  1. I just started Dead Space 2 after finishing the first last night. But I found that because of some controversy over the DLC and EA's funny patches all the weapons and armor are available to me at the first store....I don't want to break the game by using stuff I shouldn't have access to.

     

    Does anyone remember what was available at first? Do I just stay in the straight Jacket and keep using my cobbled together blaster?

     

    disregard this...found an unpatched version of the exe online and this took care of the problem. Dead Space 2 is so pretty! I don't know if I like that i have to stomp on all the corpses to get the loot though....kinda loud and pointlessly gruesome

    Dead Space 1 was great. Although I had no desire to use any weapon other than the plasma cutter.

  3. wow just finished dishonored and am hugely disappointed. game fizzled into nothing. I really don't think non-lethal is the way to go after completing it without killing anyone....which I probably should have guessed given the fact I couldn't choose to disarm my sword or sell off other items to stock up on sleeping darts.

     

    The first half of the game was a blast. not so much the second....

  4. what happened to the last thread i left this morning and it was like page 75 or something?!

     

    the more i listen to this the more i like it...and known(1) is one of my favorites lol

     

     

    there are some like tiny triplet lead ins that i hear in some of the songs to some of the patterns that are so legit

  5. Regarding people asking if parts of the Quaristice tour appear in this... I cant say they do explicitly, but they kind of do in spirit... namely the (for lack of better words) jamaican parts of the live set... steel drums and shit. I'm totally hearing that same vibe in the beginning of pt2ph8 and parts of d-sho qub.

     

     

    yeah this is why i think it is real, lots of sounds that sound similar or logical progressions

  6. I think it will be really interesting to see what the live stuff is like or if we get multiple versions a la quaristice (though i doubt that since the improv/make your own playlist theories seems so accurate and i can't see them doing that again) But the generative stuff they used could make some crazy live variations of the album...I'd be really excited to see these sort of loose and open song structures varied and see all the stuff continue to shift.

     

    Has anyone recognized bits in past live recordings? I haven't found any.

     

    After more listens I really love how open this album is, its like ae on sedatives and i understand why so many people who be displeased by that lol.

     

     

     

    awepittance, is your untilted fAEk still available anywhere? I think i remember you saying one track was on your tijuana album but i can't remember which track. I've been listening to your stuff for my crazed rhythms fix so this album wasn't much a of a let down

     

    edit: also, this album seems to get darker and darker for me each time i listen...at first it was like ae rainbows

  7. ..listening to ep7 and reminded of how brilliant it is!

     

    'Pir' , 'Dropp', 'Rpeg' and the hynortic breakdown of Zeiss Contarex. the whole album... wow, it's just shockingly good. how come i don't hear more excitement about this album from folks around here?

    ep7 is in a list of the top five ae albums for me. i think it is a perfect mix of all the elements of Autechre, ambient melody, beats, abstraction etc etc.

     

    this is the autechre i know and love

     

     

    ep7 used generative stuff as well right? i was thinking of it while listening to oversteps as well (though i am loving both lol)

  8.  

    about the leak:

     

    I could imagine they had it in the German radio show and someone did some kind of direct recording out of the closed maybe even digital system at the radio station via a portable recording device and some audio jack cable (iphone maybe or something better which would explain the apple format and clipping)

     

    they don't use CDs at radio stations often do they? its all on hard-drive

     

    This is what i was thinking. Perhaps some little odd time differences can be attributed to the itunes crossfader or some equivalent people were talking about as well.

     

    I really enjoy the album, I feel like we've gotten plenty of this type of sound layered in the work before under nice rhythmic percussion but now its more focused or present. I never clicked with regular music theory of scales and stuff so perhaps odd note progression is less important to me and I am just digging the atmosphere and odd development through the songs...ae got me into more beat heavy and hip hop based music as well so I'm sure that tips the scale as well. I've only listened to it twice so I may be back with a better understanding of what i like...

     

    If its not ae i have a new favorite artist, if it is ae i have a new favorite album.

     

     

    edit: also they better come to the bay area cause the quaristice show was 21 over and now that is not a problem lol
