who's the vocalist on ccec (on EP7)? Maybe they should bring him back?

serious answer: all of the above, in the same track, a one-off 80s style super-collaboration with all proceeds going to charity

xp the ae remix of tried by twelve breaks down the vocal in a very similar way to ccec (about 3:30 in - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APIpqkjxzBo ) so... ron smith?? https://www.discogs.com/artist/162434-DeS

mark e smith, kool keith, ghostaface killah, trimski, emma pollock

busta rhymes would be OK

Voted Bjork, but Kate Bush would be interesting to say the least. Not enough rappers in the poll though. ODB, Aceyalone, Gift of Gab and even Kendrick would be interesting pairings

Also Autechre remixed a SOPHIE's Bipp so there's another interesting vocalist for you

Donald Fagen

Sarah Bland

i like the idea of liz fraser doing it because her way of thinking about sounds of words rather than meaning seems like a good fit

jessy lanza would be good if they ever did a somewhat straightforward electro thing

voted Maria Callas belting it

GAM because she sings over pretty abstract music and makes it work, I guess Autechre would need to adapt and take a step in her direction (hip-hop ?)
Or for contrast, I could imagine Stina Nordenstam if Autechre accept to do softer songs
For another nomination, David Sylvian and Autechre can do whatever

I knew I shd've started FPing everybody on this thread yesterday before the list got too long

Rob Brown

The answer is Bryan Ferry

KÁRYYN for sure but that's not really outside the comfort zone

Wasn't there an old Autechre mix that had lots of vocal tracks, albeit Warp-y stuff like Jimi Tenor, processed a bit? I want to say it was called Radio Show?

I may have invented this, however?? (Can I have happy memories of something that might be a figment of my imagination?)

The Radio Mix promo has lots of remixes they did for other artists, including some with vocals, and also a fair bit of sampled film dialogue. I was listening to it on the weekend actually.

I've read an Autechre thread

Going with the King on this one

who would be a good vocalist for autechre?

Autechre's music is often instrumental and experimental, so the ideal vocalist would depend on the specific direction they wanted to take with the collaboration. However, here are a few suggestions of vocalists that could complement Autechre's sound:

Elizabeth Fraser (of Cocteau Twins)
Björk
Thom Yorke (of Radiohead)
Karin Dreijer (of The Knife)
Mark Hollis (of Talk Talk)
David Sylvian
Iggy Pop
Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons)
These vocalists are known for their unique and sometimes avant-garde vocal styles, which could add an interesting dimension to Autechre's experimental electronic music.

Thanks assert.

Rob and Sean should do it themselves

The real answer is probably a generated AI voice modeled after some abstract texture spitting verses in some unknown language

Can't think of anyone who would work better with Ae than Phew.

Max Headroom

Gilberto Gil circa like 1967/1968

scratch that, 1969

jun togawa, chara

arto lindsay?

lee perry, shabba ranks, krs one

I would pay solid money for Rob to grab the mic at a gig, beat drops, “BASS! Straight from the toppa my dome / as I rock, rock, rocka rocka rocka mikaphone …”

Neil Warnocks bedtime stories

I'm going to imagine hearing "Shabba!" in my head every quiet moment now, thanks

i think autechre do need a twist a change, so vocals would be a great idea

Arto is a good suggestion.

Joan Armatrading.

Curious to hear the case for Joan Armatrading
(And for Gilberto Gil circa 1968 but I assume that was a joke, sure made me laugh)

First album click jerky + timbre?

danny brown would be pretty good

T-Pain
