  1. e0 sounds so Coilsh to me. The tone of underlying beat is so smooth and lush... I'm just swamped in emotions and don't mind the lack of progression. This is the moon musick, musick to play in the dark!
  2. A lot of people probably died listening to NTS2. Just too damn intense. They must have hit the gonk. Let them rest in paece.
  3. This is just waaay better than eastre...
  4. Fucking hell: How such a cheerfull eooo eooo sound could change into ligetiesque horror?!?! Masters!
  5. Hi Jader, just to nitpick a bit, I want to push back on the composition vs meditation on a theme thingy. Looking at their past interviews, I would argue that the boyz are in total control. In the prehistoric Confield era they mentioned that all sounds were intentional ie composed. Not sure if these days their approach is very much different and they have fully unleashed their Maxes to perform generative magic totally on their own. I think that what we are hearing is composed! Secondly, my take on Sesh1 is the following. Fuckin' hell they've done it again! It's true that their music is not as groundbreaking as before & it seems that we've heard all these sounds before (elseq, AE_LIVE), but the level of sound manipulation is top notch. Nothing really comes close. These little manipulations of melody on North Spiral, when each bar differs is great. What I miss in general are heavy hitting moments (like Irlite or gorgeous oversteppish melodies). Of course, there are hooks here and there, but overall, I think that the NTS is even more autistic/internal than their older stuff. Music seems supercelebral. It requires attention and focus on the process and lacks the immediate short bursts bliss (Altibzz anyone?). Alco mentiioned jazz as a reference and I agree. This is just not the Kind of Blue jazz, but more like On the Corner thingy! I'm sure it will grow on us. Just give it a bit more time and let it sink in. Now waiting for the second part! Autism intensifies!

    LCC - what a massive track! Today, finally, it clicked for me. It sounds so distant and alien, but at the same time, the progression feels supernatural. GRAET!
  8. keeps making dance music without dance.
  9. Found this pretty good description of JNSN CODE GL16: The Autechre track “JNSN CODE GL16” (Autechre enjoy using inscrutable track titles, perhaps so you have zero preconceptions about the music) opens with a buzzing, metallic, and cavernous melody-esque figure that is without any relation to acoustic timbres. This happens a lot with Autechre: the music catches you pigeon-toed by foregoing obvious connections to what you already know and you’re left off-balance. The melody-esque figure is simultaneously a echo-percussive sound too, doubling as the track’s rhythmic element. One minute into the track a kind of atmospheric pad drone joins in. The drone is beguiling: You can’t tell if it’s one or five notes. You can’t tell if it’s looping. You can’t tell if it’s forging ahead or retreating. It’s rather mesmerizing: How does Autechre do this with that? About four minutes in, as you’re still trying to figure out the effects of the atmospheric pad drone, you notice that the buzzing metallic melody has vanished, leaving in its wake traces of itself in the form of pitched echoes bouncing around the sound field. Six minutes into the seven-and-a-half minute track, both the melody and the pad are gone, but instead of silence we hear what sounds like the attack points of the vanished melody knocking about a wonky plate-reverbed place. I’m not a sci-fi person, but I’ll admit that the end of “JNSN CODE GL16” evokes a robot discovering it has muscles, shadow-boxing in an abandoned warehouse somewhere.
