Really? Some racist shit you said a long time ago "still makes you chuckle"? How old are you now?

Nice, good call, totally overlooked bine! Parhelic triangle is also a contender. everything pre-quaristice has really specific emotions and memories attached for me tho so I sorta breezed over those. (p1p2 and the creepier NTS tracks were my starting point)

Bump - This was the only specifically Halloween related thread lol and I didn't wanna start a whole new thread just for this, but here's a Halloween Ae playlist I put together. I'm a bit late on this since the day is nearly over, but thought something like this might interest some of you fellow fanslutz - I'm curious to hear what other tracks you might add that give you a "halloween" (i.e. generally creepy/spooky) vibe! Japan bonus tracks really get to shine here. This mix is only Quaristice-onward and I didn't dig into remixes, tho I think the Anodyne rmx could probably fit in here somewhere too. 1. Xektses sql 2. xflood 3. turbile epic casual, stpl idle 4. frane casual 5. SonDEre-ix 6. Nu-Nr6d 7. shimripl air 8. shimripl casual 9. pce freeze 2.8i 10. rale 11. peal MA 12. spTh 13. p1p2 14. mirrage 15. acid mwan idle 16. Perlence Suns 17. 9013-2 18. Oneum ?

Went looking for the most appropriate topic to bump to express my love for AEC MERLIN The hyper-detailed programming, those lush processed hi-hats underneath the glitchy beat, the woozy detuned BOCish synths (bit of an Iced Cooly vibe for me), the off kilter beat, angular bassline and strange harmonies... Everything is so delicate but so lively, and just abrasive enough to give it a bit of an edge. Just an incredibly masterful track. This whole album feels almost obsessively meticulous, like you can really hear the effort that went into it (typical of IDM at the time and is something I really valued in music back then as well), it's amazing that he said at the time that it would be his last - It does seem like it was his last in this particular style tho. Anyway, today is a day to celebrate AEC Merlin, bright and sunny fall day, will be going out for a walk down a Bilious Path somewhere

Procrastinating dealing with something important so I had time to do this . This order works pretty well, at least in terms of transitions from one track's ending to the next track's beginning (I haven't sat and listened thru the full 2hr+17m to see if it balances out in terms of listening fatigue etc yet) but I think this is pretty decent: 1. 444 2. Piezo 3. Clipper 4. Splesh 5. Pen Expers 6. Augmatic Disport 7. Surripere 8. Cep puiqMX 9. Pir 10. Corc 11. M4 Lema 12. Foldfree Casual 13. Cloudline 14. Cichli 15. Qplay 16. Ecol4 17. Paralel Suns

Second Toughest is a masterpiece. Drift was ok, some pretty strong tracks in there. A lot of the tracks would have been better without Karl, sorry Karl I remember reading somewhere that Rick rejected Karl's original vocals for Listen to Their No and asked him to write something else. One of the best tracks of the lot. Maybe if they did that more often the outcomes would be better lol

the 1991 thread got me thinking about these Family car trips and such, good times

444 Piezo Clipper Cichli Corc Pir Pen Expers Surripere Augmatic Disport Paralel Suns Qplay Cep PuiqMX Cloudline Foldfree Casual Splesh M4 Lema Ecol4 Not really sure if this would work as an actual playlist lol (probably with some juggling)... Just tried to pick a desert island track from each, tho it's pretty much impossible with NTS. I included EP7, Move of Ten and PLUS because to me they are albums.

Geez lol how times have changed since the bull wallet days

I dunno if it's just me not knowing how to use the features, but I've never been able to quote a post in an edit. Like if I've just posted something and realize I forgot to quote someone, I can't add their quote to the post in edit mode. If I select the quote it always starts a new post box instead of the one I'm editing. Happens with MultiQuote too. Is there a workaround for this that I'm just not aware of or is it something that needs fixin?

And yes I for one am eager to hear the full 17 minute version of this track

From interviews and AAA etc we now know that everything we hear from them is usually already a couple years old by the time it's released innit? Between that and the fact they've invested years into building the System (and surely we've only heard a fraction of what it's capable of, or even of what they've made with it so far) I see no reason to suspect they would stop now. Unless the pandemic got them down? I know the past 2 years have made plenty of us question why bother going on with anything. But they're not melodramatic types, and the work they do is plenty well suited for lockdown lifestyle, so actually I would imagine they probably had more time than ever to work on stuff. Not sure where they're at with family life and stuff cause I guess that can get in the way too. But if nothing else we know the live set exists and is surely going to be magnificent. Archival jam recordings, new live set, new tracks developed over this last couple of years... But yeah I think the only reason people wonder "will they quit?" is because you can ask that about any artist at any time... there's no indication I can see that they would tho. And even if they do, there's a ton of unheard stuff we would hopefully get to hear. Or they can just turn on the System and leave it running and let it play forever. They're not the types to look at what they've done and say, "Well, we probably can't top that". SIGN has this grandiosity that might have people thinking that way, but I doubt Ron & Steve see it like that, because they're always looking ahead and always creating.

Wanna hear the new live set plyz

Just a lil bump to see if a fix for this has emerged

Zoomers are just worse millennials

Or maybe "Chri$tian" was intentional?
