    I think lp5 cd is my fave ae artwork. I like the boldness of the black plastic and the cheeky sticker. It’s very clever.

    That being said I’ve never really felt any ae artwork describes the music really, just more of a visual accompaniment. Like when listening to ep7 I’m not like oh hell yeah this is a bunch of lines or for untilted like yes this is for sure a billabong pattern in music

    Not a  bunch of lines exactly, more like "dry, detailed, stripped down, black and white" or sth like that makes total sense to me in a synaesthetic level, not as a literal interpretation of the shit that's going on

    in what sense is ep7 “subtle” compared those? 
     

     

    it’s also worth pointing out that in the physical realm the lp5 LP release had different art from the cd and that ep7 was released as 2x12” with the original cd version having a frosted jewel case. 
     

    idk, I’ve never felt subtly in art was the aim with ae. even LP5 sticks out as being more bold than subtle imo

    All the albums i mentioned i have in cd and they look ace. Lp5 vinyl does not look well if i remember correctly.

    Subtle may not be the right word fir ep7, i agree, but it looks very delicate nevertheless and describes the music perfectly...

    Lol im not butthurt about the art? You are the one complaining about itm And btw even though they didn't make it they approved of the artwork since it ended up as the album cover

    i made a valid remark because i just got the vinyl today. exai didn't seem too good on the screen but the quality of the print made up for it.

    i was expecting sth similar with SIGN. to no avail, it is completely forgetable.

    i understand the boys trust DR to do whatever they want, i don't blame THEM for it...

    i totally agree the art is better than on elseq or exai. on the physical copy I think it looks pretty sweet. the superbright orange color of the inner sleeve works really well.

     

    elseq was silly as well imo.

    i personally adore the subtleness of lp5, ep7, peel session II covers, so sign seems too "obvious" and vulgar to me.
    just saying...

    Y'all need to shut your asses about the design LOL. IMO this shit is way better than the fucking blocks and circles of elseq, the boring text "design" of NTS and the QR code ass looking thing on exai. What did you guys want? Some blocks wouldn't do the sound and feel of these albums justice, neither would some spastic fucken computer thingy on the cover a la draft/ untilted. This artwork encaptures the moods of both albums very well.

     

    Rant over lol

     

    so you re even butthurt about something that the ae didn't do themselves and no one is blaming them for?
    goes to show...

     

  8. "but whatever our expectations or hopes for new Autechre music were, this album feels like the record we need in 2020, after the year that it’s been"

    not it isn't. 2020, best year evah. i want my money back!!!

    Apart from the opener (which is very fresh sounding), I’m finding this too. I can’t relate to the reviews that are finding this a new direction. Elseq and especially the NTS Sessions had quite a few tracks were already exploring this melodic/harmonic synth direction, although to be honest I sometimes find those richer and more interesting when I return to them. The big change here is the lack of reverb...but again, stuff like g1e1 from NTS3 was also real dry.

    the opener is a stunner. but then, we got a lot of "g1e1"s, when i hoped for a "continuation" of M4 Lema, or Icari, or l3 ctrl etc etc.
    but the fact that even if i don't like sign, i adore M4 Lema, shows me that the boys still rule, but they are in another phase than me, unfortunately (for me).

    like quaristice and oversteps weren't my thing at all, but then, exai blew my fucking mind...

    OK, I have to say, unfortunately, SIGN is not my cup of tea. It is just so uninteresting. Yes, some layering, but still, it sounds lazy, uninspired, IDK. Even from the sound design perspective as a last resort, nothing interesting there.

    Will probably very sporadically return to it. Sigh. 

    the first one is gorgeous though...

    if you're using a Pitchfork review to bolster your argument

    you're probably making a silly argument

    because Pitchfork is worthless trash and has been for many many years.

    my point really flew by you, didn't it? brilliant!

    So, what if Autechre wasn't Autechre?

    what do you mean? if SIGN wasn't Ae i wouldn't give a flying fuck.
    now i know, because the are brilliant, that they are behind this release 1000%, but i' m just not there, maybe next time.

    I’m old now. I like more mellow, lush soundscapes. More Bladelores, less Fleure. More Surripere less P.:NTIL.

    i' m old now, but in the absolute opposite spot. i' m a data whore, what can i say? i despise all things "accesible"...
