  1. this album is such a beast. dense. detailed. sam & rod were definitely not short of ideas here.

     

    i still regard this as their last actual 'album'. since then we've gotten live recordings (AE LIVE), extended jams of their tour material (ELSEQ), and the long evolving radio session jams (NTS), but we haven't gotten an actual "album", with all the WARP promotion, round of interviews, artwork, etc that that entails.

     

    is there a difference? there is to me. there's something different about an "album" release. more work on the production, editing, mastering.

     

    the stuff the've done since then has been cool and i've liked it but i still feel that something is missing. an extra level of polish or production, or depth to the sounds. it's hard to describe but if you put on exai now & listen to it you will immediately hear the difference. i feel like their current max-based system generates so much stuff that they are kind of letting all that output take the lead. lots of extended jams and sketches but not things that feel like finished works somehow.

     

    i mostly agree, but to me that is a good thing, this new direction. we've had way too much "proper" material from the boys,

    with "clear" compositions and great ideas, right now i am hugely intrigued by the possibilities that lie ahead with the "live" setup.

     

    the fact alone that the last gigs lasted half an hour longer has me pumped for the next european tour...

    guys you know the difference between sharing opinions (while listening to music most probably)

    on a forum and talking first person on youtube, right?

    you've seen the millions of hipsters talking about bullshit in this format, right?

     

    right?

    So just to be clear. Sharing opinions in the form of writing is ok, but sharing while talking on yt is not?!?

     

    i see a huge difference between a forum and the stupid-talking-to-a-fuckin-camera kind of sharing, so yeah.

    i already mentioned, maybe i'm too old...

    Ah come on then, lets get in the bath you big flirt you !

     

    i'm lighting the candles, press play on parallel suns and let's, yeah...

    really? elseq and NTS both contain large amounts of that freeform improv vibe of late 60s and early 70s miles. elseq 5 is nail on the head.

    Jazz is shit. Faktreally!

     

    Imo :)

     

     

     

    excellent stuff! to add to the mayhem before i go back to nts...

     

  5. Well im with bulk on this. I found myself skipping through both sessions and fast-forwarding tracks, biiiig 'so far'

    Last time i did that was with eastre and before that with subrange 6-36 but just to see if anything elsez going on. Im not saying this is bad per se (subrange 6-36 is my fav ae track now) just itz different. I see these sessions just like that, like sessions, something that differs from their regular releases. They have albums that are the most emotionally pollished and time-proof, eps that are "more radical ideas", release of live sets /cause ppl asked/, which are the most 'immidiate' and now this sessions which are something in between, maybe between eps and lives.

    Imo

    the way i see these tracks where "not much is going on" is like we get to dive to a microscopic level of ae compositions where everything stretches the fuck out and time, of course, slows down from a bangin' raver to a hip hop jam. it has always been about data/second with ae for me and now this release adds a new fascination. like ae cram all the details and you imagine what this hip hop jam might be as you float further from it.

     

    for example, convert violvoic to 8min 30 sec and you got a fuckin' banger. but you lose all the trempling bass that you can appreciate in the "zoomed in" original version...

  6. has anyone started listening to two tracks simultaneously or is it just me?

    curvcaten goes brilliantly with spTh...

    I saw Stephan Mathieu rate this release with a 2 star out of 5 on discogs, 4 for the stuff and minus 2 coz of "the joke that is 24-bit version". Wonder what he meant (i prefer listening to 128 mp3 since it was my peak days habit and i never move on)

     

    considering he sells his own stuff in 24 bit as well it's probably not about the "humans can't tell difference anyway" thing. anyhow i don't quite get the point, it's like "wagner yeah, 5 points for the music, -3 because he's an antisemite."

     

     

    Your example isn't really comparable, discogs is the place for finding out about cut quality as much as about music. Sure there could be a Holocaust music lovers site, where they rate nazi loyalty level. Needless to say, rating habits are differ, some are giving 1-stars to the best stuff and don't give much of a fuck, at least Mathieu left a note.

     

    So what's wrong with 24-bit version then? Any non-humans?

     

    He's on same path now. He is going to release 12 CDs of his music and raised 12K euros for it via kickstarter.

     

     

    well, in his own words...
