    I really hope this album will have lots of guest vocals and collaborations with other famous musicians. That would be perfect.

     

    Sarcasm got his wish.

    hmm yeh

    when was that pharrell dude ever relevant.. let alone have an addition as a vocalist? (apart from sales..)

    although it is out of context and in low quality..a meh from me towards that coachella thing

    pharrel and the neptunes were very influential for a while, even tagged as geniuses. then they realized they really liked money and being celebs.

    That's true, here's proof of relevancy at 1:15.

    Though I must say that Pharrell dude had done pretty impressive pop stuff like Señorita for Justin Timberlake.

  2. they doing totally insane things like using real instruments and playing disco?that Todd Edwards dude is a piece of work.

    Funnily he's the guy from records of whom Burial learnt his vocal chops, if I'm not mistaken. The chops that, needless to say, overruled the popular electronic music world. Edwards sounds like a bum in a limousine compared to Moroder and Rodgers.

  3.  

    Just occurred to me that "bladelores" sounds like a stereotypical Japanese guy saying "bread rolls". My conclusion is that one or both of Autechre are fucking racist. I'm pretty sure at least Sean is.

     

    Pretty sure I heard in one of their interviews that Sean is fond of Japanese home cooking (as am I).

     

    I interpreted the title bladelores in more of a literal sense - like a legend of knights in the forest or something.

     

    I always thought of it as childish b-boy anagram for rollerblades, nah? Sorry if there's a ton of photoshop on the theme out there.

  4. Fuck that guy. Confield is better than all musique concrete ever existed. Anyway it's absurd to call out Ae by still praising that lab's stuff, the creator of which, Pierre Schaeffer, publicly said near death that he wasted his whole life searching for anything outside the seven notes. There's nothing there, he said. It was one of the most powerful existential statements of the century in music.

  5.  

    lol @ the rubber-ducky noises in runrepik. that PWANG at 3:11 at makes me laugh every time. also cloudline sounds like their fucked-up take on r+b, I quite like it. the most chilled Exai track.

     

    I wonder if we'll get a truly 'experimental' or challenging album from them again?

     

    :facepalm: another ill-conceived Ae opinion brought to you by Lianne, quelle surprise.

     

    I love this album but think she has made a fair point. I mean wasnt 1 of them quoted as saying that Confield was like pop music compared to what they could have put out? Which sounds strange when you think esp the last 3 albums have been quite a bit more "pop" for want of a better a word (tho the quote sounds like the kinda shit people say for the sake of it in interviews so might just be bollocks, infact sounds like something afx would say!)

     

    But yeah the last 3 albums seem more like they are having fun and just doing what they enjoy and it sounds wicked, But wonder if they will ever do another game changer type album when even the hardcore fans are like what the fuck is all this about! Do people even think such a thing is possible?

     

    Anyhow they have pushed enough boundries in the past anyway and its not all about doing something really new and different and for the record I think Exai is going to be in my top Autechre albums & possible my fav, but stil early days to tell

     

    I do believe in that quote, after all Gantz Graf was released straight after Confield, but that doesn't mean more methodically edgy stuff would sound more challenging. Do Hafler Trio collabs sound less pop, for example? I think so, though it's nothing groundbreaking because of its dull form. Actually if you want radical new ideas go listen to some Salvatore Sciarrino or Horatiu Radulescu (just to namedrop) stuff from when there was no Ae in project. Ae was always about pop (hip hop, electro, techno etc) sensibility.

  6.  

    Autechre was a challenge even for experienced listener, even for the fans of previous album. It changed only with Quaristice. The thing isn't about complexity, though, but certain ideas of what is music. On Exai we are still on familiar ground, but worked out different than before.

     

    I can agree with that for sure.

     

    I just meant that a certain degree of the challenge does seem to diminish as you get used to the artist or the genre and it's conventions.

     

    There is also an inverted situation on the artist's part - you can't go on pushing limits forever. What Autechre have done is already grandiose. Now it's time for something completely different in terms of evolution.

  7. 6852 and ts1a would fit snugly inside this album, especially 6852. do i remember reading that it was a solo rob track or was that bullshit?

     

    Regarding solo track by Rob it was pure speculation. There is a certain vision of what's Sean could do best and what Rob. Like first Exai track very well could be Sean solo and second track could be Rob's solo.

     

    T ess xi actually contains slightly modified beats from Ts1a, though.

     

     

    Don't get the hate towards second part of recks on at all. Definitely one of the highlights.

    CHATMM EXAI LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT FOR GROUP ORGASMS 22:00 GMT

     

    plz make it so

     

    This. I've just finished downloading (1.8 GB!) but I have to collect my stuff from the laundrette in 40 minutes. Although I know that I will listen to it soon. And then want to listen to it again.

     

    Either way, I'll be there.

     

    50 kb/s (my current speed) = 10 hours. This is intelligent rape.

  9. Some of it is tongue in cheek, I get it, but this cover analysis thing is getting dangerously close to twoism-level overthinking. W/ BoC the mystery is intentional, so I get the digging to some degree, but with ae I hardly see them engaging in that kind of stuff.

     

    Lesson for Warp:

     

    1) Hey! Your new leak prevention thingy whatever it is works like a charm!

    2) But it leads to fans engaging in paul is dead style self defenestration.

     

    You're clearly underestimating numerological detail of Ae releases. Release dates, catalogue numbers, album titles etc, there's always some over-the-head bullshit going on. Ae fooling around or doing their Kaballah routine.

  10. Have any of you got any idea how sad you are ?

     

    It's a few days to go. I dread to think what you are like at Christmas.....

     

    Do something else.....Go outside. Drink some beer. Meet a freind. Ride a bike. Listen to the birds in a tree. Find some new music. Go see your friend do a poetry recital. Go for a ride on a bus. Cook something you have never eaten. Tell someone you love them....whatever.

     

    If "they" do come here, and read this thread, do you think they will think you're cool? Really?

     

    Thank you for your kind instructions, human. We're not programmed this way naturally, but we would give it a try somewhere on our schedule. *boop* *beep*
