thread_title: pronounced?

message: it seems like a lot of the information that should be grouped together is unnecessarily spread across several of the sections here.
the general information at the top should probably say where they are from; 
and while this happens in the history section now, 
i think the general information should also introduce the names of the members.
right now, music software and algorithmic pattern generation get mentioned in the music section,
but i think they should probably be moved to the methods section.  
their music definitely has an intimidating unconventionality to it 
(which i myself actually found immediately appealing, contrary to the article's claim),
but the fact that they use music software and algorithms to generate it is secondary to the style itself,
which i think the music section is trying to describe.
that section is a bit weak right now in my opinion, if it's really attempting to be a description of style,
and i think there is a lot of detail that could be added.
an attempt could be made to chronicle their stylistic changes over their carreer.
the most notable change is probably between the clean sterility of Tri Repetae and Chiastic Slide's crunchier edge,
though there have been significant changes with almost every album since Incunabula.
also i think that draft 7.30 no longer holds the throne for most percussion-oriented album, now that untilted is out,
but im not sure it's necessary to point out which album is most drum oriented in the section's current form,
which is a general overview of their style. 
all of their albums have a lot of percussion-heavy tracks, and this sounds like draft 7.30 is the pinnacle of their style. Twelvethirteen 19:04, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Layout and the Music section 

message: ive been thinking a lot about how to do justice to autechre's use of algorithmic sound and pattern generation.
in particular ive been looking at this interview with sean.
about 2/3 of the way through they start discussing algorithms and generative music in some depth.
this could be a good source, but im not exactly sure how we could use some of these quotes.

replies: text: Now it says "but Sean Booth has disputed these claims" and refers to the website you quote, but this is wrong IMHO, I don't think he disputes that, he rather mocks (sp?) the interviewers take on algorithmic music. I think that part should be deleted. (Link to interview should stay though) 85.178.53.25 13:07, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Algorithmic Generation 

message: Autechre did an interview in 1994 with a Los Angeles based culture/future media magazine "Resource" where they claimed the name "Autechre" came from a random character generator that either Booth or Brown had coded. The program simply spit out an eight-character alphabetic form when triggered. "Autechre" came up eventually and they simply liked the look and potential sound of it.
I will have to dig through some stacks to find that issue for a source. I might have the name wrong. 
I am most totally certain that any notion the name means "Audio Architecture" or "Audio Technology Redefined" or any variation is false; its proliferation seems to stem from a series of erroneous discussions on the IDM mailing list at hyperreal.org during the mid to late 1990's.
: If so, I doubt it was purely random. A pronounceable word with 50% vowels would be rare. 86.128.49.27 (talk) 15:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Autechre name origin 

message: in the interview:
http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~reynolda/music_ae_092801.html
sean talks about the working relationship with rob, and runs through his day so far, at one point saying:
"Yeah, and then he got up about five minutes after I did (laughs) and just like didn't have any coffee."
do they live together? do they share a bed? are they lovers?
: *LOL* no man.. IIRC the have somewhat comparable studios, Rob lives in london and Sean is married to Mira Calix and lives somewhere in the country side, Suffolk.
: see http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mira+Calix
: nice guys btw --Wires 15:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  living arrangements 

message: Is this tag still needed? It's starting to remind me of those perpetual "This page is under construction" GIFs. There's room to grow, but the article seems adequate. – edgarde 17:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I say yes. Expansion tags often end up in places where people wouldn't like to see them, but they're needed here. In addition to the sectstub tags under Music and Methods (those two sections are hardly adequate), the article could do with more on public perception of Autechre's music and responses from peers and critics. I figure a lot of people who view this page regularly have been waiting a long time for that additional material. — Shoejar 05:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I'd say no. Any article that isn't already at a 'featured' level could use expansion. It's implicit in the site. I'm going to remove the top tag, as Edgarde suggested. --Quiddity 01:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Please expand this article." 

message: Slip is a great song, but if I was going to pick one song to represent Autechre, I think it would be one of my last choices.  It is immensely dissimilar from the majority of their work.  If anyone else agrees and feels up to it, I think it should either be replaced or at least add 1 or 2 other songs in addition that would help to more accurately reflect Autechre's whole sound.WildlifeAnalysis 12:48, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It would be valuable to have something from Confield to represent their later work, and Tri Repetae since it's probably their best-known release. --Ultra Megatron 03:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How about Eidetic Casine and C/Pach?? All three clips would essentially represent the sound of each album.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnetin (talk • contribs) 19:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Let's make this page into a Featured Article!!! 

message: I had a chance to talk to Booth before their performance this February in Graz, Austria. One of the topics that (as I think) could be included here is their music-making methods. Booth says that they are not using MAX/MSP or similar sequencing software any longer, but moved to using hardware (which includes both digital and analog devices). However, this information could not be verified, as that was purely personal chat (not an interview). However, the sound on Quaristice indirectly confirms this. Could I include information like this in the article? I am neuron (talk) 13:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The simple answer is: Yes, anything that improves the encyclopedia is welcome. The complex answer is: Check out Wikipedia:Verifiability (particularly the nutshell). Hope that helps. -- Quiddity 17:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music-making methods and inclusion of personal non-verifiable information 

message: *Many describe Autechre's music as cold and austere, whereas others perceive a warmth and sentimentality that touches even the most cerebral pieces.  
*Autechre have emphasized that their music-making involves using new techniques on old equipment and old techniques on new equipment, and that their sound comes from combinations of tools and techniques, and "creative routing", more than any single magical machine.
*This has been the case since their early days, when, for example, they used a Boss delay that had a pitch/trigger input, allowing it to be used as a realtime sampler.
Please do not restore this information to the article without a citation.--BirgitteSB 03:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contested statements removed to talk 

message: A recent edit removed the sentence about Brown stating that the first couple of albums sounded, in retrospect, "cheesy". I've restored this. I don't necessarily agree with it myself, but it's relevant and it's referenced and it's surely of some interest to know what an artist thinks of their own work. I suppose it might eventually go in a section dedicated to critical responses to Autechre (I've half a mind to write one myself), but for the moment I think it's better where it is than not in the article at all. --Camembert (talk) 01:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Cheesy" early albums 

message: we need to keep a handle on WP:OR here. whilst Amber (colour) is undoubtedly the middle colour light on traffic signals, and Amber (album) is undoubtedly autechre's second album, to suggest any connection without a proper cite is pure WP:SYN --Kaini (talk) 02:14, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  article development 

message: Autechre's EPs are of equivalent importance as their albums and tidy enough to be easily listed, should they be listed along with the Studio albums in the quick discography? Neroli (talk) 23:14, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
