    I listened to it on friday. First time to the japanese version, with 9 tracks on each CD. I felt it more complete: YJY UX is an epic closer, with a great sense of a finale, but I feel at this length is good, if the album has a postlude to calm down, an to reflect to all that happended: and 18 (keyosc) just does this excellently. Such a great album.

    Formatting date as anything other than mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy should be criminal.

     

    Makes document control a nightmare.

     but whole world uses DMY, except USA + Canada. also metric system is better than Imperial system, obviously tsk tsk tsk

     

    Nope. In Hungary we use YMD. Everything else sucks.

    Is there any album in the world more 'deep space' than Elseq 5? I think not.

    Space and silence are one of the key themes or moments of elseq 5. It's amazing how many approaches the guys have to this. I love it.

    ^ Yeah.

     

    "Their new stuff is just loose, unedited jams" is the 2010s equivalent of "their new stuff is just pressing play on a random note generator" in the 2000s. If you look back in this thread you'll see the exact same criticisms thrown at Exai--except that I guess now everyone's realized that it's actually ridiculously detailed/deliberate?

     

    I do think their newer material tends to have fewer discrete layers than on Draft, Untilted, etc. though. Now the complexity is more embedded in the sound design itself. I think they said in the AAA that the boundary between sound design and sequencing was kind of gone for them. So you have tracks like c7b2 or mesh cinereal where it's hard to mentally divide things into separate layers sound, but where there's actually a ton of crazy shit going on--or c16 deep tread where there's seemingly very few layers but lot of richness and morphology in many of the sounds.

     

    Anyways that's my longwinded way of saying that their newer works (at least elseq, I haven't listened to nts much yet tbh) very much feel like "legitimate" releases to me.

    I agree with you completely. I don't really care how a track is made - and I think we can't really know how AE produces his stuff. There is some subtle change of sound and structures in the newer stuff, but I don't think that would mean lesser quality. This change is very hard to grasp, and I mostly think it's based only on a different approach on musical time. Not just that the tracks are longer: that's only the result. But how to build up stuff, how to fill time. To be able to create miniatures: composing short peaces with a lot of stuff going on is not much harder than composing elaborate peaces that fill more time with musical material. Autechre was not only exploring sounds ever since, but exploring compositional methods too. Just like they tried to make rhythmically complex pieces without drums (Oversteps).

    So. Elseq and NTS sound perhaps different as Draft but that's not bad. That's necessery. That's good. That's Autechre.

    I didn't listened to NTS in it's entirety since April, then two weeks ago on my vacation on the beachside sunbathing I listened for the first time to the whole 8 hours in one session. It was great.

    Next listening session is planned when the CDs arrive...

    It's not so bad. I have a different opinion on the music but he took the task seriously. It's far better than some written reviews we had.

     

    Could it be more in-depth? Sure, but that would be no review anymore but a musicologist thesis with full musical analisys. Somebody should do that.
