Let us predict when this leaks. My bet: 18th of january
This would pretty much be the best 30th birthday present I could ask for, so I'm hoping for this Thursday. Come on January 10th!

I heard keyosc is just Sean and Rob reciting selected posts from the Oversteps thread run through a ring modulator. With some pitched down samples of bells, woodblocks, and dogs barking, just like really sloppy but in a fun kind of way. Absolutely mental.

keyosc will go down as our proudest moment on WATMM. Quite good. Lush even.

Hmmm, I do not like this at all. But then again I absolutely hate Fermium to this day and like most of the rest of Untilted, so I'm hoping it's just one of the shittier cuts from the album. I think I'm like the only here that was interested in the direction they were moving in with Oversteps. This sounds like a return to Gantz Graf/Quaristice type material, which is not my favorite. Or maybe I'll love it when I hear it in context and full quality, who knows...

We first need Alcofribas' preview !
Been waiting for this ever since I heard the good news.

I'm assuming you have the one from MASK 400? That's the only one I can think of that you might be missing off the top of my head.

The rest of the album unfortunately doesn't quite measure up to the awesomeness of Oblivion and Genesis, but this is still a damn fine album. Her best effort yet and really great for someone so young. I saw her perform over the summer and she does seem like a genuinely sweet girl.

Not only my favorite Autechre EP, but most likely my favorite EP of all time, and Laughing Quarter is a contender for my favorite song of all time. Most enjoyable 40 minutes of music I can think of consistently coming back to. It's my birthday so I think I'll blaze and listen to this later tonight for a great nightcap to a great day!

Seriously, the radio rip sounds way better than the vinyl rip

That's the one!

Bringing this mammoth thread back because this album just completely clicked with me. I liked several of the individual tracks a lot before but some parts of the album felt like a chore to get through. Just gave another listen to the full album for the first time in a few months and I don't know how I wasn't totally in love with this right off the bat. Anyways, I came to my senses!
I'm guessing you've been drawn back to the album after watching a certain video over again ...
Yes, absolutely!

if you can't decide, don't do it
Agreed, I have wisely chickened out of several. Wait at least a year after designing to make sure you're committed.

don't you... not actually like draft very much at all?
Haha, yeah least favorite AE album (although I've come around to it more lately) but I just fell in love with the design. After two years of deliberating I finally got it on my back, don't regret it.

Draft 7.30 on my back. Real fan, lol.
sorry man but i'd struggle to put the 2 images together if you hadn't said.
^looks 3D on account of variation in tone.
(not meaning to be a cunt)
No worries, I realized it was pretty much impossible to replicate the original in one color so I did my own take on it. It ended up different from the original for sure but I still like it

Trouble with Draft is that it contains too much tracks in which some nasty background beats are trying to avert your focus from the interesting stuff in the foreground. It's like 2 tracks are playing at the same time - good one and a really shitty one, and the shitty one is completely fucking up the good one. They have some fancy production name for it - generative programming or something. It basically adds nothing to the whole listening experience and subtracts an awful lot.
I think you nailed it, and it really only happens on this album which is weird. Untilted and Quaristice turned me off in a few spots but for the most part they're solid albums, and other than that I love pretty much all of the rest of their catalog. Draft would be a decent album, but Surripere and the last three tracks totally have this effect on me, where they start off interesting and then the timbre or structure starts to sound like nails on a chalkboard to me. I don't think it's the complexity as I love Confield and most of their more "challenging" work, just something about these tracks make them a chore for me. If it was a shorter EP or something I think I would like it a lot better.
Untilted is kind of the exact opposites, where a lot of tracks start of pretty abstract and then coalesce into their structure, which I like a lot better. Tracks like Ipacial and Augmatic Disport start off pretty fractured and then end up pretty cool. I still can't get past the beginning of Ipacial though, those high pitched buzzing noises like the ones at the end of Reniform just give me a headache. Maybe I'm getting old, lol.
6852 I love though, a nice mix of the abstract and their more traditional sound structure, and that boom bap to boot.

I'm not really sure where the Draft comparisons come from. This clicked instantly where I still consider Draft their most baffling album. Maybe it has something to do with the timbre or sound palette, something about Draft turns me off almost instantly. especially on tracks like V-proc and Reniform Puls which I consider to be among the very few intolerable songs in their repertoire. I know I'm gonna bring some heat for this one but after like 100 listens I still don't really get the appeal. That said, I love 6852 and almost everything else they have done with a passion.

Wow, was totally expecting this to be random noodling. This is awesome, what a great surprise!

This is entirely possible, difficult and time consuming definitely, but people saying it's impossible are being silly.
How do you think Matmos have made an entire career making albums entirely out of field recording sounds? When I was in college I made an album using only sounds I recorded from phones, fax machines, supplies, etc in my office. If I could do it with a pirated copy of Reason and a lot of hard work six years ago, it's certainly possible now. Think how many 70s and 80s movies have synth scores, it would be very doable to chop this all up, you just need to be obsessive and able to bang through tedious work.
This project is great and I personally don't see any reason why he wouldn't limit himself to just VHS tapes. There's an almost unlimited sample bank there. Big ups VHS Head.
