did some thorough cleaning of the discs in an antistat bath and now it sounds good, yay! i wonder where the hell did they store teh vinylz that cleaning is required for them to be listenable

i'll try to clean it up properly first, the grooves might be dirty... but yeah, when i received warped NTS sessions discs they immediately sent a new batch to me

let me know if you have any issues with the pressing pls i've checked the discs again and i don't see a single scratch, that's actually not a good sign (lol)

third listen - i'm falling hard for this record

incomplete without smartphone speaker lowcut

good, that's the proper way to listen to music, i've seen many kids doing that, it's cool

is your copy of digi-vinylz ok tho?

second listen in (now w/ headphones) - the album makes much more sense and is far more pleasant, diametrically

at least you can listen to tri rep without having to own a turntable for the "complete" experience ?

to me it's an artefact, a physical representation of the music, i enjoy the ritual of sitting back and putting the needle on the record and listen, (to me) it's a very different experience than mp3/flac/whatever due to those reasons... still, i do listen to digital maybe 95 % of the time because of the convenience then there's a collector mentality, as i music nerd, i just like to have them and look at them i guess from sonical point of view i expect it to be listenable, i don't expect perfection, my copy of SIGN suffers too much from the accompanying noise to the point it's very distracting... i never had the same problem with any AE record before

idk what you're talking about, sorry, i've never said anything about vinyl providing superior quality or any other "myth" you're hinting at, that's not the reason i collect them at all

I expect clicks and pops here and there as all the records I've bought last 10 years (and prior AE records for some reason sound the best of them all), not a full on noise barrage.

So, first listen is behind me. My copy is kinda fucked up. Sides A to C suffer from a LOT of surface noise (complete with surface noise, amirite? nah, disappoint). I don't see any scratches tho. I'll try to clean it later. Hope it's just my copy and you're all alright guys (let me know). Music-wise I can't comment much. Didn't feel as easy listening as some of you say. I would say on the contrary in my case. This was the hardest Autechre related listen to me yet. I need more time with the album.

Oh yeah, that makes sense, lol. Huh, that's weird.

Anyone wants the download code? There was a card. Not sure why it's included as the digital vinylz have been added automatically after the stream.

nah, not really

So I guess I'm having a listening sesh today!

The thing is I've seen it on another forums that people started making acronyms based on that sentence from the interview.

Oh, I see, like (name) initials or something. Makes more sense now. Well that's what I thought but the sentence didn't make sense much and I didn't get how ppl arrived to abbreviation from that.

Quick question: initialization = abbreviation?

Yeah, extremely short :/.

Exai + L-event was originally planned to be released as a series of five EPs but ended up as an album (Exai = 4 vinyl discs) and an EP (L-event = 1 vinyl). Fun fact: L-event vinyl package fits into the Exai box along with the four discs.

Yeah, I get you. I just feel like people are focusing too much of their attention on something that's not really confirmed (doesn't currently exist) instead of a fresh new album they have at their disposal. I.e. not living in the present but always looking for something new and shiny ahead. That 'never enough' mentality.

Well, then, good luck with that ?
