Wake up to NTS4 and Dirty Computer tomorrow, xmas eve feels right now! Shame I've had to skip the live radio experience, wee small hours weeknight in my timezone.
-
I started with Amber in 2007, but that was more about the album than the artist in general. I had no plans at that stage to continue on with other ae albums. The Quaristice release was an immediate fave of mine, largely responsible for stirring my interest in Autechre and Warp Records in general. I had just turned 19, and according to my iTunes I've listened to the front half through Rale at least 50 times.

Rob & Sean are the Aubrey & Maturin of their day. Consistently excellent, prolific, rich in comedy and adventure, complex hardware, hypersensitivity to new lifeforms and environs. I suspect Patrick O'Brian would have been a big fan, I bet he had ep7 on rotation when he died.

Now hearing t ess xi in t1a1, and c16 deep tread in icari. Love all the little elemental relations.
-
I'm still using my Sennheiser HD 201 for around the home, and MX 80 sport earbuds for out and about, which I've both had since mid 2009. Far too easily satisfied.
-
still hoping that AE + EL-P collab is gonna happen some day Some root elements of Osla also pop up briefly in glos ceramic. It is sad how brutally supplanted they become. I'm incredibly attached to NTS3, so the thought of NTS4 is vaguely threatening, however enticing. ye old t1a1 feels as embedded as the 90s stuff now.
-
That transition from nineFLY to shimripl deserves more love, how nineFLY teleports to the shimripl periphery in preparation for the last 50 seconds.

There'll be a perfect Autechre album for everyone once all the sessions are released, pick n mix heaven Oddly, I don't feel the need with NTS. I'm happy with them in the NTS1, NTS2, etc. formats. Elseq I wanted to separate out a bit of 2, 3 and 5, but I'm more attached to these as individual albums.
-
haha that happened to me 3 times last week. Was straining to hear the mouse squeak of tt1pd whilst steamrolled by wind.
-
The thing I learnt from NTS2 is that you can be saddled with 3 casuals and still be an excellent release. That's my vague impression as well. Casual played a bit loose, see what comes up. I assume 'stpl' is stipulate idle, so that works, some elements in the track are put into a fairly static pattern crawl.
-
I know :O It just feels like one of their very best albums. We'll be talking fondly about this one for many years to come. Untilted, Confield, Amber, Chiastic Slide, Exai and Draft are going to be tough to overtake for me, but I can feel it overhauling Quaristice and Tri Repetae today. I haven't been immediately knocked out by an ae release at this magnitude before, desert island material. I'm too conservative to commit to something declarative after 2 days of listening, but this is beyond my wildest imaginations.
-
NTS3 is my favourite album since A Moon Shaped Pool.
-
I get a singer-songwriter/crooner feel from nineFLY. You can also hear irlite fly in tracks like tt1pd and icari, the star of the album.
-
When in the mood, NTS3 is astonishingly gripping, well inside their top 10 works.
-
So they DID do it again. Elseq is officially eating dust. NTS1-4 might be the greatest release of the decade at this rate.
-
I was at the beach when glos ceramic started and then the skies instantly started to drip. Made the trip home just in time before it poured (in the last minute of track). Can't help but imagine charging, darkening nimbuses. I remember back in the day whenever I played pce freeze in the car a police car would materialise.
-
With NTS2 I immediately gravitated to the center (Gonk tuf hi through e0) whereas with this it is all about the opening three and closing two bookends for now. NTS3 sets the pace, but I'll need to listen to the central tracks a few more times to put this up with NTS1 or 2.
-
thus far, I can see shimripl and splesh getting a lot of early plays. All in all, more on the level of an EP or lesser elseq (for now), but heaps to explore.

shimripl sounds like a TD Zeit radio edit

NTS2 is currently bolded on RYM.

Just going back through the 12 hours of pages, nice work guys. Sillies for thinking there was anything vaguely gonk in there, but nice get on the nines. Currently 2/3 through tt1pd, NTS3 has a live-ly unhinged EP vibe thus far.
