    Are you totally happy with the Blackbox Life Recorder 21 f EP Release so far?

    Nothing about this guy is "fresh" imo, he just makes the same track over and over. I knew it would have that snare sound before even clicking, lol. He is by far and wide the most ludicrously overhyped artist in the genre. Rips off and insults his fans. And it's somehow special when he actually plays his own material live? Wow! And now all this hype for this little precum drip of tracks... Plus loads and loads of useless, wasteful brand-name merch. It's gross, flagrant capitalist narcissism. His heyday was over 20 years ago lol, it only gets more ridiculous with time. And the soundcloud dump? Dump indeed. Just a pile of garbage archive tracks. We all have hundreds of those lol, but most have the good taste to never put them out. 
    Ok thanks for tuning in, I'll go back to never posting in this forum now. :emotawesomepm9:

    Any diehards memorize the AMA and know where he said it? :duckhunt: I seem to recall him mentioning that too, but I thought there was more to work with. My vague lasting impression has been that he indicated the 2010 could be worked on and released at some point, maybe one or two sets. Then the golden "ok" to your post seals the deal. Sean thx in advance :catsalute:

    @Draft78 I remember Sean sort of confirming your question that the 2010 sets might be released someday. I had to go and look for it (in "twitch ama" thread) :

    Vague as usual, we don't know what this "ok" means, but I think the fact he made the effort to come back and reply to you at all could mean something. 

    What TV series are you watching at moment?

    I gave up circa s13. Saw a few more recent episodes, but nothing past s20ish.

    It got bad, then sorta good again, then really bad, and now it's still bad and I think I still have like 4 more seasons to go? :catsuicide:

    I grew up with the Simpsons and now I'm almost the same age as Homer.

    mbe life itself is the point ? the ability to recognise these conditions & to change, adapt, overcome them ?

      ?️ nature, fine art, swimming, good company, spiritual teachings, les mémes dånque, & great music help to encourage & soothe my soul ? 

    I agree :ok:

    But yeah I suspect everyone is feeling this shit on some level (it was referring to BobDobalina's post above mine), the constant unease etc, because how could you not? We're constantly inundated with news of how the world is falling apart in countless ways, and all around us is evidence of it, shit's falling apart... Even the most bluepilled of them all must still be aware of it. People find ways to not care, to yolo their way through it or whatever, distract themselves with work and entertainment. Or as you said, seek what meaning there is in life even if it's just the appreciation of beauty and the moment. And caring for each other. That's all good stuff and that is indeed what gets us through. Spirituality helps too. Doesn't change the fact that the world is the way it is and it's always there in our minds, more so than ever now with constant newsfeeds etc.  Our brains are not designed to be aware of this much shit and they're short-circuiting.

    That's very strange, something just made me think of The Road just yesterday. More specifically I was thinking about the time in my life when I read it. I think of the story/setting a lot. It's probably the most deeply unsettling book I've ever read. And I remember choosing to read it during a time when life was good, because I'd been warned how disturbing it would be. It was a good idea and I did enjoy it. Well "enjoy" isn't really the right word for a book like that. But it was a good read. And otherwise it probably would have really messed me up if I read it when I'm unwell. It has certainly made an impact in my mind. Haven't seen the movie, and haven't read any of his other books. I started No Country for Old Men at one point but couldn't get into it. He's generally not an easy read. A few years ago a friend of mine, a writer and huge Cormac McCarthy fan, actually had access to his archives, notes and all that kind of stuff. Can't remember how that came about but he was pretty thrilled. Anyway maybe I'll pick up No Country again, I still have it. RIP.

    Does everyone feel this way? Isn't it simply a fact of living in a world that's essentially doomed, that we are all living an existential nightmare? How does anyone cultivate hope anymore? What's the fuckin point?

    EP7 Appreciation

    in Autechre

    Posted

    I fell in love with EP7 immediately because my first ae love was LP5. This all happened between 1999-2001. In between having LP5 and EP7 I picked up Tri Rep(++) - loved that one too, but it was clear their "new sound" was the best, and so when I got EP7 it was exactly what I wanted to hear. (I picked up confield later in 2001 and felt the same way.) EP7 to me was always an advancement of the LP5 sound, don't ask me how because who knows when tracks were acktchyually made, or how they do things (different methods for different tracks it seems). So "advancement" is subjective I guess. But man those tracks were fresh as fuck and I ate it up. Also, I think it's one of their best track sequences - there's good variety in a cohesive flow and it tells a story. Pir is one of the most beautiful tracks they've done.  (Also: corc has always been my "official" favourite ae track, so watch what u say about Corc 'round these parts ya hear!)
