Yeah this is the one I was thinking of. Not just this one but many similar to this that were in the news in 2021, under development in various places. There's always the possibility that things didn't work out in trials, but it's definitely odd to not be hearing much of anything about any of them. And yeah the little tweaks they're making to the current vaccines are too little too late, and the thought of chasing after it like that forever is ludicrous when really these were supposed to be just a temporary measure until we can get a "real" vaccine. They should be working their asses off on it, and it's strange to take this long when the ones we have now were rolled out so quickly - yeah, that was pre-existing technology etc, but still, it's been a couple years now?

^ The problem with narratives like that is they presume we are stuck with current vaccine models forever. Have we given up hope that they design a better vaccine that works against variants? Why isn't anyone talking about that anymore?

More jaz memse plz

Yeah I second this. I get ear infections easily and always end up with plugged ears at best when I have a cold, don't want to imagine a worse version of that from COVID . Just found out I'm a close contact of a confirmed case, had an extended conversation with this person on tuesday without masks, so right now I'm in the waiting period. Had to cancel my birthday plans

What's the obsession with "Dad" stuff these days?

So who's got this whole thing memorized word for word yet?

^ I think that's just a youtube/browser glitch, not a watmm glitch. I've seen it happen too and all I had to do was refresh the page.

It's really more of an "if you like autechre then you might also like this" thread, which is quite a bit more broad and interesting than "music that sounds like autechre" innit Or things that resonate with one aspect of ae but don't necessarily "sound like" them

Yeah this is kinda how I would interpret the "intelligent" in idm now. Not intelligent like "music for intelligent people", the common contentious interpretation, but rather as if the music itself is intelligent in the sense of "intelligent life forms", especially considering how much of it now uses generative processes etc. But yeah I still dislike the label either way. I dropped "idm" into a sentence the other day and the person didn't know what it was, and I immediately backtracked with "well it's a stupid term..." and was reluctant to even explain it lol, having to go into the history of the term and explain that most artists branded as such reject it

I wonder if Rob would ever do one of these too? Rob pls

O hey he says it again at 4:12:44 in this video and pronounces it differently, the way it would sound phonetically. So maybe the first time was just a slip-up, or someone typo'd it in the chat and he read it out loud? Haven't looked at the chat transcripts. The next AMA shall focus on asking him to pronounce track titles out loud

Who the fuck still reads pitchfork?

Yeah lick"fly" was a surprise for me too lol. Always thought of it as lick"flea" I think he pronounced elyc6 like "elsick six" or "L66" which was kinda weird, there's no s or c in it there. I'd have to go back and listen again tho and have no idea where that bit was. Anyone catch it? He was confirming that yes it was made in one day but he didn't recall telling anyone that in the first place iirc.

Finished binging these last night, incredible. Fuckin love this guy lol. I know he says the music should speak for itself, but I have to admit I always find new appreciation for it when I hear them talk about it. Also really enjoy his personality. Zero bullshit. Sean thx One standout for me is that the songs he still rates from Amber are the exact same ones I do, no shit!

I think it might be a reference to this:

Nah

Pretty sure it's just sloppy looping flol

Slept on this for ages, but recently have been really getting into it. Springtime evening walks. "Hedonic Treadmill" is really making me feel something, human emotions.

Why do people like r cazt so much?

I love elseq more and more all the time. Didn't really get into it until a couple years ago and I consider myself a diehard fan. The more I listen to it, the more the earlier perception of "these are just jams" dissipates. If anything the NTS stuff feels way more like jams to me, almost all of it. Fewer layers and less development/progression over the course of a track. Nothing wrong with that. But I don't perceive elseq that way anymore (apart from obvious examples like tbm2, pendulu casual and eastre, which are still awesome in their own right but did not interest me at all for a long time for that reason). Different listening experiences and the passage of time helped with that. The volume of material, familiarity of AE_LIVE elements, and confusion/annoyance over those more repetitive, stripped down tracks, create a sort of fog for a lot of fans where the whole thing seems that way, but it's actually got a lot of tracks that are fully developed and "tell a story" and have shitloads of detail etc etc. 13x0 step, foldfree casual, the mighty elyc6 0nset, spaces how v, pendulu hv moda, etc etc... these stand up with their best material. So I probably just need another 15 years or so with NTS.

Please tell us you listened to the whole thing

Lol yeah, I know, I know. I just wish they'd put a bit more quality control on it sometimes

Ae WAP rmx pls

The next Drift should be all instrumentals tho. Just sayin.
