That's really well judged imo

The only omission ppl will really carp at is c7b2, if there's an outcry consider it for disc 1

c7b2 just doesn't grab me relative to the rest of the songs above. It's kind of borderline, like spTh. Both feel like B-sides/outtakes.

The arbitrary grouping/ordering of tracks really rubs me the wrong way. I don't think they're meant to be categorized by 'tastes' or whatever. The tracks have already been sequenced in a definitive order, I wouldn't listen to an alternate sequence unless given a green light by Ae, themselves. Sorry, not seeing the logic there. Also, I find the hard limiting (what is the term for that?) on the tail end of "spaces how V" harsh/irritating, the way the sounds cut out abruptly.. otherwise it's a nicely meditative take on the themes introduced in runrepik.

i think peeps can listen how they want to but obv i trust Ae's aesthetic judgement way more than their critics'

Was just listening on headphones with a Paul McCartney interview on Radio 4 filtering through the gaps in c16 deep tread, took the track to a whole new level \m/

Well, pitchfork have failed to recognise this as the landmark release it so obviously is.

c7b2 is a schaffel tune! The evolving granularity of the downbeat is endlessly enjoyable - the way it scratches and bubbles and scrapes.

I liked octobeard's post, and agree it's a well argued, err, culling. I may stop short of actually condensing / sequencing the 5 discs this way, but I am very intrigued by his disc 2, which I think, in theory, works especially well
― Wimmels, Sunday, 29 May 2016 13:33 (seven years ago) link
13x0 step/pendulu hv moda/curvcaten is a sweet little run, best autechre since AE_LIVE in Dublin/Utrecht/Denver.. haven't listened through enough yet to determine if the sequence needs a fix, but whatever floats the boat. for comparison, i think the sequence of Drukqs works fine, never thought it problematic and thought it silly to scramble the order. this is an entirely different beast, tho, prob not the best comparison. it's nice everything fits (mp3) on one disc, so i'll just let it run and tune in and out for diff parts. still kinda can't stand that irregular tremolo or whatever it is that causes the sounds to 'short out'/flicker/drop out etc.. same issue with the live material.

there's definite harshness/tinniness to mesh cinereaL that makes it a tough listen, though its beautiful in its churning form.. like it's perpetually shedding or mutating. bit harsh, though, yeah

Can you give an example of what you mean? I assume you mean the "sampler with the wrong voltage adaptor" type sound all over, for example, "pendulu casual?" If this is what you're referring to, I love how this sounds on headphones but I will concede that on speakers it always sounds like something is shorting out. But maybe that's part of the fun!
Count me among those who finds "Eastre" sorta boring (and I hate using that word as much as you hate reading it). It's not the stasis I mind (it's actually not really static at all), it's the fact that the sounds / textures are just completely uninteresting.
― Wimmels, Monday, 30 May 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link
Well I find pendulu casual a bit boring (for now). Consider us enemies (for now).

I don't think there's a single track on this that I find boring (admittedly after only 1.5 listens so far), which is I think the first time I can say this about an autechre album since Confield.
As much as I like autechre, I would never have expected this from a 4 hour album. I am very impressed.
― silverfish, Monday, 30 May 2016 17:04 (seven years ago) link
I still need to spend more time with 1 and 2 but I'm moving in that direction myself. 4 just blew me away the other night. I get a very Confield-esque feeling from a lot of these, in that they seem less like pieces of music made by humans and more like elemental forces in action - but then there are the superb beats in latentcall and the teasing way they disappear for a good long portion before slamming back, very human and very appealing.

feed didn't move me too much but I was eating my sandwiches. however I'm getting some seriously chilling 'Kill List' vibes off of those high-pitched tinnitus screeches on c16 deep tread. love how these get offset by the deeper resonances of the tuned drums.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 14:49 (seven years ago) link
13x0 step is giving me some serious c2009 popstep vibes. I almost expect LaRoux to start singing. Luckily she doesn't. Love how the track nearly overloads itself at the start and keeps sounding like the speakers are going to conk out.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 14:54 (seven years ago) link
pendulu hv mova - the beginning makes me think of trying to discern a distant danchall tune while desperately trying to cling to flotsam after a shipwreck. there's that feeling of being tugged under and then coming up briefly for air, and that constant 'thunk' all the way through like a lifeboat banging up against the ship's hull. see nice intercommy sounds, like a distorted emergency radio transmission coming through nearer the end.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 15:07 (seven years ago) link
not really feeling anything special about curvcaten right now.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 15:13 (seven years ago) link
elyc6 0nset - okay I'm going in again on this one. last time I heard it I was walking around a busy shopping centre in the sunshine and ended up feeling really rather peculiar. The beginning is quite Confieldy but IIRC it switches mode at some point into something really rather different
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 15:20 (seven years ago) link
kind of drifted off a bit for a few tracks. Eastre is okay in its droney, Bachian way but doesn't do anything close to enough to justify the length. mesh cinereaL just came on though and it's picking up the slack again.
