  1. i'm a pretentious cunt when it comes to wearing tshirts at gigs. as far as i'm concerned, wearing a tshirt of the artist you're seeing is redundant since you're already supporting the artist by being there. LOL, yes you are! I wear the shirts for that golden moment when someone goes "You like Autechre!? Me too!" while you're listening to Autechre oh i won't take out my pretentiousness-cuntishness on you mate, i just personally would much rather be a hipster and wear something like a MBV tshirt or something, just to "be different" :p

  3. That's my Quari and AE designed ones then. The one AE designed is typically ironic though. Black 'autechre' in Untilted font on a black shirt, so you can only see it in certain light. lol? i've got those two shirts also, and i have a black tshirt that has #000000 in black shiny ink :p
  4. you should've checked discogs - there's a mint, store stock one on there for $6 ($3 postage) are you just collecting it? seems strange to get that, and not go for the whole album pretty sure they mean $20 for the lot i should get some sleep

  6. Bleep would have encoded the MP3s from the highest quality source they have, so there'd be no difference whatsoever...whether you'd downloaded the MP3 format from Bleep, or downloaded the WAV format and encoded your own MP3s....except with Bleep you get the track-by-track artwork, and with encoding it yourself you get the "satisfaction" of knowing you encoded them yourself. with the greatest love in the world, as an autechre listener, i give you my facepalm virginity here on this messageboard
  7. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  8. Pre-ordering from bleep gives you the access to the downloads now. Don't forget, it also gives you the **EXCLUSIVE** track-by-track artwork to the MP3s. plus... I would rather give bleep my money over amazon. also you don't get access to the 24bit files if you buy from anywhere other than Bleep you mean you don't get access to the 24bit files if you buy from anywhere other than bleep if you are not very resourceful I'm sitting happily on a pile of 24-bit files and i ordered mine from Amazon.com touché

  10. Try Amazon (US/UK/JPN/DE) or Boomkat. Those all have it. oh i preordered about 5 seconds after the announcement, but thanks :)
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Daa9W6SeE3Y row row row your boat razor and blade!
  12. nope, nothing wrong with you at all - stops you getting sick of it in such a short period of time.
  13. Which is also why Confield, Draft and Untilted are unmemorable wastes of time and are little more than atmospherics + overcooked drum programming. /dons shield Oversteps is the album that should have followed EP7, but if it took them 10 years of cock-waving to get to this point, it was worth the wait. /dons armour as well read the rules
  14. it's my first exposure to Drexciya, and it was probably a bad idea, since i want them all now *sadfase* Was in Vinyl Exchange in Manchester this weekend, they have most of the early Drexciya EPs up on the walls - £30 - £40 a pop i'm gonna have to go in there when i've got some spare money
  15. here you go as for embedding them into AIFF or WAV files, i'm not sure if it's possible? take that with some salt though
  16. hmmm i'm not too keen on the abrupt end to Yuop :-s but other than that, i'm really pleased with this album
  17. is anyone else picking up on the vaguely Vangelis-like timbres? i like this album a LOT and cannot wait to get it on vinyl
  18. oh my fuck. ilanders is going to sound so good on vinyl through my system
  19. i will have it in 1 min. total download time was 9 mins What sort of connection have you got? Mine is saying 2 hours to download the wavs. i've got a 50mbps connection boyee

  21. This: It's not correlated. Cd can handle more extremes because LASER can read more accurate and faster than needle and that's way it's more appropriate for 'loudness war' not because CD has better dynamic range. I think there's a language gap here. CDs have a greater dynamic range, hence lower noise floor, than vinyl. CD mastering often means brickwall limiting, which means the loss of one of the advantages of the CD medium, the greater range of dynamics that is allowed, although it will retain the advantage of a lower noise floor. At no point did I say the loudness war was an unavoidable consequence of the greater dynamic range of cds. The 'loudness war' started with vinyl. Please stop cutting my quotes up to imply something that I haven't said. Again, I'm totally confused about your argument here. We were talking about the advantages and disadvantages of vinyl in the real world. From my experience, vinyl tends to be more sympathetically mastered than cd. Are you suggesting that brickwall limiting isn't a problem for cds? That I don't believe that vinyl isn't more sympathetically mastered than cd? At no point am I making any correlation between dynamic range and brickwall limiting. I am saying that brickwall limiting negates one of the adavantages of greater dynamic range. IMO it's not because of 'brickwall limiting' per se... Limiters are inevitable but they can be set to limit only like 0.01 dB if you want. Amber sounds far better on Cd to me. Untilted too...even if it's somewhat overcompressed. It's because of disability of the vinyl to reproduce crispy sounds with a fast attack equally good as CDs. I remember watching a documentary about the Queen. One producer said that they had difficulties getting Freddie Mercury to sound good on vinyl but CD changed that completely. I think that most of today's music is being overcompressed at mixing stage not mastering but if some mastering engineer gets an album to make a vinyl master then he must compress it MORE than for a CD because vinyl has lower dynamic rage and the needle is not quick enough and the vinyl is not thick enough for a drastic changes in loudness. If some album is too much overcompressed i'm not listening it more than once...i can't! It could be pressed on the golden voyager plates. No way! Like >>>>Clark<<<<< Too bad he fucked up pretty good albums! Maybe he sounds better on vinyl. ...but i'm sure not good enough. while your point about vinyl playback not being able to handle sudden and extreme changes in volume is pertinent from a physics standpoint, the fact still remains that CDs are mastered a certain way that causes digital clipping of the original waveforms. you only have to open up a recent Depeche Mode CD in a waveform editor to see the plateau effect. Yes, vinyl may be mastered so that there are less extreme dynamic changes in a short space of time, but at least you don't get digital crunch at the waveform peaks. also, lol at The Queen
