    I 100% am with you on this.. the release sounds flat, especially compared to past Autechre releases. If i may put on my audiophile dork hat for a second.. i've listened to this on floor standing KEF speakers and also through Chord Mojo with Ultrasone headphones, i can say for certain this release wasn't mastered in the same way past Autechre releases have been. The sonics of the album are overall flat, nothing jumps out and the highs almost sound clipped. This takes nothing away from the release for me, i love it and still think its their best in years. I just find it interesting that the mastering came out the way it did. why do you think the mastering is to blame for? I'm not necessarily blaming the mastering, if the sounds aren't there in the master recording it's going to be hard for a mastering tech to bring it up to snuff. But the release does not sound like an Autechre release in terms of clarity or dynamic range.

    Not even fucking around.. this shit is easily my favorite Ae release in many years. I think if they released this as two albums back to back a few months apart it would have made a bigger impact as it's easier to digest 2 hours of tracks like these than 4.5 hours of tracks like these.

    I just noticed something.. i bought/downloaded the FLAC files and when playing in most players i only see the main album artwork but when playing in the Fidelia app i'm seeing each track's artwork come up as the track comes on. So the track artwork is embedded into the FLAC file? I didn't realize that was possible.

    It's definitely their most hip-hop and DJ friendly release in many years.

    Yes, esleq 1 definitely is heavy on the hip-hop. The percussion reminds me more of what is used on Gescom releases than Autechre's.

    Downloading FLAC now... hoping there isn't going to be a physical release, that would be wack promoting the digital then releasing vinyl/CD later.

    Fuck this track is tops. Had to pull out the 12" to listen to it on vinyl, thanks for reminding me this existed.

    kiya replied to chim's topic in Aphex Twin

    How hard is going to be to buy the Japanese version on CD? Amazon?
  12. kiya
    it's a war then innit? Wasn't it always?
  13. kiya
    I'm the high bidder on the original 12", fuck yeah.
  14. kiya
    oh shit, it's happening!
  15. kiya
    Right? I don't believe that it's an unplayed 12" for one second.

    "The Caustic Window LP is a legendary unreleased test pressing (only 4 5 known to exist)" Missing the word "or" there in the parenthesis.
  17. kiya
    Yes, very real.

    Hope to hear where they're going next. I feel like Exai was the most fully realized album in years so a follow-up EP should be great. (artwork is by tDR, as expected)
  20. kiya
    No, link?
  21. kiya
    So this hasn't been brought up in any of the 400 pages of talk about Exai besides here? It's obviously straight off John Conway's idea.
  22. kiya
    Has anybody talked about how the artwork is based off John Conway's Game of Life and Life Patterns? It's basically Autechre going even further into the idea of regenerative music, but this time giving the hint that its more human than what they played with in the past.
  23. kiya
    Looks like they did the right thing.
  24. kiya
    OH FUCK YEAH, LET'S DO THIS.

    Just got my vinyl and CD copies from Bleep (i'm in San Francisco). The artwork is amazing and i love the dayglo yellow on the inside of all the sleeves which gets me high when i shove my head into the sleeve and take a few good hard huffs. I feel like the digital/online version of the artwork doesn't come across as being the complete thing, you kinda have to see the transparency of the sleeves in person to understand it. Either way, good shit.
