EDIT: shit beaten to the punch on the Tac Lacora silence thread moves too fast for me /getoffmylawn

Holy fuck I can't even take it Just too much! I have barely gotten through all the live sets

10,000 Days Alex Grey! Pseudo-spiritual nu-age druggo ascension philosophizing! And yet dispite all that it seems absurd to consider those albums remotely equal! A lesser album! Not the same level of craftsmanship! Exclamation point!

So far I've only listened to krems and grachaflacgahachawachasomething It seems like there are some newer sounding parts near the end of each They get through all the recognizable bits a little faster and then a few new elements show up

Finally got around to buying the new batch of 5 Listening to Krems now, and yes around that 46min mark things started feeling very new and groovtasticly groovy

Now this just isn't even fair... How am I ever suppose to take all this in? My brain can only handle so much

Took me until 2011 to finally enjoy draft Most others I warm up to fast Exai was instant

First got into Plaid and Squarepusher when a friend of mine and I bumped into Trent reznor outside his studio in New Orleans (this was during a big NIN phase in my life in '99) He gave us copies of rest proof clockwork and the maximum priest ep The two bass hit remix was the first time I heard anything by Ae A year later I was fairly into electronic music and a different friend kept telling me about autechre and LP5 but I never actually heard it Their name kept popping up as I read more radiohead based stuff shortly after Kid A came out Finally around 2003 my friend who first recommended LP5 dumped everything of theirs onto my iPod (he also put BOC on their so that is how that started too) I played their whole discogrophy through while on particularly long car trip Total fan boy by the time untilted came out 2 years later Real question is why did it take so long to end up on watmm

Just finished off Dublin, so now I've heard 2 out of 4. There was certainly enough different to definitely make these unique experiences I think I still prefer Krakow. There are some moments of serious split stereo fuckery that seem unmatched (if not completely absent) in the Dublin set Still A+ aural insanity all around

Only had the chance to get through Krakow so far... but seriously this is the best Autechre that autechre has ever autechred before I feel like I listened to that Amni remaster of Krakow many times, and yet there is so much here I just can't even believe was going on

After attempt #4 download finally unzipped Just a few minutes in

There can be no denying it is a reference to the old poker saying "card cause quay jaw"

Almost definitely?That's a pretty definitive statement for what amounts to just an interpretation/assumption Who says it's not a reference to the Jacquard loom? Or some other thing that has nothing to do with any of this?

interesting. It sounds like old machinery in dry bushland, taken over by alien organisms/insects to me!Insects for sure! I guess mine are just the insects that thrive at sub freezing temps :) But you know it only makes sense your finding the polar opposites of season, Australia's summer is my winter, plus I hear they call red "blue" there And hamburgers eat people

I know I'm not bringing anything new to the table by saying this but Confield is definitely a razor sharp ice filled tundra. In the best of ways

I'm convinced all of you either have very lame friends or are making up some false reality in which girls don't like good electronic music Almost every female I knew I'm my 20's listened to apex and boc, and while not everyone I know these days had the same taste it can't be I met all the worlds population of female warp fans

Re: girls and Autechre I've know 4 girls I'm my life who are avidly into Ae, and one of the two people who introduced me to Autechre was female. Essentially hanging out on 2-CT7 while two of my friends who didn't know each other were talking about music. Girl flips through guy's CD collection commenting "I see you like autechre"... Que 15 minute conversation. Some part of my mind held on to this and within a few months I had gone out and acquired all things Ae

Damn that's some good stuff

Yes it's quite lame So far the only times I've been able to listen to Versions tracks is by finding individual songs that have been put on youtube or something similar So lame. For my Meh attitude toward Quaristice proper, I would very much like to have some kind of Versions I can call my own

While mixing and matching various sounds from the album/versions/quadrangle can certainly produce a very good playlist of songs, in my mind this still doesn't change the fact that Quaristice (proper) is a bit if a weak album The benefit of mixing songs from all the different iterations just tells me that with better care, Ae could have crafted something that holds up to the rest of their out-put But they didn't (IMO)

So true I would love to see the release of a Tomorrows Harvest: versions

This is a really weird comparison to me - quaristice is all over the place, one of ae's most stylistically varied albums. But TH is so consistent in its style, maybe their most focused and least varied album so far.A whole bunch of short tracks that probably would have benefited from being fleshed out properly Seems like a fair comparison to me

A bit late addressing this point, but I had a sneaking suspicion I'd read people saying this before they mentioned it in the interviews. Going back, I see Lumpenprol devoted this thread to that very topic http://forum.watmm.com/topic/79153-th-for-those-who-always-wondered-what-an-albums-worth-of-intros-sounds-like/ Which he posted June 3rd Interview where they first mentioned delibreately tapering songs off was June 6th
