EXTRASUPER81

Thank you Joseph, you are a champ!

Some (or all - not sure without checking) are in the downloads here, and it's likely some will be on archive.org. I am p sure all are on YouTube somewhere.

What a beautiful artifact

I love that about Autechre, tracks that seem really opaque on first and even tenth listen, suddenly revealing really pretty melodies hidden in plain sight. Clever bastards.

I listened to just Parhelic Triangle in isolation. What an amazing track. Often I find that's the best way to listen to Autechre - just one track at a time, pure focused attention.

Curious who ...... is at midnight.

Rob Hall on AMKS.live right now.

Who you got?

Gutted, what a loss. First DOOM, now this ?

I also appreciate Reaper's 'Guiltware' business model - after a month of use it's still free to use, but when you open it it has a pop up which basically says, come on, don't be a dick, it's only £40 for a lifetime license.

If Reaper works you won't go far wrong - coming from any other DAW to it won't be jarring. I went from being a long time Cubase user to it with zero regrets, straight away it was comfortable and intuitive. Recommended without reservation. Fwiw, when I was doing stuff with DAWs it was mostly doing things that you could, in theory at least (like insanely labour intensively) do using tape - mainly cutting truncating and pitch shifting, using the timeline as a sample arranger - and Reaper was great for this. Haven't done any music in ages (building headphones has been my main creative outlet for the last couple of years) but always telling myself I'll get back to it.

Reaper works on Linux under Wine perfectly by accounts so I would have thought so. I mean, if it doesn't work on WinXP you could always install Ubuntu (or whatever) and run it on that.

New EP from Mark Broom and James Ruskin of Fear Ratio. On Seagrave which as a label are killing at the moment. https://seagrave.bandcamp.com/album/meanwhile-ft-dj-prime-cuts-sensational

117hres24ih sounds like an Autechre track title

Both.

My dog does that

Fuck it, doesn't matter. The story is set, whether or not he did tase himself in the balls is immaterial, he will forever be known as the guy who tased himself in the balls. Cos it's funny.

Wasn't the dekmantel podcast like a 4 hour electro mix? Probably a good place to start I reckon.

My good pally pal Joe finally released an album. He's probably made a tune every 2 weeks or so for the last 20 years so it's about time. Anyway I think it will have appeal here, it's ace. He has a great way with cymbal bells.

I always loved Depth Charge's high end percussion. More usually rides, cymbal bells and tambourine sounds than hats tho. But I really love the graininess he gets, presumably downsampled just right.

I finally listened to my PLUS vinyl and it fucking bangs.

Amazing. Thanks IOS and digit, this is a serious achievement.

Yeah man it's marketing basically. Another place to get the music in the face. Fine.

I have to say, as it stands I love Bandcamp. But I do wish someone would step up as a proper competitor to keep them honest. So far BCs instincts have been spot on with regards to serving the needs of artists while also getting theirs in a sustainable way, but the VC backing behind it gives me pause. I always wonder when they're going to turn.

Jesus guys, HYPE
