    Your pointless thoughts & observations

    ate that acid this morning. was feeling a little apprehensive about it last night so i only took one hit instead of both, kinda glad i did in retrospect. tripped as hard as i wanted to. was a serious one this time. like it was fun and funny for like the first hour and then it got kinda intense and super introspective. first time tripping alone. paced around constantly. took a few pages of notes.

    listened to Geogaddi on the come up, really started feeling it around Alpha and Omega, and completely forgot about the "yellow" and it really caught me off guard and made me laugh my ass off. The hypnotist voice during The Devil is in the Details was making me laugh too, like it just seemed really over the top at the time. Really beautiful record though, was a good peaceful start despite all the dark ominous stuff in it.

    listened to syro and most of quaristice too. syro has so much like, crazy wriggling shit in it, was really digging it. quaristice sounded completely alien. like in a good way. like "wow, people made music that sounds like this. how???"

    after that i played a little piano

    I use to work at a Restaurant. I would often play incunabula, when ever I did customers would complement the music, and ask who it was. This did not happen with anything else.

    lol yeah it's practically pop music. which i think is why i prefer it over amber so much, cuz it's a little cheesy but at least it's catchy and accessible, and sometimes really beautiful (444). Amber is just kind of uninteresting imo...

    Seriously, I don't >hate< Incunabula but it has become my least favorite AE album, in no small part because it hasn't aged as well as the rest.  Amber sounds a much more mature effort to my ears.

    i feel like as far as the mainline albums go, Incunabula and Amber are the only ones that sound in any way dated. Amber sounds like the early 90s, but starting with Tri Repetae it just sounds like Autechre to me

    The Flaming Lips have a release like this where you play 4 at the same time I think... madness

    i remember the pitchfork review of this being basically "this sucks, who the fuck has four CD players?" lol. which i mean, yeah

    All albums best to worst

    from ep7 onwards it is not possible for me to establish any priorities, it is as if, having reached a certain degree, everything that came out afterwards represents different aspects of this "maturity". I can only say that I don't love tri-repetae and incunabula - I'm surprised how often they are considered to be best works -, but what is better between exai and untilted - according to what parameter? - it is a bit like establishing which is the best painting by Klimt or the best writing by Kant: are we not talking about a field where the best and the worst have been overcome?

    I made my list according to my feelings with no further objective criteria. I can prefer one set of tracks over another, i.e. I can ask myself "would I rather listen to this album or this album" and then answer, also recognizing that my answer to that question could change given certain circumstances (how I'm feeling, where/how I'm listening, etc.). The only parts of my list that I knew instantly were that I wanted Untilted and Draft in the top 2 and Amber at the bottom, the rest of the albums I had to evaluate against each other.
