Yeah epsy, those guys are all awesome! Have you heard 2562, Dusk + Blackdown, Shackelton and Appleblim yet? You probably have, but just in case..

some good dvds there. i still find 'i spit on your grave' slightly disturbing.
Slightly? I'll always find that movie extremely disturbing!
Oh and, cappuccino + soy milk is what I'm consuming.

Mugicha.. aka roasted barley tea. Delicious hot or cold, sweetened or not. Has a sort of coffee/bread flavour that's great at the end of the day.

Cal Cutta tore it apart last night!!!!!
Word, son. Cal got the whole place dancing on more than one occasion. I really hope they invite you back! Also, I need to record a mix & see if they'll have me up one of these days..

Nice one Robbie; I'd totally forgotten about those things! I think I need one too...

Cool, I've been to Groningen! Great city. I'd loooove to see 2562 as well, I really like his album.

Just saw OSC(Antiserum and Roommate, two badass producers in their own right) last night. This show was off the fucking chain. Bass so heavy my feet were getting a massage on a wood floor while I was dancing. Mixing was incredibly tight. Anyone who gets the chance to check either of these cats out, highly highly recommended.
Yeah, have to agree here. These guys could really mix - I heard not even a hint of the beginnings of a trainwreck all night. The selection was excellent too; some truly epic basslines got rinsed. At one point, the bass dropped so hard my cane wouldn't stay down on the wood floor!

warp site doesn't have it? I believe it got reissued fairly recently, so that might be available
good luck.. this is a must-own on wax!!

Yeah, this is definitely my favourite Autechre album.. and has been for a long time. It started in the spring of 97; I had just turned 19 and this album had just arrived at my local "techno" record store, so I bought it as a birthday present for myself. The other present for myself was a 10-strip of some rather potent blotter (it had musical notes and skulls on it, in case anyone's interested). My brother and I ingested said hallucinogens, and left the CD on repeat alllll night. I was completely engrossed in the imagery... basically everything Asymptote said was 100% spot-on; couldn't have written it better. My brother has basically no interest in electronic music (especially since that word didn't exist then) but was still quite into the album. For years I could play him the shortest fraction of a song from Chiastic and he would be instantly transported back to that night. My love for this album has grown even greater over the years (I can't believe it's been almost a decade!). No matter how many hundreds of times I hear it it will never get old for me. The high points for me are Cipater (duh), Cichli and Recury. Some years after I bought the cd in 97 I picked up the vinyl as well, even though I didn't have a record player at the time. What a great investment that was though.. I'm constantly using it in my mixes. I like to mix with Cichli, although the wandering melody makes it a bitch to mix properly. A much easier song to mix with is Cipater. Now I know what you're thinking.. the time shift has gotta play hell with me. Actually, the shift is very mathematical: the BPMs drop by 1/3. So, if you have the song slowed down to 111 (the song is "supposed" to be at 113) then after the shift the BPM becomes 74 (2/3 of 111). This is a good way to switch up the BPM of a mix, which I like to do :)
One more thing I'm surprised that no-one else has mentioned: the vinyl sleeve has artwork on the inside! This is the only record I've ever seen that does this (besides a number of records I have that just have some colour printed on the inside). If you have access to the vinyl of chiastic you should check this out.. I used to bulge open the sleeve and stare into it all the time :) The pattern is pretty much a continuation of the outside theme. Haven't looked at it for some time however, since the 3 sleeves are currently adorning my wall as the main part of an autechre frieze: containing chiastic, envane (both), both ep7 sleeves, the green cichlisuite sleeve, and my signed confield poster <3
Just in case you're wondering.. all those records aren't naked! I bought a ton of blank cardboard sleeves to house my autechre vinyl :)

More cat pics!
This is Louisa. She is obscenely cute, but incredibly needy. She can be dead asleep on the couch across the room, and if you get up and go to another part of the house she will somehow sense it and be forced to follow you in a few minutes.
p.s. she's fallen asleep whilst being held like this <3
