Tough call between 1 and 3 for me. Dial, I get what's going on but the endlessly rising motif, while a fun aural illusion, doesn't do anything for me heart or me brane. Gantz Graf is small but perfectly formed complex brutality. Cap.IV is of a kind with Lentic Catachresis, perhaps a fraction more haunting at the start and a fraction more dissonant at the end? Last time I spun this I thought it all broke down maybe a minute too soon, the noise went on too long, this time it seems fine.

"Cap.IV" is the best Autechre track of the past ten years. Easily.

my favorite ep of theirs, and this is the one I loan out to older friends who've cut their teeth on computer music classics and debate Bayle vs. Risset or what a turning point Harvey's 'Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco' is but can't bring themselves to listen to anything with a 'beat' -- i.e. beats have changed since the last time you heard them

Dog, you should try the same thing, but with Mira Calix's Nunu instead.

Cap.IV reassembling my auditory cortexsounds like a track from My Life In the Bush of Ghosts which was fatally scrambled by a matter transporter

For some reason I really dislike all the non-Gantz Graf songs on this.
