  1. this is a pretty bad movie and I'd love someone to convince me I'm wrong.  there are interesting ingredients:  sound design, some of the lighting and scene stuff, maybe two acting moments.  it's pretty.  it does not make a good movie.

     

    it feels sterile, and the soundtrack is boring and apes vangelis hard, but in a boring way.  this is like star wars ep7 all over again where a massive crew of people attempt tirelessly to capture old magic, and instead make lifeless ingredients which amount to an uncomfortable echo.

     

    shame on me I guess for re-watching the original last week and re-reading the book too.  at least that was enjoyable

  2. But Hillary respects Lady Liberty, hmm? With the TPP, the opening of the borders, the rape of Europe, the political correctness, the fast track to a corporate new world order. AGENDA 21 IS ALL FINE AND GOOD! PERSONAL LIBERTY IS BAD! FINANCIAL LIBERTY IS BAD! THE DESTRUCTION OF SOCIETY IS GOOD! WORLD GOVERNMENT'S GOOD! Give me a break.

    The trump vs Clinton dichotomy, flimsy as it was 24hr ago is now completely moot

  3. I can't really wrap my mind around how anyone who is pro human could have elected this hateful television personality with no experience to be president.

    It seems like a conclusion of deep pathological thinking in people to elect such a person. But then what if it wasn't a fair election? My optimism makes it easier to swallow fraud than the alternative, because both possibilities are absurd to me. The last thing I expected was trump to win popular vote.

     

    There are sick belief systems at play here which is the most troubling thing to me.

  4. I couldn't get into AE_LIVE too deeply, it's dense and meandering at times and of course makes perfect sense live, just hasn't had the same effect in my headphones.

     

    elseq is utterly fascinating, and two months later feels bottomless. I love taking my time with this one. I'm enjoying this more than exai.

  5. Every time I revisit elseq I'm floored by it. Something unfolds in a new way on each listen. 13x0 step is a recent favorite.

     

    A logical conclusion along Autechre's trajectory will be installing the next album and letting it unfurl organically forever.

     

    I personally love the long format, 20+ minute let everything hang out and shift around tracks. It complements the mind perfectly. I hesitate to call elseq my favorite release, but I am in love with their output from Exai forward.

  6. you fucks are complaining about this? wtf this is retarded shit. perfect perfect.

     

    golden age is back for round 2. aphex and ae are making and or releasing some of the best shit they've ever made based on learning what they've already made. enjoy it.

     

    edit: boc drop sumpin deece

     

    Yeah, I was thinking today that this decade has seen some of the finest output from all these guys, and we're only halfway through. I wonder too if we'll ever again see something like the elseq + digging remedy + cheetah release sprint.

     

    If you had told me in 2005 that Aphex Twin, Plaid, and Autechre would continue to put out solid releases in 2016, I would 100% not fucking believe it. What a time to be alive.

     

    ugh I want to listen again but I also want lossless.

  7. I hadn't gotten around to hearing any of the preview tracks yet, but last night I smoked a bowl (which I don't do often) just to sit down and give this stream a full listen with monitor headphones. Wow. First track knocked me on my ass. After I finished I wanted to play it again, but decided to save it for release and full stereo? There are some sensual grooves on here, I can almost call this sexy, and the background melodies.. solid, solid release. Looking forward to an even more proper listen next week.

  8. haha I fucking love this quote from rich earlier today:

     

    "cheers people, just wanted to put out some chilled solid jams that I really like, helps diffuse the hype around me a bit, plenty of time for dropping some future bangers, don’t want the paparazzi camping outside my fucking house right now."

     

     

    and

     

    well releasing this type of stuff fucks off most of the 4 second attention span internet click posse.

     

    where'd he say this?

  9. Those Lake Eola swans are pretty much complete dick-holes, and I'm certain s/he had it coming. Scary fuckers show their teeth to everyone who passes. I hope the continued efforts of Orlando's meth-fueled park inhabitants will keep those horrible birds at bay.

     

    Kinda miss home.

  10. Orlando can't catch a break. I'll be at WDW in 2 weeks w/ my 9 year old nephew.

    Horrific and tragic, but having grown up in Florida, all the locals know not to go near water, especially at night, and especially with small dogs or children. It's not hyperbolic to explain that every body of water in Florida has gators in it. The things are not aggressive but feed at dusk and eat small prey.

     

    It makes sense in touristy areas to have alligator warning signs posted near water, of which I've seen plenty myself.

  11. pendulu hv moda. if I'm not careful, I'll declare this my favorite ae track of the last ten years

     

    My response to Elseq1-5's long-format, let everything breathe and tumble around is 100% yes, please. I've been walking around the city every day letting Elseq bang against architecture and coloring new streets I've never been down before, and riding the bus during peak hours with people of all shapes shuffling around in-and-out-of shifting rhythms. This is all I want right now as I explore Seattle in my first few weeks moving to a new city. my shorts are wet.

  12. elseq plays like a stretched out beats tape, and I'm loving every minute I've heard. Stellar release and the consistent percussion makes it easy to get into. future hiphop etc.

  13. I like autechre tracks that are longer and more jammy than the cut down 3-5 minute tracks. I prefer the quaristice companion releases to the actual album.

     

    Agreed, everything they've done since Exai has been bliss for me.

     

    4+ hours of meditative hiphop ramblings, I'm going to have a boner for weeks

    i cant find the exact post, but whatever post it was wins 'most autism spectrum' award in most of the AE threads i've seen so far. It was something about how trying to dance to music people only do because they think they're supposed to And how dancing is outdated or something like that. If it was an Alco-style post, good job dude.

     

    when i move my head or the rest of my body to Autechre i'm doing it most of the time because it's expected of me and it has absolutely nothing to do with a natural 'im feeling it' moment, in fact no one experiences that it's a myth/urban legend. We're dancing because we're told to, not because we want to

     

    humans have a natural soothing response to any steady, rhythmic pulse, due to the association from the mothers' heartbeat while in the womb. one can express the soothing effect by rocking or moving to it.

     

    obviously teenagers don't want to look like babies, so we had to add the peer pressure thing where dancing to music is cool and enjoying the rhythm makes you trendy.

     

    if we wern't told to dance, would we still do it? we'd probably still find it soothing to hear heartbeat/pulse sounds. maybe we'd all be masturbating excessively to them instead, who knows.

     

    sometimes 'dancing', or shifting your weight around, shuffling a bit eases the tedium of standing still in one spot, for an hour or more. also, it's not impossible to have synesthetic sorts of reactions to really visceral, percussive sounds.. something that might cause you to wince, or recoil. or you can sort of 'roll with the punches', as James "Lights Out" Toney.

     

     

    dancing is fun.
