And now there are more posts discussing people who discussed stickers. lol
-
18 = 1-8. 8 hrs. 8 CDs. I think the sticker was made primarily for the CD edition.Whats up with the sticker? AE18. Am I missing something or can we expect four more sessions? It’s the year 2018 but nah...
It was not. I got vinyls and got the same sticker. It is cd size though.
That's what I mean. I too have the vinyl edition and also got the "CD version" sticker with it. I just think the sticker with its "1-8" thing was made with the CD version in mind but it could still mean 8 hours so it's not totally out of place with the vinyl boxset. There's no conspiracy and no four extra sessions. Occam's razor, mate.

Does anyone actually listen to bqbqbq?
I do. Not too fond of it (yet) but I'm sure it will grow on me like all the ae tracks that seem annoying at first.

From autechre subreddit:
NTS Sessions 1-4 is actually even longer on the physical editions.
Nothing too dramatic of course, but due to the way the sides of the vinyl are split up, and the tracklist for the CDs, there's technically a few extra minutes of sound.It's most noticeable with "shimripl casual" and "all end" on both the vinyl and CD. Where the two tracks would segue into each other on the download version, they're completely separated on the physical formats. There's about an extra minute at the end of "shimripl casual" and at the beginning of "all end."Some other small differences I've noticed:On the vinyl edition, "acid mwan idle" (03-C1) fades in a bit instead of starting at full volume as it does on the digital versions.On the vinyl edition, "mirrage" (04-A3) seems to run for a few seconds longer, and doesn't stop abruptly. On the digital versions, it segues into "column thirteen."If anyone else comes across anything different on the vinyl or CD, let me know! I'm trying to find all the little changes they had to make for this monster of a package.peal MA also is 30 seconds longer in the beginning
Did anyone notice that the harsh reverb sound at the very end of north spiral is longer?

Majority of folks who buy vinyl these days don't even have anything to play it on, which is why this new wave of vinyl fetishism by the masses continues to leave me perplexed.
Not sure that it's the majority but that kind of people surely exists. I personally don't care who buys what and for what reason. Nobody gets hurt in the process (well, there's some environmental impact when it comes to vinyl for sure, but still). I'm all for just letting people enjoy things.

Anyway, the box I have is in a perfect condition (is there even such thing as 'perfect'?). The discs are warped nevertheless. But I couldn't care less because it doesn't affect the playback in any way for me. It sounds great but that's pretty much the standard for AE vinyl. They always have the best sounding stuff. No surface noise whatsoever. Clicks and pops are almost nonexistent. This is an excellent pressing but I'm yet to hear a bad sounding Autechre-related vinyl so I don't find it surprising anymore.

Curious if it was mastered a lot differently for the wax release. Not sure why you'd want to listen to a 100% digitally produced ae sesh on wax that you have to go and turn around every now and then, this is play and zone out stuff for me personally. Not shitting on vinyl at all, just slightly confused.
It's a fetish. And a ritual. It's hard to explain, you either get it or you don't. Don't worry you are not necessarily missing out on anything. It's an artefact of something digitally made pressed on a medium that doesn't require electricity to produce sound (but it fucking helps). We'll be jammin' dem NTS sessions in the future post-apocalyptic world, ya know?
My man.

Just got a message that I will be getting the package tomorrow. Am ready for dem lushest vinylz!
-
Didn't you get the digitals at the time of the original purchase ?Got my confirmation for teh vinyl dispatch today. So no listening sesh this weekend for me.
Yeah, for sure. I've heard the material before. I've just been abstaining from it for the last couple of weeks and am waiting for the vinylz to arrive. It's just my little first world problem. This is a good place to whine, isn't it? My facebook "friends" wouldn't understand the agonizing severity of this struggle.

Pitchfork NTS related interview: https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/autechre-interview-nts-sessions-david-lynch-where-code-meets-music/

this album is such a beast. dense. detailed. sam & rod were definitely not short of ideas here.
i still regard this as their last actual 'album'. since then we've gotten live recordings (AE LIVE), extended jams of their tour material (ELSEQ), and the long evolving radio session jams (NTS), but we haven't gotten an actual "album", with all the WARP promotion, round of interviews, artwork, etc that that entails.
is there a difference? there is to me. there's something different about an "album" release. more work on the production, editing, mastering.
the stuff the've done since then has been cool and i've liked it but i still feel that something is missing. an extra level of polish or production, or depth to the sounds. it's hard to describe but if you put on exai now & listen to it you will immediately hear the difference. i feel like their current max-based system generates so much stuff that they are kind of letting all that output take the lead. lots of extended jams and sketches but not things that feel like finished works somehow.
Exactly, man. That's pretty much how I feel about post-Exai releases as well. While I'm still very intrigued by what they're doing now I would love to see a "proper" album released eventually. Something tighter, more focused and detailed, more thought-through regarding sequencing and length. To limit oneself is the greatest production tool in my opinion.
-
Still my most favourite ae release.
^^
This mother fucker has his balls safely secured in a nice, loving, nurturing environment...
Ready to explode everywhere with the power of Thor and Zeus and Jesus and the FSM and Buddah - all rolled into one - all over the face of some cum loving CD case... While EXAI is playing in the background.
And I'm right behind him, egging him on... Just hoping he'll whip it out, stick it in and hit 'play'...
=P
I love this album.
Haha, yeah, that sums it up pretty nicely :).
But seriously, I find Exai to be their most colourful album to date. It has everything I love about Autechre, there's not a single track I don't enjoy, it works great as a whole, the track lengths are optimal to properly capture the idea behind each track. The sound design here is very inspiring and somehow less clinical than on their other records, maybe because of the more apparent hint of nostalgia (some 808/909-esque percussion here and there), yet it doesn't sound retro at all. Also it's very melodic in a sense yet still very beat oriented. I just can't say anything bad about this record. Exai + L-event is my favourite Autechre era.
Autechre. NTS Residency. (_O_)

Looks pretty cool actually.
