I actually did mix TBM2 with hip hop on a mix I did about a month ago. A bit cheeky because it's mixed with De La Soul and we all know what Ae thinks of them. :) TBM2 comes in at the 4min mark. After De La Soul it's mixed with an "old" F.X. Randomiz track.

You got that mix bro? Seems like Rob Hall's website is down. Bunch of others on on mixcloud - you can just search for "rob hall." Not downloadable, though, obviously.

20.5 years ago, living in London for the summer, a friend mentioned them to me, I picked up a copy of the AeP, broke the seal, put the needle on Lost, and that was it for me.

Haha I remember a friend pointing out that farty bass part a year ago when I first got ahold of this set. It is so farty and nonsensical. I also agree that Krakow has a nice agressiveness from the get-go. In addition, Krakow may have my favorite ending of the four, but I'm not sure. Still wrapping my head around the four sets in general. Ae's music has always sounded different to me on repeated listens - now it's an extra puzzle to sort out just how different these sets really are from each other given the sheer amount of music to contend with. Pretty fascinating project.

This is more and more true the more recent the live tour. If you go back to say 1998 or so they were playing material that I believe was either just released or just about to be released. And when I saw them in 1996 they played an extended version of Second Bad Vilbel and an extended version of Eutow (as well as probably other stuff from Tri Repetae that I didn't recognize). Even in 2005 they were playing a lot of stuff from Untilted after it was released. But more recently what you are saying has been holding up more and more as true; e.g. what everyone calls the "Oversteps tour" doesn't contain the same sounds as the album, but a lot of the same processes. And while the 2005 and 2008 tours contain recognizable Quaristice material (30 minutes of IO anyone? haha), there is much less Quaristice in the 2008 tour material as well. Anyway so generally over time there has been more of a separation of live and studio material. Of course with the AE_LIVE releases being studio quality, the line is now in some sense blurred. But in another sense I think this is just a "reset" on this material - like it was good enough to release directly and now they can focus on all-new studio material. At least that is my hope. By the way, slightly OT, but based on all the other soundboards and live bootlegs I've heard, as well as their AAA comments on live material, my guess is that this store will not be a venue for older live recordings - I think this is probably the first time they've felt comfortable enough with the soundboards they have collected to release them with some small amount of retouching/remastering. I'm guessing the store will be for a combination of merch, future soundboards of future tours, and exclusive / nonexclusive studio releases. Read Sean's comments in question 1 of AAA - this release is consistent with a desire to release high quality soundboards that are planned out in advance, which they pretty clearly did, not so much with a desire to revisit past, perhaps patchier (at least to their ears) recordings. But I know this is well-covered territory. [edit: question 2 not question 1 - and I like his reference to "milking it for all its worth"]

This is awesome. I am learning JS atm so this is a perfect mini tutorial. I will listen to Krakow and pick apart your code. Thanks! :)

And this is the exciting action photo of the live setup. My setup is only the stuff on the square table at the bottom.

Just posted my music in YLC and was out last night showing a bunch of new people this photo, so figured I'd post it here as well. This is my current live setup. Add a MBP for Nord editing, 2-track recording and editing in Audacity, some DAW work in Logic on occasion, and VirtualDJ for a bit of fun, and you have my entire studio atm.

Never did this, so here we go: Chiastic Slide Untilted Quaristice++ (heehee) Exai Draft 7.30 LP5 Tri Repetae Oversteps Confield Amber Incunabula ...but I love them all! This was hard to do.

The Wire article is from 1997 and came out right after Chiastic Slide was released. I know because I eagerly bought the issue when it came out and read it many many times. There is some discussion of the meaning of the title of Chiastic Slide (referencing a crossfader as well as crossing over from the left to the right side of the brain iirc), as well as a description of their collaboration with zoviet france. There's also a bunch of classic mysterious Ae-trying-to-explain-themselves-to-journalists stuff that was a bit confusing, also iirc. Anyway I wish I could scan it and post it but it's in my parents' house 1 time zone away at the moment; sorry everyone! Hope someone can find it online as it is a great read and a great historical document, almost 20 years old now.

Yeah that place will always be reserved in my heart for Chiastic Slide, but Quaristice comes close, if only because of the option of experiencing 4+ hours of gradually lengthening and unfolding versions by listening to the allbum, the Japanese tracks, the Versions, and then the "EP" all in succssion. One of my favorite things to do when I have the time to listen to it all uninterrupted. It's like peeling an onion more and more slowly, until you reach "subrange 6-36" which is just sublime. A great experience. edit: an onion is visually the right metaphor, but 6-36 is probably more like a really good mango, i think.

Yeah haha. I didn't know him for very long - just a couple of years really. But yeah we worked together in the dining hall and whatnot. We even took a jazz survey course together which was a joke for him, but opened my eyes quite a bit and is why I know anything about jazz really. Cool that he has a fanbase on here.

this is great stuff WTF I was roommates with this guy in college. Small world. He was an incredible guitarist then too, not surprisingly.
