I thank you! I'm going to listen in full again and write a comprehensive review. I'm really looking forward to the reviews on this, and more so an interview.
-
Fuck that, you guys were totally impatient and it was an embarrassment to be associated with such frenetic fanboyism.
-
I plan on listening to this a third time before I go to bed tonight
-
LOL. When did you *start* listening to Autechre? I can't believe you don't get how fucking face ripping rad this beast of an album is
-
I'm not really getting all these pretty melodies either. But I'm totally okay with that.
-
there's plenty at traditional hiphop tempo however.Not the same though. Not sure what you were expecting. This is hiphop psychedelia from the year 3789. A hip hop beat/rhythm... if people say it has hip hop beats and it doesn't then I'm quite disappointed in that, plus the sound design of XI isn't that great on half of its tracks either... LOL, good luck bro.

3849, what's your favorite album then?
-
Autechre's discography should read: - Confield - Draft - Exai with everything between Draft and Exai being necessary experiments to arrive at the gloriousness that is Exai.
-
Its not in the mp3 (which in my opinion sound WAY better than the 24bit wavs somehow)
-
I'm pretty sure listening to this just made me grow some chromosomes and begin to see shapes that never existed before.
-
"recks on" How bout when it drops out around the 4min mark?!? Geez. So good.
-
this kicks the shit out of everything dude.
-
I cant even begin to explain how fucking RAD this is on the second listen. It's like I was so jarred by everything the first go around, I wasnt paying attention. Holy fucking christ this so good.
-
Exai. Equal parts brutal and beautiful since 2013™
-
Second listen. Got to spl9, ripped off face. FUCKING MASTERPIECE. So good in fact, if they said this was their last album (which I dont think it will be), I would totally be okay with that. The reverb wash at ~3:20.
-
Me too but I don't even know what they can say about this. They fucking did it. They totally redeemed themselves after Oversteps. I was sure they were heading off a cliff. i dunno, i think this flows pretty naturally from oversteps and especially MoT. I really feel like they're just becoming more and more psychedelic. I mean we always knew they had that potential (the often quoted use of mushrooms during the creation of Chiastic), but their psychedelic tendencies were usually bound within a fairly controlled formal structure. That was one thing that made them such a pleasure to listen to, the tension between the tight formalism and the melodies and bizarre sounds. I think that formalism has mostly exploded now, though. What we're left with is a lot of odd juxtapositions, random wtf moments, and some very interesting sonic experiments. Or we'll see, maybe I'll feel more form emerge from the music over time. Hey lumpenprol - how many times have you listened to Exai so far? I totally agree with you that they feel more psychedelic than ever, but on second listen this feels less jammy and noodly, seemingly more deliberate (formal) with each listen. Just curious, but yeah... Done true feels.
-
"nodezsh" could not have existed without Oversteps.
-
C'mon Awepittance... wake up and join the party! I can not WAIT to hear what you think about this. (especially after the second listen).
-
The end of "11 is".
-
I have no expectation they'll ever see this, but Sean Booth and Rob Brown, thank you.
-
I cant wait to see the definitive reviews on this. Wire, et al. Even pitchfuckingfork. I also REALLY hope an interview comes out for this.
-
Too soon for me to say honestly. The first parts of cd1 seemed brutal for me.
-
First listen: - The mix sounds weird, but I can see this growing on me. - This is an acceptable release in their canon. - Disc 2 is better than Disc 1. - Disc 2 alone would have been a phenomenal release. Second listen: - Very possibly the best album they have ever done and I'm only back on Disc 1 again.
-
Yeah, the white noise went away on the MP3 version. The mix also feels much more balanced and open
