lol the more I think about the iphone idea the more genius it is you could even pretend to listen to the audio on headphones while recording the sound to the phone via audio jack and having the headphones not plugged in even if somebody would directly see you like this you could keep on pretending to listen to the sound via the headphones but at the same time it would be impossible to control the volume which explains the clipping

maybe he was even interrupted while playing the track that is there twice and started the track again to have a full recording

This is what i was thinking. Perhaps some little odd time differences can be attributed to the itunes crossfader or some equivalent people were talking about as well. I really enjoy the album, I feel like we've gotten plenty of this type of sound layered in the work before under nice rhythmic percussion but now its more focused or present. I never clicked with regular music theory of scales and stuff so perhaps odd note progression is less important to me and I am just digging the atmosphere and odd development through the songs...ae got me into more beat heavy and hip hop based music as well so I'm sure that tips the scale as well. I've only listened to it twice so I may be back with a better understanding of what i like... If its not ae i have a new favorite artist, if it is ae i have a new favorite album. edit: also they better come to the bay area cause the quaristice show was 21 over and now that is not a problem lol I would also do the audio jack cable rip in case I could not take the cd out of the studio and did not like to leave traces + its unlikely they have a cd ripper installed there which you could use without leaving traces + install some external hard drive to copy the files afterwards attaching an iphone via audio jack cable and record it is the fastest and least traceable method you could even remove it very fast in case you did it while nobody was there and you are being interrupted even ripping the cd to a laptop would be much harder to hide in case its a studio where people come and go and expect these things to happen

lol nice

Quaristice is derivative and piecemeal. It's the one album in their catalog, that if magically disappeared and/or was never made, their creative trajectory would have never been affected. disagree

my girlfriend hates Quaristice too she said I would want to convert her into Autechre after listening to it very often in the last time and I should stop it lol

maybe the person recording the leak was unable to get direct access to the cd itself but was able to record the output maybe they had some kind of listening session and the person responsible for the promotional cd was not giving it away so this would be the best way to do it and would also explain the clipping and double tracks

Fair and valid point, but still it's odd because it's German. It's not that I dislike the germans, but wouldn't it be more logical if they had chosen a more international/universal source? Something English for starters?! I looked it up again and the radio show is even a combo show of the two big German scene magazines Groove and de:bug so its really not something unimportant but sure you are right its strange in a way to not use a English one but maybe they don't care so much who plays it first as long as its a big one what makes me wonder that there was no real big announcement about this at all they even delayed it to a show a week later more or less randomly about the leak: I could imagine they had it in the German radio show and someone did some kind of direct recording out of the closed maybe even digital system at the radio station via a portable recording device and some audio jack cable (iphone maybe or something better which would explain the apple format and clipping) they don't use CDs at radio stations often do they? its all on hard-drive

I just don't get why they didn't release the files yet maybe the mastering is not finished

haha yeah hopefully so, we haven't received it yet though! So you haven't received the promo but a, to me obscure, German radio channel did receive the promo?! Isn't that odd? If you think about it.. why does this German radio channel get the authority to play the VERY FIRST tracks over say for example Mary Anne Hobs? I reckon more people are familiar with Mary Anne Hobs.. it would attract a broader range of people... I for one hadn't heard of Radio FRITZ before...... and German > English, guess not?! I reckon promo cd's are sent out in batch? Why would they delay your promo disc? (for which magazine do you write?) the radio is not obscure and the djshow is related to de:bug the biggest German experimental music magazine: http://de-bug.de/

so you did listen to it finally

who did leak it by the way? it was a member of this forum right? how about a little statement from his side about what he knows about it or is that all confidential?

maybe people are still unsure where to put it as it is really some more or less unexpected turn for autechre to go all the way into melodies + confusion about leak being some kind of line rip so if you would write a detailed review now and it would turn out fake you would kind of ridicule yourself I did not listen to it on proper speakers yet but I am pretty impressed so far

yeah I noticed this too

totally agree

he thinks its funny as we have paid for awesome quality and spoil the experience by listening to a bad online leak I assume he does not know that its 320kbs I don't agree with him but I do understand the point

its a similar way the ipad was marketed even with the mock-ups aka fakes

I am feeling totally the same right now yesterday I searched in the very old topics of the new releases section just to find something to distract me from listening to quaristice non stop today I found a decent techno set that keeps me distracted for some time ... but how long...

this

when quaristice is their definition of ambient I am totally in

+ it sounds like quaristice cd 2 as the guy with the promo cd told and a bit of plaid

what what what WHAT? 020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210020210 looks nice looks like autechre would like it lol
