Autechre Exai

I guess Basscadet is kind of danceable...

i know traditionally autechre gigs contain one guy thrashing around like he's on pcp and another hundred just standing there stroking their chins, but it's not like a great deal of their tracks don't have some kind of regular rhythm at a reasonable tempo.

that review is a little strange but I can def see how this might be too much ae for someone that isn't totally on board

that's exactly right, the thing with Autechre is you really have to be 100% on board to really enjoy them, they don't meet you halfway sometimes the way someone like Aphex will. not judging if this is good or bad but Autechre are really 100% up their own asses in that regard.

5.8 is a pretty brutal score taking that into consideration.

*even taking.

I agree with that reviewer that a 2+ hour autechre album is a bit too much. I like this album, but I don't listen to it from beginning to end (mostly because of time constraints, but I think it would be the case even if I had plenty of free time). There's only so much new autechre one can take in at once. I think I prefer the album + EP approach they took with their last couple of releases.

although for all I know, they are going to release a 4 hour EP in a couple of months

who gives a shit about a pitchfork review

A bit off topic but I got bought the 100 track Bleep100 comp for Xmas and didn't quite know how to listen to it. eg burn it onto CDs, play in alphabetical order, jump to the artists whose names I liked etc. Should probably start a thread and review everything on there.

they kinda did that for quadrange

a positive review, features a few tracks. "bladelores" on soundcloud.

either way, this review is way better than the one they did for Untilted. That one made me tear up a bit.

my review http://thequietus.com/articles/11482-autechre-exai-review

an impressive career straddling four decades

shut up!

hahah, quite a lot of people found that perturbing, but 1987-2013 technically straddles four decades so it's not wrong.

dog latin otm, stfu ledge u pleb

i'm just not used to record reviews making me feel old & question my mortality.

80s autechre is my favourite

early quaristice demo from 1984:

LOL Has there been any 80s Autechre released? When was Lego Feet? That was '91 IIRC but I'm sure something must have been released in 1990... Christ, I was 10 years old in 1991.

sprog latin

20 years ago I didn't know what an Autechre was, and now I Ae one.

(what a horribly formed "joke")

good review dog latin. the album is amazing, can't really talk about these guys anymore.

what's this countdown all about?

(scroll down)

two more discs?

Two countdowns ... video? Tour dates?

I think it's the length of the next EP

Isn't it the US/UK release dates for the physical media? Not sure

it's 20:00 on saturday evening (GMT) so i doubt it's the physical release, that'd be a monday morning (tuesday in US)

It'll be a 12 hour webcast or whatever.

hope so those things are always great!

an accompanying EP would be sweet as hell
