"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

Dammit, Billy!

I feel unwell.

I get the "make me a sandwich" joke. I get that it was probably not coming from a sexist place. Bit tone deaf, though, and since someone called you out on it, you've become absolutely, self-celebratingly obnoxious. You could have just shut up or changed the subject, but you've decided to hijack the thread (not that it was really doing anything reasonable for the moment, poor thing) to defend yourself while, actually, not really defending yourself but making sure that everyone dreads seeing that you've once again posted something else.

I love AE Live and NTS, but I've never really gotten into elseq. The first four tracks are quite good, and then there's a smattering of other pieces that resonate for me, but it's probably my least favorite work of theirs in the last ten years. I also don't think NTS and AE Live come off that similarly. NTS takes its time, feels very comfortable lingering and exploring. AE Live is a marathon, manic. It's like a special forces unit that comes in, clobbers everything, and then gets out.

Brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department? Guess that's consistent with the last couple of pages in this thread.

Some prefer the term "little-person arousal propaganda."

I totally disagree. Oversteps has a very angular, almost crystalline sound. I can maybe see The first two tracks in the artwork, but the rest of the record feels like it should be visually depicted by kaleidoscopic (and perhaps indeed microscopic) studies of ice. I remember Sean's joking in AAA about Oversteps being possibly a warmer-weather album (and then taking it back), and I think it sounds totally windswept and wintry apart from Treale and, maybe, pt2ph8 (which, to be fair, stills sounds wintry but in a serene vista sort of way).

I'm probably at an all-time high of Incunabula-appreciation, honestly. It's still my least favorite Ae record, but I've come to enjoy that if you listen to it quite loud, it sounds pretty good – not, as others have mentioned, ahead of its time but solid. Listening to it at comfortable ambient volume, it sounds kind of soft; I don't think they mixed the drums loud enough, etc. I may have done it a terrible disservice circa 2000/2001 by listening to it too much in my car because it was one of the last Autechre albums I picked up (at the time), and not much of it really stuck out / stood out to me, so I was trying to learn to like it. I think I pushed it in the other direction, though. I've come around lately... I've also come to view the discography as being a more linear, chronologically, and I think Incunabula works better for me as well as a very early part of that continuum instead of just feeling like that one Autechre album that I don't really love.

It's clearly a sign.

I just ordered wine glasses from this company. Coincidence?

Please don't be a dick and say that science is only for people with doctorates. You knew exactly where I was coming from (as evidenced by your final sentence), and I doubt that anyone was misled by my suggesting that he was a scientist.

I would like a couple of the tracks to overlap with OneSix, maybe vaguely? There's something about the OneSix material that feels like it might still be evolving (as evidenced by the 2018 sets). It seems alive and some of it feels, in a really vague way admittedly, like it's suggesting something. There's something expectant about it. That plus the similarity in shape in artwork makes me think (or at least wonder) if there will be a whisper of overlap. If so, I hope it is subtle, but I'd dig it.

He is.

I suspect there'll be a Red E to complement the A. Don't know when, though.

Just curious, where did the mastering info come from?

" laughed by the duo," even...

Yeah, for sure. Set by set, but I suspect it's because they're chomping at the bit to unleash what they've done for OneSix and/or other new Ae releases...

TDR is sharing AE LIVE artwork nonstop today on Instagram. Likely because they're readying OneSix etc. accompaniments atm, I suspect.

GONK!

Don't do that. pls.

I can see that. The snippets also do sound a bit like Minidisc (or something that could have appeared there), but that was quite the outlier for Gescom, musically. Quite the outlier in general, really.

Why? How?
