I'm definitely guilty of that, just in general. I'm sinking my teeth deep into this new record though. Apart from a couple of new releases from Detroit Underground, I'm giving it pretty much exclusive attention. Still having trouble with si00, but everything else is clicking nicely now. psin AM and Metaz are the favorites atm.

Sign has grown on me in leaps and bounds, not that anyone cares, but yeah...

For sure. I already like it significantly more than I did during the stream (in some cases, I think legitimately due to the sound quality - stream didn't sound off, but you didn't get the full dimensionality of a lot of the sounds/synths, especially on 4lema). Some Autechre (Confeld, Exai, NTS) has clicked with me real time as I've listened, and some (Oversteps, Untilted), I've grown to appreciate a lot more with time and scrutiny after some initial difficulty. I feel like this one is probably falling closer to that second camp for me.

3 is the only one I'm not into, really.

Do people not realize that this is available for download right now if you've purchased it? Why are you talking about it as if you can't listen to it? https://autechre.warp.net/account

It's not being aired again. It's already available for purchase and download...

? Still works here. All formats. Did you buy it?

You can download it lossless now, you know. It appeared on the shop right after broadcast ended...

I wonder if something from the conversation with SB & RB led to that statement. Odd if not, because this comes off as being the least "hip hop" Autechre record in 20 years.

I absolutely don't see those as being a trilogy. Confield was kind of ending, Untilted was a kind of beginning, and Draft was something of a one off; there were definitely Confield-ish moments, but I don't hear anything Untilted-ish.

Going to listen for this - hadn't noticed yet.

Frankly sounds nothing like today's interview/review (njs?) or the Bookmat review would have led me to expect. It's not that much a departure from the last ten years, broadly speaking. I don't mean that in a negative way, it just seems more an evolution than a callback to previous times or an radically more musical (if you read between the lines of what both write ups suggested) endeavor.

This was finished in February.

Track 4 is def my fave so far. 5 is sounding good as well... First three were a bit of a challenge for me.

Definitely. Bubbles and Caribbean percussion.

Don't go into the chat. Worst since YouTube comments...

In 1999, I had been oddly (it's not really odd, actually, but still) fixated on "Geography" by Front 242 (still one of my absolute favorite records) for a while, and I felt like nothing else had as appealing, immersive textures or a similar atmosphere. Then I heard ep7, and it was like a floodgate opened. I'd been familiar with Incunabula, and respected it, but I'd somehow managed to remain unexposed to subsequent Autechre records. That changed rapidly, of course.

Nothing?

They're...not? It's streaming worldwide, and there are different timezones around the world. They've given examples of a few in their general global vicinity.

You scared me for a second that I'd somehow missed the beginning, but then I remembered that everything you post is nonsense and the equivalent of noise pollution.

Not to grandstand, but I made this happen by finally listening to Spotify's "This is Autechre" playlist despite its being ultra-heavy on early material. #bookmatreviewaccuracyconfirmed #sorryforthestupidfuckingpost

"Traces of spl47" also has traces of plyPhon and 90101-51-1, no?

I still think L-Event was a spooky autumnal/Halloween record on the DL.

Exai, ep7 (yes, including), LP5, NTS, Confield, Tri Rep, Draft, Oversteps (although most improved with time and patience), Chiastic, untilted, elseq, Amber, Quaristice (although the livesets are absolute top notch stuff), Incunabula
