Autechre Exai

slicing it all to shit now

xps basically get all the albums from force majeure to poland

yeah i've only ever tried their early/mid 70s stuff before.

4:30 immense jarre
4:36 IMMENSE eno

4:46 brief glimpses of the man behind the curtain

>xps basically get all the albums from force majeure to Poland

Ha ha Whoah There Now

I mean, ok fine that's the spirit (I was listening to Le Parc last week for the first time in a decade and laughing at the PPG sounds but also kind of digging it)

The last 10 minutes of 'Through Metamorphic Rocks' is definitely one of my top 5 TD moments

Are they not playing concrete stuff this year or has no one filled in those tracks yet?

mostly concrete stuff from what i've heard/read, just a couple of wtf sections.

way past my bedtime but i can't turn this off

5:09 sweet transition

OK PEACE OUT YO

sick deployment of FSOL there

uh ... under their 808 state pseudonym

This week I will mostly be listening to the mixes again from the top. So far they're suffering only marginally from missing the stream of idiot chat about stickers and skrillex, lack of rape jokes a bonus.

btw you can stream them from mixlr.com - http://mixlr.com/autechre/showreel/

Digging all the Residents in the Sun Mar 3 show ... does anybody know what the track at the 6hr mark is, sounds like Soft Cell talking about a 'hypermodern label' 12" that's haunting him?

that description sounds like the black hit of space by human league.

Yeeeeeeeah, cheers

holy fuck what a playlist

Wow man thanks!

hmmm... dunno why that didn't work. Watch it, it's hilair.

Actual funny, or funny for Autechre?

Both?

hmm good question

Is it washable?

Not anymore!

bladelores popped up on mp3 player on the way to work yesterday and i had no idea what it was.

did you think "holy moly what is this slab of awesomeness"?

had to dig the mp3 player out of my pocket as i was curious who it was, thinking it was one of the more progressive dubstep artists...

only just realised that there's an blindingly obvious human league sample running through deco loc.

Not intimately familiar with Human League outside of the Dignity of Labour tracks... care to link to the original?

Being Boiled, not sure which version. would be surprised, and a bit envious, if you were hearing this for the first time

not really a shock given that they are a couple of years older than me and growing up in and around sheffield, that they'd be all over the future / human league mk1 / caberet voltaire etc. i think the exai radio thing had a few of these tracks in it.

and i think the second half of deco loc has another sample in it, the vocals, but i'm not sure what it is.

I love this album, man do I find it a slog to get through the whole thing at once!

*but

i dont think this was conceived as a single sitting sort of lp

tend to think of autechre lps from quaristice onwards in this way, maybe because of the amount of alternate version on quaristice quadrange &c making the structural integrity of their lps something of a fiction........so just play what you want when you want

i wish they would mark which tracks are basically dirgey slogs

the human league thing, i had a google to see if i was imagining it and there's one other reference to it on the entire internet, some mention of a german interview on an autechre message board, followed by a couple of posts by people saying that they couldn't hear it.

http://forum.watmm.com/topic/77548-exai-reviews/page-10#entry1959059

While we're on the subject of listening to recent Autechre releases in chunks, a few months back I decided to reconcile the songs I enjoyed from Oversteps and Move of Ten to create a custom mix called "Move Over Ten Steps" which combined the two to form a much superior listening experience imho:

01. r ess
02. rew(1)
03. Treale
04. pt2ph8
05. nth Dafuseder.b
06. os veix3
07. see on see
08. d-sho qub
09. krYlon
10. iris was a pupil
11. qplay
12. Yuop

so what do you think is the sample, koogs? i hear a possible bit of phil oakey sericulture stuffing at 1:35, is that it? not that much of an HL fan, i haven't internalised being boiled.

stopping, not stuffing. apparently.

starts about 56 seconds into that HL video i posted above, those two bass notes and a bit of the drum clicks that follows vs 4 seconds in on the au track. it's chopped to shribbons and as distorted as fuck, but...

that 1:35 sample does sound a lot like oakey. the 2:00 sample is different though, and unfamiliar.

but mainly it's those notes. (and dig up the Future / Human League lp on spotify if you can)

pretty confident about the 1:35 vocal sample, not sure about the bass/drums but i'm ain't clear enough about what to listen for.

Do you mean this lp?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Hour_of_the_Future

version on spotify looks v different to the one in that link - 1200 alternative versions of dance like a star and a handful of other almost entirely different tracks. and oakey's vocals on dance like a star are killing any possibility of enjoyment.
