    Autechre - Oversteps (WARP210) [The MegaThread]

    in Autechre

    Posted

    lol

     

    well - i don't know exactly what happened - i think it had something to do with all that listening i

    did to move of ten. i put the phones on the other night whilst the wind was whirling and rain was

    spiting about in a tremendous thunder storm outside my little hut that i am living in and...

     

    ...well ..it's as though the album just slowed down and past into my ears in this particular way that

    allowed me to experience every detail of it bit by bit. it was as though i was on ecstasy again like years

    ago and i was having one of those visceral i'm hearing the voice of God through this music kind of moments.

     

    anyway it was amazing and i am better for it.

     

    I had the same experience as I was listening to it while driving with the car about 2 hours through heavy rain. I also had the feeling there is some awesome storytelling going on inside oversteps but in a very subtile way that generates intense pictures but leaves you with interpreting them. I am also saving up tracks like see on see for the right moments and try to avoid to play them in the background.

     

    last week I was listening to move of ten while hanging around with my girl and everything just seem to fit together perfectly she even insisted to put it back on after it finished because of the surreal mood it created. weird

    I have an Ikea expedit. If you're worried just reinforce the back, I don't imagine it being that difficult a job. They also come in smaller blocks than the big 5x5.

     

    yeah all pictures of broken down expedits show them standing free in the room or not mounted to the wall so I guess this is whats causing the instability:

    someone really needs to stop me - i've just discovered Arpanet :emotawesomepm9:

     

    lol I know that problem

     

    the knowledge of having to spend money on boc and aphex soon did stop me from buying oversteps on CD in addition to the vinyl yesterday

     

    also a friend told me: use your money on better playing equipment instead of buying the records so you have more value from the ones you have already

    guys im not about to read 295 pages of autechre masturbation

     

    i only have one question. what is the best way to convert these damned 24 kbps wavs to something itunes wont cry about

    (for windows)

     

    i know, lame. don't remind me

     

    why not play it with VLC?

     

    In case you want to play them in itunes just convert them to apple lossless and itunes will play them and you can upload them to your ipod in the lossless quality

     

    on osx its MAX that does the conversion

     

    just google "wav to apple lossless for windows" there should be a tool for windows too

    the shipping back of the CD did cost me €3 again and I assume they will not even give me some free merch for it ...

     

    well lets see I have not given up yet :lol:

    hang on, they sent you Oversteps on CD by mistake, and asked you to send it back to them so they can send you the vinyl? hmmm, looks like a policy change has happened...back in the WarpMart days, they'd have let you keep the CD and would've sent you the vinyl as ordered. i would hope they'd at least reimburse you for the cost of posting it back to them.

     

    I looked at the email again and they seem to refund it:

     

    Hi ------

     

    We are very sorry for this error. We are going to look into the New Zealand issue with our shipping company. It is very strange.

     

    Please return this CD to us at the following address, including a print out of this email. We will refund your postage cost from your original order. We are very sorry for any inconvenience.

     

    Bleep Returns

    PO Box 25378

    London

    NW5 1GL

     

    Kind regards

     

    Bleep Support

     

    then there was also this email a day later but I have no idea as I didn't buy it:

     

    Hi there,

    I'm afraid that the Raster-Noton CD you ordered from us is out of stock. You have been refunded and the remainder of your order has been shipped. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.

    Best regards,

    Bleep Support

     

    to be continued :happy:

    Ah nice

     

    I am still waiting for oversteps from bleep :lol:

    that's pretty shitty :( i know there's a lot of guys still waiting on it. it does seem like they're having some trouble there, someone's obviously fucked up big time.

     

    i personally fell foul of what i guess to be a cock up when i ordered Four Tet's There Is Love In You - hadn't received it, after two weeks had to get in touch. they sent another one out straight away, but it was a bit annoying. they tried to say that there was more than likely a problem with Royal Mail, but a friend who lives close to me got his on time.

     

    have you had any dialogue with Bleep over it yet?

     

    yeah I did send them 2 emails and 4 replies came back from 2 different persons

     

    one was even about some raster norton cd that had nothing to do with me

     

    lol

     

    I agree on the larger issue with the vinyls as one guy from the forum had the same issue receiving a cd from New Zealand instead of the vinyl which makes totally no sense

     

    the shipping back of the CD did cost me €3 again and I assume they will not even give me some free merch for it ...

     

    well lets see I have not given up yet :lol:

    just out of curiosity, what is inside the inlay?

     

    funny u ask:

     

    I found it quite interesting that the clark track is that old and the plaid and seefeel tracks are that new:

    I had the impression it was the other way round when I listend to them

     

    the rest looks like this:

    24127_1436108547672_1381721912_1186406_3243549_n.jpg

     

    I did buy it basically as mp3s did not make my warp20 complete I wanted the flac / CD tracks and I had the impression something was missing without it

     

    you should get it its really worth it
