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!

oh... it works for me, dunno, first time uploading on watmm... maybe authorization pending?

whoomp there it is: http://forum.watmm.com/files/file/1775-ae-onesix-berlin191116flac/ do whatever you like with it, all this stuff is soon to be made redundant by soundboards anyway (or so i dearly hope at least). quite content with the result, except the squiggly middle part which is somewhat fubar i'm afraid. with this version i also resumed the original dynamics, the mp3 was a bit overlimited. _____ as more familiarization sets in the appreciation for this set only grows. i know my initial impression was it doesn't quite have the teleological flow of AE_LIVE, which was overall more funky and "theme driven" so transitions had a tight feeling of urgency... but after a while this one reveals a very own kind of dramaturgy, more about ebbing and flowing and shit... dunno really, anyway: AE TOP OF THEIR GAME! GSÜE!

yeah innit! both Russell and Rob said that the Kraftwerk venue had insane reverb - the gig sounded very thick & dirty in person, the recording is quite faithful... it's clipping (sounds like physically rattling/shaking) in some bass heavy parts but apart from that it is very good imo. This space had a very lush & dark atmosphere, my fav in that regard. glad people can dig it despite the distortion n shit. i agree in that regard it somewhat conveys the atmosphere of the kraftwerk. also the iteration of the live set itself is still among my favs, kinda subjective of course since it was the first i ever heard. :3 i'm busy surgically removing as much of the clipping as i can while retaining the overall tone. will reupload as FLAC asap...

haha, gotta love the singer's purred cliché-homo-"s". musically not too shabby either! speaking of bad artworks... another berlin find: that "heavyroll" is such a nice touch XD ... also completely unrelated news: new krallice announced for winter solstice (21.12.): PRELAPSARIAN! (lol) ... HYP!!1elf

oslo/zagreb/berlin/helsinki on repeat... scratch any doubts i might've insinuated about home listening compatibility. now my only concern is if it'll take em equally long to decide which to soundboard as last time... loving this shit! perfect for zoning in as well as out imo.

while in berlin to see the chre i stumbled across this gem in a cheapo bin: i just checked it out for lols because of the ridiculous artwork and name but turns out: this shit rocks like hell!! super catchy speed metal! the band looks fucking cool, too: muselman metal!

I hate to say it, and I hope I'm wrong, but aside from that insane beat around 30 min or so, I'm not really feeling this. hoping because it's new and impenetrable on the surface. hopefully a soundboard or two would change that. or ya know, come back to New York fellas while helsinki is probably my fav bootleg i heard so far: don't be fooled, these recordings don't do the music justice at all! it might not have the same funky and narrative qualities for home listening as the 14/15 set, it's more of a "sound experience" best served LOUD. they were also playing around with aural illusions completely lost in these documents... anyway just sayn. curious how and if soundboards will work this time, also which ones they'll choose... besides the obvious (organ stabs, 33_crunchybeat) another standout moment would be around 15 min in, those floaty women choir pads with squishy snares on top... mmmh!
