@osamaaj]

Will do, thanks!!

[@Emnor1993]

@@osamaaj ohboi, that was my route as well, way back (though it's strange how far apart my own access to radiohead and Ae/Aphex seem now. Estevan made some very good recommendations there, I'd like to add to that the Whities label, and the smaller labels in the warp orbit: Skam, Rephlex, also, possibly, Editions Mego, Hyperdub, Ballacid, also, completely unrelated to the electronic music at hand and more to where you're coming from: check out "The Durutti Column". in fact, durutti and autechre both being from manchester kind of cemented that city to be my mekka of incredible music, since they are both in my top 5 of the most important artists ever. also props to you estevan for the level headed exchange, too many Idm-fans that feel like they have to snob Radiohead fans just because they had another trajectory and put to much weight on some outdated comments by RDJ, Radiohead didn't age perfectly for me but, boy they can't be put off like that. it isn't like they don't have a very strong voice of their own that wouldn't exist without the Ae/RDJ-influence. (and: curiously enough Chris Cunningham is a huge Radiohead fan)

Please tell me that’s true LOL incredible if so.

[@SimonGrowl]

30 minutes, it shifts into an astonishing baroque masterpiece, the likes of which I have never heard before, or since. Like ep7 taken deeper into the vast expanses of a forever deep inter-galactic plain, fueled by haunting sorrow.

[@arasharfa]

Best live recording I've heard from them so far.

[@threedividers]

It sounds as good as their official releases!

[@themysteriouscow]

my favorite live set of all time. i wish i could have witnessed it first hand...

[@dodu8281]

furious start, then no let down

[@Blowhard]

I don't know how a lot of people don't get this set is just techno. Over time I started thinking it was more complicated, but I've wrapped around to thinking it's just techno by guys who weren't following the then current conventions. Actually a lot of old techno like Derrick May is just as complex as the opening tracks.

[@CH0MSKYH0NK]

I've listened to this 5+ times in the last 48hrs.. when it clicks, it clicks hard

[@diegod369]

I saw them live in Canada back in 2015. Their sound live is something else. I also saw Venetian Snares that same night. Epic!

[@Uchutanjyo]

I was there, too - but can’t believe it was that long ago already. Had to Google it after reading this comment to check that it was actually this one. I think of that as a somewhat recent experience (and one of the best live shows - ie not raves - I’ve ever been to)

[@diegod369]

The part that I liked the most was the start. Venetian stopped and there was like a 2 minute silence and the Autechre started so hard.

[@syrus3k]

Starting around 27 mins they bring in that weird 'glass' sound in the background. Love that.. v.special and unlike anything else ever. Magic.

[@syrus3k]

(it's a pad of some kind)

[@jacksonfritts2988]

Maybe some of my fave Autechre work ever? wow didn't expect this one to blow my mind... and Iove most of their studio albums!

[@TheDeliverator]

the way they build to the melody at around 39:20 and then switch it up is just next level awesome

[@masondetrani8902]

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard begins at 59:32.

[@therightovers6667]

Autechre changes how you think about music. As innovative as a Terry Riley or something in that way

[@Emnor1993]

you got it so right! I can still feel it in my bones how they did that for me. And I love how well the Terry Riley reference works for your point. exactly that, completely transformative!

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

It's crazy how this is some of the Untitled material being played & sequenced backwards, particularly near the end

23:27 always thought this sounds like bursts from an automatic weapon

[@Wil_Dsense]

The only other 'music' that compares (which is completely subjective) is MESHUGGAH which are a totally different Genre, yet similar in intensity and in the sense they seem to be more than 'music' how we usually classify it... It's more like the intricately complex workings of a mechanical code that is in a feedback loop within itself, a DMT trip of an artificial world (not Organic) from somewhere far out...

[@jayocaine2946]

meshuggah is a one trick pony, the novelty wears off quick.

[@ralphhayward4713]

@@jayocaine2946 dunno, they have at least 2 tricks if you include bleed

[@chugrooster2]

I completely agree, meshuggah and autechre are both right at the top of my musical pantheon of awesomeness. They are both totally unapologetic in exploring something without regard for fashions. Trying to develop and unfold a concept. I think that meshuggah are a little musically limited now (Only recently) but what they continue to develop is their live show which is probably the best thing you can witness live. The interaction between the sound and the lighting show, the hyponotic synchopations... just amazing. I've seen autechre and meshuggah live a few times both. They both impress in totally different ways. Head and shoulders above most
