Gescom - ISS:SA

I think they were originally supposed to do a set of new stuff like the first two though, which never materilized Maybe that was just a rumor floating around

It was announced but never ended up happening

This Gescom set in Manchester is awesome, it's like a whole new Minidisc album Track 15 is beautiful, I still hope ae do a proper ambient album someday

Microthol - Microkosmos

what shows were thinking of contributing? i want to make sure i dont upload the same ones. i have these direct board recordings with almost 90% unreleased tracks - 2005 Glasgow 1999 10/01 palm springs 2000 Berlin 2000 7/01 Tokyo if you have any of these same ones i wont bother uploading them I just uploaded 2005 Glasgow among those, haven't even heard those other sets.

So how do I get stuff to you if I have material to contribute?

ISS:SA sounds like how I wanted Draft to sound, a very good release!

Autechre, Jega, Bola, Rob Hall, Made, Russell Haswell, and some others

Yup, makes you wonder what else they've got in their bag of tricks...

Christ. - Vernor Vinge

Ugly Duckling is dope, check out People Under The Stairs if you like them

People Under The Stairs - Stepfather

Machine Drum - Mergerz & Acquisitionz Some great moments but very spotty

Pauline was my personal mentor and friend in college. She really is a very smart lady and it was cool working with someone who personally knew John Cage and many other early electronic greats. But yes, I agree with you about her music. Hour long accordian drones are not my thing I guess...

Mos Def - Black On Both Sides

Interesting imagery, I agree this is ae's most visual album I always wanted to see someone make a feature length animation with this as the score, it could be most excellent in the right hands

Give LP5 a shot

Check out some later stuff too, a little harder to get into but more rewarding eventually Am I weird for thinking Incunabula is their worst album (aside from Draft maybe)?

Envane Cichlisuite

I think it's interesting how every ae fan likes vastly different stuff. For me, the most interesting period was Envane through EP7, every one of those releases is gold for me. I think Incunabula and Tri Rep are among their least interesting material, despite all the praise that they get (although I do love Amber). Confield grew on me but I'm still lost when it comes to Draft.

Envane is ridiculously good, I remember the first time I "got" it and it still blows me away.

I love Arch Carrier, pretty much all of LP5 is fantastic

You don't even like Cipater? That's one of my fav Autechre songs ever.
