[party pooper alarm] i guess musically it's better than most of their post 2k output (which isn't saying much) but i still just can not get over the emo vocals from that disgusting bacon lord they hired after minakakis: running board and calculating were the shits back in the day as well as live but tbh to me it's all downhill from there (incl. the ep with patton and that awkward aphex cover...). kinda sad career when its culmination after 20 odd years is re-reaching 43% (pun intended) of the intensity of your fucking debut and even that only in places... good riddance :P. [/party pooper alarm]

and now for something completely different: 1981 - the GDR - "Hier ist FORMEL 1!" combining nwobhm with berlin-german street lyrics. it works. kek:

woah! \m/

chimer is pretty hilarous imo.

i kinda wanted to refrain from this cos it's kinda just too obvious / cliché but fuck me elseq 5 is giving me serious tron (82 ofc) vibes, especially spaces... i remember how the monolithic / blank / dark nature of the "sky" inside the computer conveyed this curious combination of endless vastness and claustrophobia at the same time which freaked the shit out of me as a kid, this is what elseq made me feel all over again. pant-shitting alien beauty! ps: ready for soundboards now, kthx!

they didn't name any specific track afaik but i think they used it to make some hi hat sound something... sorry i really can't remember details or in which interview they mentioned this... AAA even, maybe?

yeah huh this isn't half bad, weird, i know a roommate of mine used to be into them big time but somehow i filed it under "japanese metal core" haha... fellow norsk i see :O. those guitars be insane yo, singing kinda mixed bag... well anyway u mean we right back on track bruh! tech thrash = best thrash! oops, i guess that was inconsiderate, sincere apologies to fellow homo metalheads! it's not even negatively connotated term in my head, more like synonym to "cheese", which obviously can be totally awesome depending on mood (hence the "atm")... i mean dang i just wanked all over the dead can dance appreciation thread, doesn't get more gh emo than that right?

thread in dire need for more christian tech-thrash? say no more: believer, so fancy they'll make you one! sounds like videogame music to me (not a bad thing!!)... maybe tad toooo ghey for my me (atm) but u obvs gots lots of talent! kudos1

they stated using max first on tri rep iirc

LOL

u missed out on watchtower D:

i feel you, like, totally. personally been living under a rock musically for quite some years now and can't say i feel like missing out at all. we're at a point of total cultural oversaturation fo sho. (that pretty hate machine reissue does look sexy, tho...)

:(

haha, lovely how he nonchalantly walks away "so that's that"...

yeah i can see that working but it's not just a loudness thing... e.g. the soundbards from that era (art school, pontins) sound alot fuller and warmer to me ironically (down to individual drum sounds, some being the exact same as on the album) and they're probably the best aspect about untilted to me in hindsight, listened the shit out of those. i thought maybe the vinyls would get things fixed but they're maybe even worse... dunno :I oh yeah, iera = bestest. followed by ipacial and augmatic. judged only by formal criteria those are some of the best shit they've ever done fo sho. as well the sparky d remix part of sublimit (which tbqh goes a bit too much down the standard "idm" path after that...)

beats 10/10 elektrons 5/10 production 2/10 i remember this album was a bit of a letdown after draft for me. with a bit more lively sound design and lusher / louder pads it'd be top tier but the way it is it's comparatively low on my list. sometimes i got tracks stuck in my head and listen to the record to realize it actually sounds better in my head than on record, which is the exact opposite with pretty much every other autechre release. the artwork is pretty cool, the colors appropriately match the atmosphere of the music. fermium is the worst autechre track to appear on an album. i still love it, but i'm much happier with where they're now (AE_LIVE, elsew, liveonesix).

completely agree! like i said i'm a total noob but that makes it all the more satisfying when things finally get goin, specially cos these aren't puzzles you can just trial n error your way through, it has to be within you first and that's a most beautiful feeling indeed! i made my intentions true and managed to solve "signal edge detector" in actually quite a short time recently, funny what an off-time and a fresh mind suddenly can do. it didnt even seem very hard this time although a year ago or so i just couldn't get behind it for the life of me and instead skipped right to "sequence reverser" and "signal multiplyer" which i did manage, so now i finally unlocked those graphic puzzles! the first was rather simple but now i'm stuck again lol... optimizing is out of the question atm, totally happy if i get stuff done at all XP... shenzhen is supposed to be easier, a reason for critique from some hardcore zachtronic-heads apparently... but i guess that'll make it even more up my messy little ally :P

OK, this one is really special to me: once upon a time, a dark time in hindsight, when i turned into my 20s, i ... apostazied from the metal. yes, i felt i had outgrown its goofy antics, reading adorno n shit was much cooler... needless to say i had become a complete dickhead! then after approximately 5 years of deaf-, dumb- and blindness and several desperate tries a close friend finally managed to drag me back into the light of badass rock n roll musics and it was all thanks to one track from this beautiful, beautiful canadian prog-metal outfit called *drum roll* SACRED BLADE unfortunately that very über-hit he showed me ("IC eyes") is nowhere to be found on the tubes, it only made it on a couple of demos, which i hereby urge you to track down (not hard)... anyway, the sole album they released (under that monicker) doesn't fall behind much either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egkuTgtMH1o one fav-fav: i totally adore the powerful yet unagitated vocals, very unique. in that regard to me they feel like the spiritual successors of the style praying mantis established on "captured city", which i linked earlier in this very thread. in 2004 they changed their name to othyrworld and rerecorded the debut with some tracks from demos thrown in for good measure. that version naturally has a somewhat "better" (not clinical tho!) sound and is worth checking out for the additional tracks alone! unfortunately their mastermind jeff "the pilot" ulmer passed away due to a stroke in 2013... RIP brother and thank you for getting me back on track, this time for good! *pumps fist* ...some cherries on the cake: rather early live vids. material not quite as proggy yet, still worthwhile (if for rarity alone) documents:

oooh you remind me i'm stuck at 9 programs after about 11 hours of gameplay since half a year XP... should really try to get back into it, does a really great job at making you feel like a genius when you finally see those numbers flow, especially when you're actually borderline dyscalculiac like me XP... absolutely beautiful game (including demure visual aesthetics)! ... wasn't the first segment like literally just mov-ing numbers straight to outlets, tho? planning to gift my humble self its spiritual successor for christmas: http://www.zachtronics.com/shenzhen-io/

fuck, those cards are some beautiful knickknacks alright... but far to expensive to be sent out as actual postcards, so kinda doomed to end up as dust catchers in some corner... argl, nope, gonna pass on these, one has to draw the line/circle/square somewhere... regarding elseq: still beyond reproach of course.

woah, they're back? *googles leaks* meanwhile:

LOL

well um um yeah you know what after the berlin show i married and moved in with sam! ace bloke, not fraid to talk feels, manages the household as thoroughly as his beats. in fact he's sitting right next to me now rendering them soundboards!
