I have been feeling like shit and that last track pierced through my shields and I felt a wash of calm through me and now I'm crying a bit, so there's that.

Because I don't understand time zones, I only heard the last track. It was very pretty! Based on the above I'm guessing it resonates more in context.

it's like 80% very straightforwardly pretty. kind of a beach at sunset album imo. definitely not what i was expecting.

I think I heard the last two tracks because I only just got done with work and realized why this thread kept popping up to the top of new answers
I might actually get this though & I've felt this band were taking the piss for, like, decades

Oh my, the site said "DOWNLOAD: 0 OF 11 TRACKS" but I clicked the link and it's downloading! Good thing, since I assume the vinyl is, like, three months away.
― assert (MatthewK), Thursday, 8 October 2020 21:45 (three years ago) link
yeah i downloaded it too. and i'm at work! lol. hopefully the download option will still be there when i get home.

I dunno but there is a definite BOC vibe to some of these tracks

Right, I've submited my copy, so I can talk about this now. gr4 is definitely my favourite - like a string quartet! I also like the trippy-uppy rhythm of 'si00' - I've no idea how this works musically, it's like the kick is going slightly too quick but keeps falling over - I'm sure I've had dreams a bit like this, like when you're trying to run somewhere but can't seem to get anywhere. Definitely cut from a similar cltoh to Oversteps, but it's not the same. This is exactly the Ae album I wanted. Definitely didn't need 'NTS Sessions 2.0' in 2020

I can't get over how massive and gorgeous M4 Lema is. In many ways it's the exact track I've been hoping they'd write since Confield came out, something that perfectly combines all of the classic and modern ingredients that make up their sound and aesthetic, while sounding deeply emotionally and even spiritually resonant and lush while anchoring a sick ass hip hop beat.

schmefd 2 is one of the most difficult tracks they've done. it's almost what 12-tone? with some detunes. very weird.
album has a 'tomorrow's harvest' vibe to it speaking of boc. but it's a lot better lol.

this fits a nice autechre niche for me, beautiful but idiosyncratic. 'nts' remains a staggering achievement and my personal fav.

damn the last track on this is a real stunner. so much space.

Downloading all the files when you pre-ordered it already (still?) works, so... Blasting this in an otherwise empty office. Dark skies, w/ rain coming down. Fuck me. So many feeellsss

Well this makes sense as I am a huge TH fan and I can definitely see that connection, especially in the sadness and world-weariness of some of these tracks. Has Ae ever made music this beautifully sad? Maybe a few things on Amber but certainly not lately.
After one listen I have no idea if this will replace Confield and NTS as my favorite Ae, but I really do think it has a shot at doing so, which is a pretty remarkable feat this late in the game
Wish I'd ordered from Warp but in my haste I preordered from Boomkat when the LP was temporarily sold out on the Warp site so no early downloads for me
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 9 October 2020 10:10 (three years ago) link
there was a talk of more than one album in the pipeline, i wonder if there's going to be a big tonal difference between this and whatever else they've got up their sleeves

I was listening to Autechre yesterday while my family made fun of it/me. Mostly because I wanted to see her reaction I showed my older daughter an online demo of Max/MSP and I was shocked at how well she immediately understood and appreciated the concept. It was pretty neat to see!

"Someone I know" downloaded a leak of this and it was Negativland's Over the Edge Vol. 3 split into 11 tracks. It's like the Internet of the early '00s never died.
