[Favorite all time BoC track (currently)]

Telephasic Workshop, or Music is Math 

high runner-ups are Alpha and Omega, and Whitewater 

[EP7 Appreciation]

The more time goes by, the mote sure I am that EP7 is my favorite Ae

depending on the day, I oscillate between EP7 and Confield... and lately there are just more days where I think it’s EP7

[AE_LIVE]

I was at the Philadelphia show and I don’t remember it sounding the way the official release ended up sounding 

i don’t know if it was the sound system, or where I was standing, or maybe just my ears. But I couldn’t follow it.

but hearing it now it’s all clear.

i think I just cant do live music anymore. Give me headphones and I’m gold.

I second that.  This is arguably the best music they ever made IMO.  I honestly don't like much that they did after the 90's and their earliest material is the best....first few releases.  For me, over complexity has no place in music and only serves as a sort of novelty and takes away from/dilutes any real substance that might be present or potentially created.  I find that younger more inexperienced listeners are highly impressed by said novelty as is the case with many of the members of this and the Aphex Twin message boards.

sincerely someone who is neither young, nor inexperienced at listening

seeing an unspecified 2 hour chunk on a Free internet radio stream doesn't automatically mean it's going to be a !!2 hour long!! stream of unannounced unreleased new music. not everyone is as cool as Autechre i'm afraid. 

autechre are truly the best band ever.

Yea I mean, did I think it was going to be 2 hours straight of new BOC, of course not. 

But some fresh material. 

I guess you hit it though... after so much of Autechre delivering more than anyone could ever imagine over the years, everyone else is basically just a tease/troll 

[Societas x Tape]

Well having heard it all, I’m equally disappointed at the bait-and-switch, and happy with the fun journey of their influences and likes 

but mostly I’m let down. It was great but given the hype of possible new BOC, it can never measure up.

This makes me think it will just be a mix of other people’s stuff, and nothing by them

if so, I’ll be pretty disappointed 

but I can always hold out that maybe, mixed in with their influences, they toss in an unreleased track or two 

[All End on NTS 4 vinyl]

Well as long as we can all objectively agree that the splitting of a 1 hr song across 3 sides is essentially the picacle of absurdity

And iSamantha and Ronda only did it to prove maximum troll level of their fans

 

 

As long as we all objectively agree that their is no question that this is proven fact

[All End on NTS 4 vinyl]

Isn’t it thought?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn’t it?

 

 

 

Be honest

[All End on NTS 4 vinyl]

As I said in the main thread, I wish All End had been split across the A side of 3 different records so that with a DJ setup of 2 turntables you could seamlessly play the entire track.

 

Not possible in the current configuration unless you have 2 copies of the record!

Just play the first part, then the second part, then replay the first part as you flip the last record over and mix in the 3rd part as the 1st part ends again

Then repeat

1,2,1,3,1,2,1,3,1,2,1,3.....etc

 

Since the whole song is just Sandra and Rhonnette holding one note for an hour, no one will know the difference

[Autechre. NTS Residency. (_O_)]

NTS 3 is without question. the. best.

[Can we talk about Amber?]

Newp. In fact that's my least favorite track on there. It sounds like a reject from Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (which I also don't care for)

 

I must say I’m also not sure why selected ambient works 85-92 gets put on such a pedestal (volume II is different and I love it)

So I’m glad I can come out of the shadows and admit that. I listen to it, and it’s Ok but really nothing special. And I don’t buy that historical perspective thing, as there are plenty albums from that time that grab me more, and feel more ahead of their time. SAW 85-92 is just beige wallpaper

[New Tool record end of year?]

Sounds to me like Maynard with a touch of Will Oldham.

Oh shit! That’s exactly it!!

 

I liked it. I wished they had omitted the guitar and found a way to make it only horns and drums. With the guitar I think it just ties too close to a straight cover and they lean on it too much

But still very impressive

[New Tool record end of year?]

Man that photo says so much about the band’s dynamic

[AE_STORE Is Live!]

Grabbed a random selection of 5 from various points along the journey, choosing the Philidelphia one b/c I was there.

 

Definitely picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

 

Thanks Samantha & Ronnette 

[AE_STORE Is Live!]

Yea I could see all the dates listed, but all said “sold out”

But now when I try again t doesn’t have the individual dates anymore

[2001 Live Set(s)]

I love the 2001 stuff

I think I have a few other decent audience recordings other than the ones you listed (plus the soundboard)

 

I’ll have to dig through and see if any are really good. Probably no better than what you already listed

 

I think parts of the 2001 set were very tangentially related to some portion of either Dial or CapIV

I forget which one, but when I use to listen to the 2001 live stuff daily i remember putting on that ep and one of those two songs gave me the “oooh that’s where that came from” feel

[New Tool record end of year?]

Who cares what some nobodies on twitter are talking about though? Or their fans for that matter.

The shade

The shade of it all

[AE LIVE ‘08 - post replica submissions here]

I feel so ashamed for waiting to grab the newer 75% version

I will pick this week to quit sniffin glue if you can get that re-up’d somewhere

 

IOS pls

[Autechre. NTS Residency. (_O_)]

I don’t have time for drugs

But I do have time for fLh

[New Tool record end of year?]

At this point i’d Almost rather they just cut their losses and scrap the whole damn thing

But, we’ll see how I feel about it in 5 years when it gets released

[Autechre. NTS Residency. (_O_)]

 

Can anyone suggest some highlights from the 4 sessions? Or do you recommend just listening to it all start to finish in chunks?

gonk steady one

six of eight

9 chr0

nineFly

all end

What self respecting human would leave tt1pd off a list of highlights from NTS?!?!?

[Autechre. NTS Residency. (_O_)]

 

 

A bit disappointed that All End wasn't split across 3 discs, as there is no way to continuously listen to the whole track, you have to stop and turn a record over. They missed a trick there.

 

This evening I have discovered much beauty in North Spiral, especially the last couple of minutes.

It’s impossible to fit it on one side and keep acceptable sound quality, though.

 

No trick was missed, it’s physics.

i think he meant that they could have, theoretically, shuffled the faces of vinyl so that D E F were on different discs, thus allowing someone with two decks to fade seamlessly between them. The way its currently organized makes that impossible without two copies

If they played All End as

Pt1

Pt2

Pt1

Pt3

 

They could have a semi-extended run of the song and no one would know the difference because all three sides are just identical because it’s one fucking note held forever
