    I think I missed the memo, what's "the green one" people are talking about? An actual rumored second album or a classic WATMM inside joke?

    Still loving this on day 2

    There was an inside rumour in one of the threads here before the announcement of SIGN that mentioned two manufactured albums, orange and green with similar covers. That's green for you.

    As for the second album, Saddam said there are two albums ready when he was chatting extensively on mixlr earlier this year.

    I don't like this album, it has sorta cool pompous porous sound until it starts to heavily wear ears.

    I enjoy the first track a lot, i love the crawling bass in the second half of th red a, these things certainly make it not hateable.

    The closer is nice, yet feels like another go at this very familiar type of closure (Oversteps/Exai sort).

    Waiting for green one here

    while the mixlr jams clearly show they're sitting on maybe hundreds of hours of this shit but yo, autechre do the fuck they please. good.

    I don't see how it shows that, there's a lot of snippets of tracks we know going as far as Exai period and touching on live tracks, so it really shows that the released stuff is likely all that was in any polished state. They could develop some others further, not hundreds of hours

    Facepalm Amen Lare? Why?

    There's a limited amount of options to show deep disagreement:

    "More than any other other album this feels like a distillation of everything they've done previously"

    It's simply not a distillation (nor could it be, they're not going in the same direction for that to be an appropriate figure of speech), i mean you may feel as you like of course, just a reaction

    while listening to the stream, the watmm new post notification "BLOINK!" sound went perfectly with the album lol

    Mute the tab didn't work for me, it could be alright in small doses, felt a bit like watching porn with a superchat (THANK YOU!!! from the actress echoing, what a disgusting world we live in)

    Ok so I missed a majority of an album, was it all BOCish nostalgia tracks or was it some variety of beats? I'm curious..

    There were three tunes with consistent beats (1-5-7 or something), namely the first one was tight

    you're probably right, kinda far fetched, just something about the snare sound that immediately reminded me of it.

    It's sonically reminiscent and not only in the snare, i would agree it probably belongs to "spl" fame, but there's a lot of similar ground covered in recent huge batches, so the list loses clarity a bit when we start detecting traces

    Warp 2020 releases? ???? ??? ?? ????

    Should be the green Ae (we already know from the inside rumour that proved to be true that both LPs were manufactured at the same time), see no reason to hide Battles-calibre under that, Seefeel not so big as well.

    4 characters of the album name seems fitting too (mirrors SIGN), tho the missing question mark is troubling -- maybe they took one out

    nearly, basically what sean said was the whole twitch streaming thing was a red herring, meaning that fans shouldnt hope its some sort of near-release promotion thingy like they did with the webcasts when a new album was close. 

    I believe he was talking about the track style (it was one track morphing thru days basically), he wasn't that specific.

    And we already were informed that the release is postponed heavily, so i don't agree with your interpretation

    "Traces of spl47" also has traces of plyPhon and 90101-51-1, no?

    Hey chill out! How about none of that and not more of everything

    I mean you can go far with such "traces", not the strong part of that beautiful list

    I tried to give that video he linked to a fair chance. 4 minutes in the lawyer says "The allegedly new and highly dangerous coronavirus has not caused any excess mortality anywhere in the world." It's like flat earthers all over again.

    He continued that same passage and said that deaths were basically connected to corona measures. No logical contradiction (not interested to watch it all). I'm on your side, but when you dismiss people's argument at first opportunity, it gives off heavily biased vibe. And in the next post you immediately go "facts don't matter, i know this crazy dude"... (strawman) Fair chance my ass

    so disinfo is preempting the excess mortalty argument now. excess mortality is the exact thing that confirms the death toll and utterly disproves the nonsense about artificially inflated death tolls. excess mortality is comparison of total deaths versus the same time of year in previous years. of course, the difference this year matches the covid death toll closely.

    (...)

    Same argument as above absorbes the charts, excess deaths due to measures (no regular medical care etc.). You fight the most easily defeated point like it shows anything

    Since i was unpatiently going thru the file for twitch thread discussion (on who did which tracks, suggesting Saddam did these), i want to add 103 (36.01-36.06) as early/alternate nineFly, or rather the source of it that was morphed

    interesting document on evangelical indoctrination done to kids. the head lady compares it to how the middle east uses radical islam on their children to brainwash child soldiers. "the only difference is we're right" she says. can't argue with that right?

    It sounds like an easy and overkilled target by today. I see that the film's not new and that the camp was shut down after the movie, really no way to argue with that

    Quadrange was very much a foreshadowing, what become elseq 1-5 and the NTS Sessions. And the experiment to boil down this bigger, more organically built pieces to they very essence, to 3-5 minute-long, very concentrated moments and fuse these musical moments to a greater narrative (the album itself), is in my view something genial. But i can understand, it's not everybody's taste to drink undiluted concentrates... but for me it's perhaps their most entertaining record. 

    I see almost everything they've done since, as growing out from ideas planted in Quaristice. 

     

    Now this talk just seems as an exercise in rhetorics to me, so i have to state the opposite view.

    Quadrange was not a foreshadowing to elseq/NTS in any way other than releasing many tracks, it was all alternative takes on the same few tracks instead of all the different ones.

    "Undiluted concentrates" were edited jams as we were told, you can edit something down only so much, it stays jammy in nature, i.e. a shorter cut, not concentrated version of a bigger thing -- and all the really similar versions outside the main LP showed that. If anything, diluted is far more appropriate description, you don't generate many intense ideas on the fly, especially in electronic music, however more "organic" it may be built.

    Where you see almost everything, i see nothing as growing out from Quaristice, even the next LP they've done was a stylistic/sonic far cry right away. In fact, it's Quaristice that grew out of Untilted live set in places. Care to give a couple of examples? Preferably belonging to the most impressive by your assessment.

    I can agree on the point that Quaristice was needed as a sort of liberation off painstaking crafting, but it doesn't mean that they would at once create this monster of overloaded creativity many think of it, rather the opposite.
