    Ep7,  Draft 7.30 and Confield just aren't my cup of tea and NTS seems in the same vein.

    Ha, I think we must have the opposite taste in Autechre as far as that is possible. EP7 and Draft are possibly my favourites (apart from, uh, loads of other stuff that is also my favourite depending on the day/time/season/what I'm eating/any other variable).

    I do feel what you are saying re the length of NTS. I love NTS 3 but giving anything that intense the attention it deserves for 2 straight hours (outside of that first listen on NTS which was incredible) is pretty grueling. Especially since I killed my attention span with my phone.

    It's one of the best things about listening to Autechre on vinyl for me - bitesize chunks I can give my entire attention to, then have a little break before further digestion.

    IIRC I've posted this in other Ae threadz, but this always struck me as the inspiration for this track:

     

     

     

    6-36 is dece 'n all but the above cannot be improved upon

     

    (tl:dr)  I drive a hyundai wagon that for some unknown reason the stock stereo has amazing sub-bass response, through which I discovered there's a subtle pulse under that R&S track that I didn't know existed,changing the entire complexion of the track.

    How have I not heard this before?

    subrange 6-36 is timeless classic status to me now. I listen to it every day, usually when I've just woken up. It's a perfect soundtrack for slowly coming back to full consciousness, like a deep sea diver rising to the surface.

    lol, thems was my lurking days :fear:

    Those were the days.

    Perfectly used in that scene as well. If you were only featured in one movie soundtrack, you'd be pretty proud for it to be Pi (I adore that film). The soundtrack itself is fairly canonical as far as IDM soundtracks go.

    Of course ae has cropped up sporadically in tv shows and adverts. Like a decade ago when rale was used during a BBC program about feeling comfortable naked.

    I vaguely remember hearing V-Proc on Top Gear in an interview for a Ford Fiesta.

  5. I remember lolling thinking Hello Everything was a fake but then realised it wasn't.

    And now it's your favourite Squarepusher album, am I right?

  6. I think Incunabula is weak too. I can only listen to Kalpol Introl, Bike, and Lowride anymore. Even then it's about 2 or 3 times a year, at the end of winter.

     

    Now, Legofeet? That's still the shit.

     

    Doctrine tho?

     

    Lego Feet is indeed still the shit.

  7. Took Quaristice for a moonlight walk with my new headphones this evening and heard it in a way I never had before.

     

    Took a longer route home than necessary just so I could keep listening, walking downhill on a country lane with trees silhouetted in moonlight with Paralel Suns playing blew me away. Just incredible.

     

    So much stuff I never noticed before in the music and the way the atmosphere of the album works. That whole thing Sean talked about in the AAA (I think) about the album being like a dream with different doors leading to different worlds made total sense. Also a real Lynchy vibe came through.

     

    This is something no other artists give me, that sense that this is something you have to live with and you can't force it, but in a certain situation the music will come alive in ways you never expected long after you think you have completely assimilated it. There is so much more in this album than I had ever given it credit for previously.

     

    I kept the headphones on when I got home and stayed in its atmosphere, then drove to a mates still listening and bathing in its purple glow.

     

    I'm waiting for a similar moment with Oversteps, it's probably the one autechre album that has never completely clicked for me. That said I thought I had clicked with Quaristice ages back, but I guess not.

  8. Jack Johnson and On The Corner I feel have the most parallels. Especially the title track of the latter, the way the snare kind of seems to slip around the beat.

  9. yikes indeed. on another note.. the comparison was mentioned many times in the nts megathread, but ive been re-obsessing over fusion miles and the way his band could maintain a groove over long-form tracks while each instrument is expressive and independent within the whole. not to get hyper-analytic about it but just to say that this era of miles and recent autechre really compliment one another for me, and when im in that mood i really enjoy to bounce between them freely.

    Yeah mang fully.

     

    I got a box set of late 70s Miles around the time of NTS, I was seeing parallels everywhere.
