Autechre - Sublimit

[@AMathMonkey]

13:30 to the fadeout is one of Autechre's best moments of all time. Such a cool beat pattern - not random or off-grid, just highly accurate super-fast beats that you can dance erratically to and snap along with. On top of that, it's got a dreamy atmosphere created by the droning bass and hopeful high-pitched synth melody, plus what sounds to me like a person whispering "placement placement placement placement" at the end of each loop of the beat. Oh man, I could replay this segment for hours.

[@trm245]

its those contrasts that make this part such a masterpiece. also I love that the ambient sounds like its breathing or something. reminds me of the track Atom Heart - (holon) slow motion augmattic disport also has these kinds of subtle contrasts. such a great album

[@mulder4754]

Just have realized it's "untilted", not "untitled"

[@estevancarlos]

Exaclty

[@daniel.lopresti]

yeah, it took me a long time too....

[@davidw9736]

I didn’t realise until I listened to a podcast episode about the album and thought the hosts had the title wrong

[@fleaship6134]

Yeah Autechre are fuckers like that, purposefully trying to confuse you with sounds and titles

[@Uchutanjyo]

wow. thanks for this comment

[@beeohbee]

0:00 = 4/4, 3:38 = 5/4, 5:27 = 6/4 6:44 to end = 4/4

[@GingerDrums]

+Koritsuyuutsu Thanks for this, small correction if we're gonna go there 3:38 is 5/8. 5:27 possibly 6/8 but I cant find quaternotes in groups of six for sure. x

[@beeohbee]

+Snowdenbleep aha, I guess you're not wrong, but I don't know why crotchets (x/4) should be avoided in this case. Do enlighten me though 'cus I'm interested

[@eliasednie3816]

i dunno from that, but 3:23-5:15 ranks 11/10 best rating

[@beeohbee]

Having revisited this damn incredible track so often I think I see what you mean. If you count 0:00 at half the speed I am, and call that 4/4, 3:38 is indeed more appropriately 5/8 and 5:27 would be 6/8 - I count the start at double that speed though so I guess I call it all X/4.

[@aeoization]

Let's say 8/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4

[@alicesmith8134]

Suddenly, I understand

[@EvilTim1911]

I used to prefer Autechre's early, more melodic stuff but there's a world of treasures to be found in their more abstract, abrasive work. This track is a masterpiece. From around 8 minutes onward, I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. Brilliant.

[@peatrude4872]

anton chigurh has good taste

[@flatpanda123456]

The ending to this track/album is gorgeous

[@randomanalogue]

I learned how to speak binary while listening.

[@PoppinCorn]

lol.

[@MrTheZatoichi]

i want to say millions of things about this song but it literally made me speechless

[@randomhunter8593]

I like Autechre beacause they really make fractal music, in all rhythmic, melodic and timbristic sense!!

[@Bystvor]

this album is a huge Masterpiece for me, after 12 years of listening to it, it's better and better ♥ timeless music

[@cheesechoker]

I'll always be in awe of this track. It starts out as a kind of deranged electro number (complete with horn sample!!) only to get sucked into a wormhole halfway through. Then they rebuild a dub version of it, and slip in some sneaky melodies as it blasts off into space. Beautiful work. One of their best ever.

[@jwmartnet]

Cycled to work this morning as usual, only just in time, work radio went on too quickly before I'd booted myself up, reaction to, sent mood low, headphones went in, mp3 collection on shuffle. This track came on. Made me feel normal. Mood rising as soon as kick & snare kick in @3:19. Mood restored and feeling ready for day by end of track.

[@LeatMoaf83]

3:23 - 5:15 ... pure love.

[@kimbarsegyan]

My favorite part as well

[@ihaveagoddamnplanarthur]

3:40

[@Jez4prez]

@flatpanda123456 Totally agree. I initially had a hard time getting into this album, until I did the old fall asleep while listening trick. Woke up in a state where I was still basically asleep and the ending was playing, it seriously blew my mind. Best part of the album imo, Such an epic way to end the album.

[@SendyTheEndless]

Lost in the temporal maze...

[@niqart]

When it was released I liked only first minute, but now I'm speechless about what begins from 8th minute.... I'm just magnetized

[@Hasuo2001]

For me, a prime candidate for the best drum programming of all time.

[@carltonrandom]

13:30. It's there. The harmony.

[@MaximalDin0bot]

This track is a monster!

[@samhein321]

Takes a while to get used to this rhythm. it's very complex in it's simplicity, if this makes sense.

[@carltonrandom]

You know that feeling where an Autechre track makes perfect sense...

[@blandcore2773]

Easily their most Gescom moment but also with an awesome broken techno beat.

[@_Killkor]

They're so good at crafting those complex rhythmic patterns.

[@mdhamerly]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS MUSIC

[@JPIZZLE1999]

You will it just takes time for new Autechre listers to analyze it.

[@alexbrooks3004]

when the horn sample comes in....

[@daniel.lopresti]

and the gospel back-up vocals!

[@foarfield]

that be sparky d and the playgirls

[@gon8888]

this song is one of my favorites so goood!!!!

[@MrHavok29]

:) 2001! "I like to boogie woogie"! I like autechure and her...both are innovative in the genres they work in...Type A pop/dance music and Type A Experimental Electronic music

[@midinerd]

YOU ARE AWESOME. THANK YOU! :) this is like christmas.

[@alexjaybrady]

Down down down down to the underground river

[@milkmanswife93696]

this is a pretty off-the-wall track alright

[@aeoization]

Not bad, not bad, Sean and Rob!

[@earx23]

at 4:00 beats seem to skip.. ehh 7/8 or so. sue me, i'm not a music theorist

[@Terx-km8dv]

Ok

[@alexandervanstoke]

One of their favourite

[@sawtoothiandi]

[@sawtoothiandi]

[@JestersGeneration]

[@iscottm]

[@jnymp1]

My fav

[@SkiminStones]

@kittenkiller69696969 bad relationship..

[@randomhunter8593]

this is one of the most wonderful electronic music ever created at the same level of Aphex or others in that field

[@nonentity7709]

what the fuck are last 6+- minutes of the track? it's perfect :D

[@regulate.artificer_g23.mdctlsk]

3:23

[@Janmeeba]

Nice song. ^^

[@bobdenver79]

Sounds like a chipmunk laughin quarter in there lol

[@dskwqweqw]

@JosephKnight93 3:40, I suppose

[@paulaustinmurphy]

Which album is it from?

[@propername4830]

MurphtheHammer1 Untilted

[@theNSKO]

A Fucking Film good track again !! :D

[@quarkspoet]

{∅}

[@towermoss]

Newer stuff doesnt have that Ae spirit. They got lost in the machine

[@HenrySosenite]

ur just mad that ur not good at maths

[@midinerd]

Newer stuff? This came out in like 2000. Their newer stuff is spit-shined crazy synthesis stuff, if you wanted the classic 'ae' spirit ala 1990 you might be offended that they put a phaser on a snaredrum. they're about pushing a boundary not staying in one.

[@cometcourse381]

You're crazy man, Exai, elseq, and NTS Sessions are so next level it's not even funny.

[@alexjaybrady]

CometCourse It's true.

[@StockAvuryah]

I find bqbqbq very funny
