  1. Sure, it is always a lousy support to describe an Ae album. But is the best one can use to get an idea of the sound. Because there are no other comparisons possible. Otherwise, it would be like: The new Ae album sounds like dfdfsaddflcv dfdsfchcv skghjpuroer krkkkkkkxxxkxxkkkrrrrrrrrr boom. And I didn't really want to compare the new album in the way that it actually sounds like the others. I think - like all Ae albums so far - Exai has something from all the past releases Ae have done, melted and reformed to a new form. Ae has always been about progress and process. You can still hear the source and reminders but nonetheless, Exai is new and a f***ing great whirlwind in my ears.
  2. Sorry gl0tch, but I can't send you the promo cd. It's f**** watermarked and Warp would strip me off my IDM honours if I leak it.
  3. see? my reinforcement learning method works. Yeah, it even gave me the power to materialise a promo package into my mail box. Thank you phling.
  4. I quite agree with the review. Pretty good album. I was surprised that Ae decided to make a 2CD. Generally they like to keep it simple. The music is not the revolution one might have expected. It is really the accumulation of Ae styles we have seen passing over the years. You have the synth sounds of "Oversteps" which are now thrown into the beat driven aesthetic and machine funk of Tri Repetae, LP5 or Chiastic Slide. In between you get the chaos of Confield, the atomic splintering of Untilted and the buttnaked electro of Draft 7.30. CD2 is sort of a Hip Hop record, something Ae have always been involved in - of course in a Ae manner (no Kanye West here).
  5. I tried to reconsider. Really!
