Most ridiculous post about 'NTS Sessions 1-4' album on the Autechre thread

I've only gotten through NTS 1 & 2 so far, but I'm finally starting on 3. Really gotta wait for the right afternoon to get into these.

tt1pd is a headbanger

If you moved "frane casual" and "column thirteen" to Session 3, then Session 3 would contain the highest number of tracks I cannot live without.

But Session 2 has "xflood," "gonk tuf hi," "dummy casual pt2," "violvoic," and "e0," which are all 5/5 imo.

If we ever poll the entire box, not sure I could pick between 2 and 3.

1 has "gonk steady one" and "four of seven" back to back, both of which are brilliant, but 1 has the highest number of tracks I might be tempted to skip.

I don't really get frane casual, just spins on the spot in a place that doesn't interest me. Though the fat yet hollow thrummm that develops in the background is something I could get into.

Trying to go back through the first 3 sessions to make a playlist of my favorites, but now it all seems strangely unfamiliar. So Autechre.

I like how everyone is afraid to actually make the poll

Or maybe no one wants to type out all of those ridiculous titles

Autechre - NTS Session 1 POLL

nts sessions is still so good you guys

i don't really notice that much anymore but tonight it just sort of hit me that this is very out-there, challenging and rewarding music.

i used to feel the same about frane casual but that track has a loooot going on, confined to an extremely weird and minute diorama with all the low tones bleached out.

i wish i heard this stuff when i listened to autechre, mostly sounds like bleeps n bloops to me :-/

don't let these nutters give you alien robocity synaesthete fomo!! it's bleeps n bloops

my soul is bleeps and bloops

New track?

family obligations prevent me from listening to it at this time.

Fuck, this is good!

it needs more digital reverb..

it's really good. reference to Netlon Sentinel from EP7? It exudes a similar cosmic darkness.. while being sort of dubstep??

... and sinitrailA/Bair from the NTS sessions, which it's a sort of remix of

i dig it

I just signed in to the AE store to redownload a prior purchase and this new single was available for free download from the dashboard.

This track really pays off.. after becoming fixated on the original Perlence track, on regular old Quaristice.

Thanks for the tip - downloading now.

yep, dl worked for me too. Thanks for the head's up!

now download option for me :(

For me it didn’t show up for purchase, I had to sign in and it was then already in my available downloads

Dang this is a fantastic track, too. Very much an NTS leftover, but really, it should have been on the sessions. wow.

It'd be a delightful twist of events if Autechre started using mechanical spring reverb (recording their sounds through amplifiers, etc.), instead of relying on the digital reverb-freeze effects that have been so prominent since the Quaristice days. I suppose it's ridiculous to consider such a thing. If anything, Ae seem to be moving further / farther away from hardware (old school synthesizers, Elektron boxes, etc.), towards this hyper-digital frontier

has there been a poll for Session 4 yet? that one is my favorite by far

Christmas number one material, this Sinistrail Sentinel :-)

Chart rules don't allow free downloads otherwise it would be a shoo-in.

who's going to start the session 4 poll then?

pendulu hv moda is sinistrail sentinel's moda if sinistrailAB air is its fada.

it’s not always the music that changes; sometimes it’s you, and the world around you, with the music becoming a fixed point against which you can measure your own inexorable journey through time.
