12 minutes in and loving it.

Ha, still thinking there’s going to be an official, hyped up blackbox life recorder EP or LP and that this 10” has nothing to do with it. I do think exclusive releases are total bs, even more so when it’s digitals. Slsk it is, new tracks ahoy!

There's enough hype machine to suggest an EP or LP. Really hoping for an LP with some of the 2017-2019 tracks. There were only 5 (long) weeks between the T69 Collapse single and the EP, so there's that :)

It’s designed to scan the qr code on festivals to get see some augmented reality in the box

Love this!

Same here. Love the rhythms, not too sure about the mouth noises.

Cheers!

I second that. I absolutely love some parts, others I can’t wrap my head around. It’s so dense it just needs enough attention & time. It’s fine to wait for the properly mastered soundboards, or maybe a tour announcement.

What’s a good Alex smoke starting point?

I got a similar response when I got locked out of my main Bleep account (warpstore credentials are a mess). The response was essentially "tough luck, we can't help you" and "we recommend you download your purchases straight away, back them up and don't rely on us to be keeping them online", which was a bit surprising.

You managed to read through all that?

I meant the twentytwentytwo page for tour dates, sorry for the confusion

De live section is gone from the store page ?

Great stuff again

For that mail ? FD23 PRESALE IS LIVE! ?

Yeah, definitelty had some anxiety vibes at Barbican and that was pretty unexpected

Bergen: https://archive.org/details/Autechre2022-11-02

Listened to the Bergen recording this weekend. Sometimes felt like it's some monster that's constantly morphing, there's rhythms and sounds from all of AE's history trying to break through and settling in new combinations, so much beauty and emotion in it. Also, something that sounded like a remix of an older track (can't remember which) using SIGN/PLUS patches. And then there's ambient opening, the melodic opener of the second Barbican set moved to the end, and that sick, sick 'double bass' track from the Helsinki set. Great to hear the enthusiasm in the crowd too. I loved it, and was exhausted by the end. So much to sink your teeth in. Can't wait for the soundboards, and I hope they'll be able to EQ the soundboards in a way that does justice to the actual live sets. Still, I'd be a pity if there'd only be so few live performances of all this material they've created. This was really made to be performed and experienced live.

I've been looking for the article, but I can't find it anymore. iirc, she said she wished (cis)men wouldn't listen to her music and come to her shows, and that her lyrics are strictly queer business now.

Yeah, great fan of the first album. I liked quite a few tracks on Plunge, but stopped listening after a messy live show and some intolerant statements by Karin in an interview I shouldn't have read. I'm curious about all the guest appearances on the new album: https://thequietus.com/articles/32332-fever-ray-new-album-details-radical-romantics

what's with the price though. € 18 for a 50 minute digital album?

I was at C2C for Aphex Twin and Skee Masks a couple of years ago. Both great sets, but the festival itself was a mess. On day 2, the security decided to confiscate all lighters upon entry because the day before, there had been some smoking inside. Huge amounts of cops at the doors too.

great album

iirc, sean mentioned locations that still haven't been announced, so I'm hoping there'll be plenty of new dates in 2023

Love this album! L10, LFIVE and Lacovset are new favourites, but there's a lot of other great tracks on here. A lot of AE NTS vibes, especially on tracks like NB AP, STMS and BS2. Didn't like the King Kashmere tracks before the album was released, but I've really warmed up to them, they make the album work better. It does lose some momentum towards the end, though. Effem feels like an out of place Plaid track or something.
