I noticed a general similarity between Exai synths and the ones on AFX - Backdoor.Netshadow -- it's cool
also similar to certain layers in st epreo
-
the track at 1:06:34 shares stuff with runrepik too... specifically that high pitched hit that almost sounds like someone saying "bass" but isn't (which happens at 3:11 in runrepik)
-
nice i hadn't seen that one before. don't like how they are dancing already before the beat drops, but once it does it syncs pretty damn perfectly
-
you have to also dance when you do that. get the blood up.

100 years old and surprisingly modern sounding. I was expecting something more like pierre schaeffer's bullshit, but this stuff is so much better. some of it almost sounds like granular synthesis. -
It's really weird to me that this has only been out for 9 days... it feels like a long time already.
-
Mike Slott's stuff on Lucky9teen also sounds familiar.. especially something like Amanallah or 6 am
-
Exai sounds like
Bok Bok & Cubic Zirconia - Reclash (Dub)
&
Philipp Quehenberger - Wives With Knives
i was checking up on some of the names they dropped in this interview from 2011: http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/7973/1/autechre-return

someone should plot out an events per second track scale.. the tracks with highest amount of events per second are special
-
revisiting orch v, quite a piece of work. many things going on per second (more than, say, exai ). quite entertaining for the adhd.

the ambient beauty of the mid section of bladelores (before the beat drops) is serious business. stop listening to it as 'autechre' and just hear it as sound/music, it's really a nice thing to have put into existence... good for them.
-
i swear the first half of vekoS has an evil man whispering "say your prayers" in various cadences like something from a movie vhs head would sample
-
they've really brought the bass with this album. Lots of subsonic layers you can only access on a sound system.
I want entire albums in the style of the end section of FLeure.

"I think a lot of people, when they're constructing complex music, have this idea that for something maddeningly complex to change into something else that's maddeningly complex you've got to do it suddenly," says Sean, "But there are millions of ways you can do it, because you can have your entire track changing piece by piece as it rotates, and that's what we're into. We like things like a puzzle where it's revealing itself and changing. And you can almost follow it, because it works the same pace as your brain works. The trick is not to get it to work faster or slower, but to get it in tune with yourself. And obviously there are some people who work faster than that, and they'll hear it and think this is boring, and there are people who work slower than that, and they'll think this is too much. For us it's the right pace."
In some ways I think this aspect is missing of late, but in some tracks they still nail it.

whom should be who in the first line
i haven't gotten past that yet

laying in bed with exai on headphones:
on speakers: -
listening to this for the first time, it's making me feel ill. eyebrow. it's like silent hill dark. but you could pop to it. i love it.
-
pure speculation: mayhaps exai was composed in the same fashion that the live sets are composed, and the high emphasis on reverb and spatial manipulation of relatively simpler sounds is their way of simulating the live experience. they don't like soundboards because the live ambience is lost... this is their way of adding it back into the equation. /derp
-
That moment in spl9 after the 3 minute mark where that ambient pad wash comes in... is one of the most paranoid CNS response inducing autechre moments ever. so loud and unexpected.. it made me think something had crashed through my window behind me the first time i heard it on headphones
-
I've now done Quaristice seamlessly into Oversteps into Exai on headphones and the stereo image on exai is much wider in a disconcerting way... many elements that would normally be mixed to sound in front of you are pushed to the sides. in prac-f it leaves an emptiness directly in front of you, kind of feels like travelling down a dark tunnel in a train car.
by the end of the track things start swooping down from the ceiling at you
-
the stereo imaging is amazing, especially in 1 1 is... need headphones to really appreciate that.
New Autechre EP - L Event

Anyone feel like this is more of a headphone record than Exai? It opened up for me with them, on cheap speakers it's not worth it, sounds like a muddle.
