Assuming session 4 has as many highlights as the other 3, for a band to release 2-3 hours of incredible music 4 releases in a row (Oversteps/Move of Ten, Exai, Elseq, NTS) in a decade? That's pretty incredible
― octobeard, Friday, 20 April 2018 01:34 (six years ago) link
FWIW - icari is the crown jewel of Session 3 for me.

does nobody rate AE_LIVE_DUBLIN, or Utrecht? for real, these sets are f'ing beautiful.

yes puzzles but the bangers in NTS 1 are good too??
yeah i dig a gnarly banger. but i listened to the 2005 glasgow art school set for the first time recently and that's like a puzzle that bangs *swoons*
yep, in terms of variety and detail they are incredible.

Firing up Session 3 now.

Some deep bass on Session 3. "tt1pd" could almost be something off an Electric Ladyland compilation.

the ending bit that slowly increases tempo provokes a strange bout of anxiety in me

that speedy drum loop with the quick bass drum rolls and the popping distorted snares eventually showed up on one of the quaristice releases, right? love that part & vaguely remember being a little disappointed with the 'studio' ver at the time.

It's more like something off Untilted, definitely similar to LCC, maybe elements of Sublimit as well.
― lana del boy (ledge), Wednesday, 25 April 2018 10:23 (six years ago) link
duh, LCC! yeah, that is quite close. it's also literally the first thing you hear on that record, so um yeah, I haven't put untilted on in a few years.
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Wednesday, 25 April 2018 12:51 (six years ago) link
there's definitely parts of Quaristice in there too though. most notably "IO" though I'm sure there's more than that
― frogbs, Wednesday, 25 April 2018 13:18 (six years ago) link
forgot how much I love "iera". intro just sounds so slippery and that soft white noise acting as a hi hat... mmm...

no FLAC-related issues with NTS 3 btw. listened to that bad boy all weekend. autechre's support team is ON IT!

just checked in to see if George Starostin took the time to review all the elseqs, and what do you know he did
its pretty amusing to me b/c Starostin is kind of the prototypical Ae semi-fan who'd been thrown by the wayside long ago - he likes the early stuff, thinks they completely lost it with Confield, maybe has some time for Oversteps....but his OCD-fueled review style kinda forces him to review everything in earnest, even if he doesn't like any of it. hey, credit to him for trying.
also, lol @ this line: "I just hope they won't take five more years and come out with a 20-volume album"...well it was 2 years and 12 LPs...enjoy !!!

NTS has all sorts of wonderful things. I just learned about them a few months ago. Search for Haruomi Hosono day

sorta curious what Autechre fans think of his last album

i didn't know he had one after 'koch', which i liked

it's a lot more frenetic than 'koch', takes a bit to warm up to but it's fun as hell. it's on HyperDub and it does kind sound like a "HyperDub album" if you know what i mean.
― brimstead, Thursday, 26 April 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
the live set they're playing on https://nts.live RIGHT NOW(which will be available for replay when it finishes in sixty seconds so don't sweat)xp

listening to set 4 now. This is pretty amazing and unlike anything I've heard from them before.

they're still touring + all end = ae ?

not their longest track either, Perlence subrange 3-36 is fifteen seconds longer :-)

so that was just the end of bladelords x30
pretty cool
― frogbs, Thursday, 26 April 2018 20:34 (six years ago) link
Yup... exactly what I was thinking as I heard it.
Sooo this is going to be released on vinyl? They just going to fade out/fade in all end for the last disc?
― octobeard, Friday, 27 April 2018 01:01 (six years ago) link
and at 58 minutes you're looking at A Wizard, A True Star levels of audio degradation trying to fit 30 minutes of music on a side...
― octobeard, Friday, 27 April 2018 01:02 (six years ago) link
Three sides, for sure. It's 3 x LP per session.

It's low on dynamics and bottom end with barely any sharp transients so I think 30 minutes a side wouldn't actually be too much of a stretch. You'd get high end loss towards the centre and surface noise but I can see that working with the audio.
― Gonk Steady Crew (Noel Emits), Friday, 27 April 2018 11:01 (six years ago) link
I mean if stuff like Calypso Frelimo or half of E2-E4 can go on a side that will really be no problem.
― Gonk Steady Crew (Noel Emits), Friday, 27 April 2018 11:04 (six years ago) link
Maybe so, but they won't put the other four tracks on a side each. For one thing the levels would be way off between a well cut six minute side and a workable 30 minute side.It'll be
