What Video Games Are You Currently Playing
jasondonervan replied to Joyrex's topic in General Banter
finally got s++ on lvl 1 and 2 earlier this year (a+ on final), something i kept procrastinating to seriosuly try for the last ~15 years... now i srsly need a break before tackling 3 and 4 which are even lotsa fucks harder... this fucking game man. so beautiful tho... I mostly left it behind during the Dreamcast days, despite grabbing on PC. I'll gladly triple dip for some sweet portable TATE action. My problem is I never sit down and devote myself to a single shmup for scoring or 1CC action, too much of a scenster, gotta be into all the oldies at once, hah. Had plans to dig deep into Muchi Muchi Pork soon, but with portable Ikaruga around the corner, I might have to see what I can do there instead. -

So some extra copies will be floating about.

I never got the notion that Autechre is more easily accessible with their older tracks. I think there are many entrance points throughout their whole discography that vary individually from person to person according to taste. Their newer stuff is more varied and weird, some people might prefer this over their simpler older stuff even at the first listen. I agree that it is very much a highly personal and subjective thing as to how and when an individual finds Autechre appealing, but it is an undeniable truth that most of the writing and reviews surrounding 'newer' releases has almost always emphasised the caveat of finding greater accessibility in the earlier end of the back catalogue.

Currently at the half-way point of a full listen. Neighbours have yet to complain, but I've heard enough of various builders and landscapers running tools with a succession of non-repetitive beats over the years to warrant a loud ae sesh.

The lack of press and marketing still intrigues me, but I won't dwell too much on the motives behind it. Perhaps it was just one (literally) big experiment to see how this much new material would be received over the space of a month without that kind of coverage. And for the fact that it is 8 hours worth, as I listen back now, I don't think I would ever perceive it as an inaccessible work for newcomers. I think NTS opposes the well worn notion of starting with their early material and listening chronologically in order to 'get' Autechre - it exists as more of a fork in the timeline. That isn't to say that someone new to Autechre should not listen to anything prior to NTS, but I believe that is no longer a fundamental requirement to appreciate their latest output, even one as sizeable as this.

Pootube won't touch this with a ten-foot copyright pole, so probably going up on a friendly filehost for whoever wants in on an hour-long 'music video'. Watch this spaece as and when it happens.

Taken as a whole, I find myself playing with the volume dial a lot when listening to NTS, but I don't mean to highlight that as a negative. I believe it to be an entirely intentional facet of this large body of work, and a sobering alternative to the loudness wars of these modern times.

I was initially unsure if I was going to hop along to the London show, having seen the Lopatin man a handful of times, but I knew I'd regret it if I skipped the chance to get my face and ears ripped off by a 'concert-scape' level of OPN. Having been there watching him and Nate Boyce doing a sitdown AV show to less than a hundred people several years back to what he's up to now is rad. Fingers crossed for something special!

Still processing the notion that this actually happened over the past 4 weeks. Putting whatever the motivation and machinations of the minimal promotion for such a maximal work aside, this has been great fun to experience the sessions in such a communal manner, and I'm glad I rode back into town after being in the wilderness for so long to enjoy it with all you wuttums.
