Are you telling me this is AE: SIGN? (Autechre LP 14)

this reminds me of fennesz a little bit!

oh man it's so pretty

most flat out beautiful track they've done in a decade

feeling like i'm trapped in a slow-motion horror film and klaus schulze did the soundtrack

yeah I already like the beatless tracks here better than all the beatless tracks on NTS (and I'm a freak for NTS)

very emotional

ok we're gonkin

The comment above about "How are they always new?" is ringing hard with this.

ok we're gonkin

like a streamlined nts jam, really sick

I already preordered the LP and the stream keeps cutting out so I'm gonna bail on this but I loved everything I heard

this one

feel like the beat tracks are interludes between the ambient tracks, which are the highlight! another gorgeous one

oh man this is soooo good

"gr4" more like gr8

feel like the beat tracks are interludes between the ambient tracks, which are the highlight!

otm

gah don't stop

gr4, of all the songs so far, deserves the 20 minute NTS treatment haha

i gotta lie down

aoty

yes

for real

properness

And Brad came in late! The opener was probably their best opener since Cipater

yes and it's probably not even in the top 5 tracks so far

ooo let's have a fight about an album that we haven't finished listening to yet cuz i stan the opener

these chords could mash up well with I've had the time of my life from Dirty Dancing lol

just absolutely losing my shit to this one ("th red a")

why isn't this out until next friday! i already want to hear it 300 more times

these chords get better the more i hear them. this is gonna be a blissed out headphones album for sure. shame i never get to bliss out with headphones any more!

wow some super abrupt endings to these tracks.

This square wave synth sound is something I haven't heard from them since literally Amber.

oh this is IT. nodding solemnly rn

that's what struck you first and not the kick????? xp

(but i mean, well spotted)

yes, love these sounds so much more than the glassy chimes that dominated oversteps.

I randomly threw on Amber earlier today and it's surprising this doesn't sound worlds away. I've only caught a couple tracks but I'm way more psyched than I thought I would be.

I'm losing my shit over this record

EVERY SINGLE TRACK

what a closer

xp Yeah that's kind of the shock to me. This is easily their most consistent record since.... LP5?

gossamer trails

Like in the past I've often made custom playlists of their releases, or usually there's always 1-3 tracks on a record of theirs I will skip.

Not a single thing here warrants anything short of your complete attention.

agreed. I can't wait to hear this again

whomp

Love that their classic Juno 106 bass sound lives on in this finale.

This is easily the first Ae album fans who departed in 2001 might actually enjoy. Much more so than even Oversteps.

this is actually lush tho

last track is a portal

that might have been the highlight of 2020 for me

*stands up alone in bedroom, applauds*

wow
