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.
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!
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
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.
@@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.
This masterpiece gives me goosebumps, ecstacy, sadness, life, wonderment, awe, and always puts a big grin on my face. It also causes involuntary creaming of my pants.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
It's crazy - it sounds exactly like white/pink noise through a Moog Murf. But this was 15 years before the Murf was invented. If I had to guess what they were doing, it'd be noise through a bandpass filter shaped by an AD envelope. Or they could have sampled the filtered noise burst, but I'm not sure what gear they were using at this period.

30 years later and this master piece is still mindblowing
The best, most innovative live version of any song- anywhere, anytime.

Yep, Basscadet was awesome too : ) I liked the other version of Kalpol as well, it was just so peaceful and serene.
Basscadet is an absolute banger!
Felt the same way when I heard flutter

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

@@hannahmacleod3425beautiful comment!
@@hannahmacleod3425nice!
It's crazy that this was performed in 1994. This song transcends well beyond its years.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
The silence after this track ends is immense. There's just the pounding of my heart.
I've just confirmed that it doesn't get any better than this.
Correct observation
not better but also not worse
@@tunas5666 it does get worse than this
Man I miss older Autechre, those were some great days
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
I still like some of their newer stuff but I totally understand this feeling. I usually find myself revisiting the older stuff more usually.
Can't believe this is one I've missed
Older stuff has more feeling
tri repetae?
The best part of this track is from 0:00 to 10:57
Yep.
Dat (b)ass tho.
muhah
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.
4 elektrik haha!
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.
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
I like this so much more than the original.
One of the most profound pieces of electronica I've ever had the fortune to hear. Sublime's the word.
Yeah, it's epic like the Somewhere Out There tracks by Orbital
@@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.
Well said, also appreciate you calling it a piece and not a song mate
first heard autechre on e and it done something to me
it does something to you sober as well
I´m crying because of this beautiful piece of music
I love how they tease you with amazing percussion and then the melody finally comes at half way through! Top shit.
This masterpiece gives me goosebumps, ecstacy, sadness, life, wonderment, awe, and always puts a big grin on my face.
It also causes involuntary creaming of my pants.
This is absolutely stunning. Never heard this live version, this could be the best 10:57 mins of music ever created.
It never gets old! A true masterpiece and it can't be played loud enough. I really wish there was a better quality version somewhere.
A Gem of a vid.
28 later first hearing i know the 90s were
never gone.
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
Time flies
Lush. Been working, stressed all day. 10 minutes with this + fresh again.
the energy in this is unreal
After hearing this version, Kalpol Introl jumped up to my top 3 all time fave AE tracks. Amazing.
This track does things to me.
Breathtaking! Wish they would release some of these live performances.
Oscillate on mixcloud and soundcloud have some good ones.
the end of this takes you to another universe
And how I wish I could stay there...
mdma-like kick in @5:38
No that's just youtube loading a new webpage.
@@neither_neither It's where the Pi soundtrack version starts at ua-cam.com/video/oABAtq3ZT-k/v-deo.html
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
they have so many masterpieces but few autechre moments go harder than 5:30
that was 1994!!!!! amazing
I first heard them in 2009, I was 16 years old. Happy people are those who heard them back in the 90s.
Beyond space and time.
I want to make it go so loud it makes me blind and all I hear is this.
This song is Life and Death, waltzing furiously in a celestial battlefield.
one of the best techno (IDM) tracks, truly amazing
What a time to be alive.
yes
unreal...LOVE this version
Stupendous. What a find.
really cool seeing you here, you have great taste.
:-)
Out of this world, simply beatiful

Still here. Day off work tomorrow, beers to drink, this piece of art by the boys, Ae :)
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!
Shortest 10 minutes ever.
Not been able to stop listening to this since it appeared on watmm... amazing!!!
What a vibe. Imagine being there.
A masterpiece!
How is this ever 26 years ago.Timeless
This is a spectacular build-up.

The Second Cumming.
Lightyears ahead of their time!!!!

It still is. And always will be.
absolutely mind expanding
KOLESIE KORZYSTALI Z MOICH PIEKIELNYCH MASZYN Z PRZESYŁU CZYŚCOWEGO . TO ZŁODZIEJE I KARAOKE W JEDNOŚCI .
amazing version
can you imagine being another up and coming electronic musician in 1994 and hearing this live... you'd never go out again!
This is timeless. I fell in love with it, Doctrine and Clipper back when i was teenager.
Life changing
Utterly incredible.
holy shit this is beyond amazing
one of my all time favorite music pieces. Going to see them live soon, very excited!
Same, finally get to see them live again at The Barbican in October.
Une pépite dans le genre. Pur plaisir
Indiscutablement excellent morceau break beat en ballade. Nicely track masterpiece. Thanks to share this tune.
The galaxy is really big
I saw them play a club I think it was upstairs in Coldharbour lane Brixton. It was new, different and great
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.
THANK YOU Mr Aefx ❤❤❤

I reckon if they dropped this at a gig today it would go utterly mental!! - put and end to the chin scratching
Is there any place to download this without resorting to use some crappy UA-cam to MP3 converter????
So incredible.
WOW! Classic!!! Brings bk great memories

This is Life this is is awakening this made me cry this is joy.
Increíble versión
I always thought that Richard D. James was the king of electronic music. These guys, through this song, just changed the way I think..
Amazing energy ❤
wow
OOOOOOOOOFFFF ya bastaaar!!
HUGE
❤ It’s Amazing
So what is it that they are doing around 9:00? are they using filters on white noise? moving around the frequency its at?

2:32 actually hurts my soul

Took me 2:32 to get to this comment!
