    Funnily enough, I feel like L-Event is more in its own little sound world than the rest of Exai.

    I agree. Exai has a more expansive, almost utopian feel (even when it goes a bit dark), and L-Event is probably Ae's "scariest" or most menacing sounding record. The website mangling stunt suited it really well as there's definitely a kind of Twilight Zone-esque nightmare/confusion vibe to it for me.

  2. 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.

    im really gonna have to wear out SIGN and then set it aside for a while before i can even think about ranking it

    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.

    The fidelity of this new autechre is such high quality i'm already swimming in the vinyl and all i can hear is something matters in the audio. I'm only hearing a half of a second and it sounds good so far.

    What time zone will the next play be aired i wanna dream to HEAR  a sign.

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

    It's weird, innit, especially since they defined electro so concisely

    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.

    Okay, maybe not LP5, but Oversteps... let's overlook the trilogy that escaped me of Confield, Draft 7.30 and Untilted.

    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.

    Anyone else hearing what seems to be deliberate “remixing” or mutations of previous tracks (kinda like sinister sintrail)? Track 3=bqbq and eastre, Track 2=known1, etc??

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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

    Why will they stream it to/in multiple time zones?! ?

    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.

    Reaction? It does sound like they wrote it with Native Instruments - "Reaktor" I was just on Elektronauts to find that out. Spanks for the crue. BTW Motley Crue plays nashville in 2021. Get with it 2024 ecrapsis.

    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.

  12. 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
