From what I remember Autechre did the artwork for both. Also something I just recently noticed about the Confield art is that it isn't just some image still on top of a white background, the white is a C. For Confield, presumably.

Uhhhhh so I ordered the CD+WAV and my downloads aren't available?

Exactly. If you're a fan you've already preordered this. I don't think they really have 'swing voters' anymore.
Also, preview tracks ruin albums for me. You've always got that one track that has associations attached to it.
From the fan perspective, sure, but Warps job is to find swing voters.

...Ae have reached a status that does not need prew, an announcement seems to be enough, a little to place orders, a little to drag us into a lusty spiral of dementia for 2 months
I agree, I was more talking about Warp, who are a record label trying to make more money than they made off of Autechres previous release, as is business as usual. Not knocking them, just how things work. Especially after NTS, which what I can tell was probably a success, but you have to remember they probably shelled out a lot of cost on their end to print up 8 LP 4 CD box sets, not to mention refunds and exchanges for quality control issues.

This is also a justification for not releasing previews.
I mean I suppose, although I could argue that previews being released would generate people talking about the music and possibly direct attention to it that may not have been there just based on a release date. Although I guess that will happen eventually, but if they are after preorders, might help.

Will probably end up buying a cd because new Autechre album, but Werp, at least put up previews. It’s 2020. The people who are gonna buy this are going to buy it. And the people who aren’t wont be persuaded by an announcement followed by radio silence until release, what is this a Boards of Canada record? Although I must admit this feels very un-autechreish which is kind of exciting.

sounds legit. can anyone confirm?
Yea

Just watch this gif for the duration of the EP. Makes sense. -

How does one go about ordering the deluxe edition Japanese CD?

My second fav behind Quaristice.

I like this record, but man it could have been so much better if he would have dove into the concept album pool like he wanted to. That interview where he says James Blake told him to steer clear of that....are you kidding me? Who is James Blake? I feel like that was the one thing holding this record back. Every time a narrative begins being explored, it's cut short. Which is a shame. There are moments where he really hits on something and apparently James Blake decided to cock block the rest of it. Whatever it was, this album could have been amazing, but it's just pretty good. It's an interesting listen, and the album artwork and packaging is probably the most badass shit I've ever see. Wish the music matched that.

You just lost my last ounce of respect wurst.
You just eaten my last ounce of Wurst, Spiral. I am not saying that in a gay kind of way.
Seriously, fLh, really? What's attractive in that track? Anything? 5 Ae fans like it. The other 90 Billion don't.
fLh is sick. One of my favorites of the entire sessions. Pure funky ae hip hop.

Can't wait to hear this new Post Malone album.

Ready for installment two. After several listens through the first session, gotta say, the second half is where it's at. Carefree counter dronal through 32a_reflected is where it's at.

O shit, just now found out about all four sets being available on Bleep. Too bad I'm broke as fuck right now.
Guess they figured after the first one leaked they were like, "Fuck it, same thing will happen to the other three. Might as well release everything now."
Where are you seeing all four sets available on Bleep? Only place I've seen them is the AE store, and it's only the first set that is up right now, with the whole thing up for pre-order.

What's with Cheetah's track list being all mixed up, but just the titles? Like Cirklon1 is actually Cirklon3? It's all fucked.
-
choirDrill sounds like an early mashup of Inkey$ and 4, amiright
The first part reminds me of the break of To Cure a Weakling Child. I think some parts are identical...
Also, parts of Bucephalus Bouncing Ball.

I assume SAW I is absent because R&S still hold rights? But why no SAW II?
-
consta-lume is SO similar to one of the sc tracks but i just cant place it.... what is it????
I thought it was some version of this.

Yeah, if he made Syro with all hardware...then I believe he could do anything with that set up. A computer just makes these types of edits/ arrangements easier but I believe you get much more for your time when going the hardware route. IMO if he would have made all computer albums like RDJ, Druqs with a hardware set up instead....they would have sounded that much better.
For me the drums and percussion on Syro, Analord, ODS, Cheetah, aren't nearly as expressive and dynamic as on RDJ, Come To Daddy or Drukqs. They sound very flat and lack a lot of velocity variation comparatively. It could just be a choice of taste at the time I suppose, but to me it seems he's not able to get that wide range of expressiveness in the percussion with the hardware. But like I said maybe he just chose not to.

Not all of the gear he uses is analogue, he has also used plenty of digital synthesizers/samplers in his set up...FM, wavetable and many others are digital as are most hardware samplers. I think a lot of people here get confused and think that all hardware is analogue. I've discussed this at length here before...but one typically does not use vst's when you have access to the collection of gear that Richard has in his arsenal, which is nothing short of a dream set up and one that most producers would kill for. You don't drive a Prius when you have Ferrari's, Lambourghini's, Porches, Benz's etc.. You just don't. A lot of people who post here have these massive misconceptions about gear, computers, electronic music production in general. Softsynths are synthesizers that are struggling (at best) to emulate real pieces of digital and analogue hardware...and none of them come close in sound quality. A soft version of an H3000 does not sound like it's $5000 hardware counterpart. When you are RDJ - there is almost nothing he can't achieve with his hardware set ups that he could with a computer....and it will sound infinitely better in quality as a result.
I've personally used and tested every one of the most coveted soft synths on the market in the past 15 years -including the newer ones like Serum. I also have about 10 pieces of hardware, some of it vintage. I don't care what it is, vst's sound relatively the same and they all lack a certain realness, soul, substance, organic quality that good hardware has, hell even most cheap hardware sounds somehow more substantial. Even digital hardware synthesizers, you would think a computer with a good soundcard/interface would be comparable but it's still somehow lacks something. Computer generated music always has sort sterile sheen over the whole production. I still use vst's myself but only out of substitution for what I can't afford in the hardware world but I put a lot of effort through effects and such to make it sound like it didn't come from a computer.
I understand this, and agree. Not really what I was getting at with my hope for him to return to producing on a laptop. I feel like his, and most producers, approach is naturally different when producing on a laptop vs hardware. Different setups take you down different avenues and results in different types of sounds and techniques. Personally a lot of my favorite aphex is stuff he's done on a laptop, and it seems he hasn't really done that in a while. I think it would be interesting to see what that approach would bring all these years later after his dive into mostly analog hardware production.

Why is Autechre so difficult for people to like?
in Autechre

As someone who really didn't get into Autechre the first 1000's times I heard tracks, and who is now a massive fan, I think it has to do with the at first seemingly lack of melody in a lot of their music. (Yes, I know it's all there) but that's what I got caught up on for so long. It seemed like there was a severe lack of melody, or good melody anyway. It's there it's just presented in a really strange and obtuse way a lot of the time, especially with their mid to late period stuff, so a lot of their music doesn't lend itself to playing a track for someone who's never listened and making a profound first impression IMO, unless the impression is meant to be brain melting like Gantz Graf or something.
