  1. Hah, i did the same thing and feel the same way. That's the reason I began to make music...not that my music is any good as Ae but I'm listening them cause thy can do it better (for now :-p). Oversteps is not on my Top 3 Ae list but they were honest whit it, didn't try to amaze us and i respect that. There's a million producers out there that just show off with a 'million events per second' music but nothing stands behind their music, no soul - no brain, nothing...and it's forgettable. High tech, high pro but forgettable. Ae is one of a few that differs. I can hear THEM, a thou them everything else, visible and invisible...cause their music is veracious. This is the only thing that matters to me and I know they'll deliver. So I don't expect any particular sound palette or style from Exai. For me it's enough it exist.
  2. What about Tetris? No? Amber art work is the only one that i like tDR did for Ae. Next time employ Rutterford, please. He's so much better. Who knows why they didn't ask for him...maybe he leaks easily.
  3. @ryanmcallister Well said...Spot on!
  4. At this moment I have to many other situations where postponement of pleasure is required...so no. No way! Not me, not for him! But it's not for him. It's for me, Bubba... :)
  5. I don't really agree much in many things with Israelis lately but there's some logic in what eugene is saying...
  6. Rules and rules and I'm fine with this one (Who ask me if I am, I know), but if i can find the leak i'm gonna dl it and listen to it and still i'm gonna buy the cd AND vinyl...and T-shirt...and poster...and I'll go to the live...and everything else...E___v_e_ry___t_______h_i____n__g
  7. Since tDR's The Day One till release is 6 mnts...! This anticipation is totally counterproductive!!! Although i love Ae soooo much I'm afraid it's gonna break my will...won't endure...I am afraid, Dave...my mind is going...I can feel it...I can feel it... :(
  8. I'll try. ...i'm so ashamed. Don't like being a smart ass. Let's say that the thing you're liking about the track (the same thing we all do, i guess) is the reason of track's existence...hence that reason is equal to will of track's creator and we can cognise their thoughts and feelings directly. It's just power of music. Here will = energy. Now, that kinetic energy lays on gradient, movement from low energy stage (sole lame loop in the first part) to higher one (the great last part) and that's the switch you're talking about. I just think that the energy wouldn't be lost if that first part wasn't that ugly cause they could compensate the lost of momentum which could happened with 'better' (???) 'nicer' loop by more developing that gorgeous last part we all love. I think they're capable to do that. Who else if not Ae...? They've done it before and I'm expecting more every time...mea culpa.
  9. But it's a track, a separated body by it self, part of the album that's part of their opus...that's part of their life...right? Sean said once that every single sample of kick has it's own life and emotions that evokes... ok, well let us know when you've written the screenplay for the life story arc of spl9, because what you've written above doesn't quite cut the mustard. nobody is gonna greenlight that script. except maybe Pitchfork. It's hard to be objective but I'm trying, i really do.

  11. It's not easy to write philosophical thoughts in non-native language so I hope you'll have an understanding...;) I thought for a bit and now I realize that when I said there's something wrong about the track I guess I thought about discrepancy between the will behind the track and its execution. I understand the will but the result sounds as insufficient, as semi-product and that's not what I'm used to with Autechre. The tonal palette is calling Quaristice on my mind but directly transformed into a live act ... live act that could be expected in this period, although we did not hear such. I don't know, the track is not sufficiently developed, and it's in conflict. Under the conflict here I primarily think of canceling/suppression in releasing of kinetic-energy as creative pan-image of intellectual achievement of the will, and they are capable of full realization of this energy and as the evidence I'm calling Untitled album and the track from Quristice LA.08.08.2008 live recording that begins at about 21st min. Why would they hold on them selfs? A few twists and it could be a masterpiece! Percussive sounds and their syntax are almost copies of Quaristice / VER / .ep era but the refinement is not even close (that's obvious even with this low quality). So what's the only thing this track has over the other, what's new? The only thing new is that intellectual-kinetic momentum, energy, almost beethovenian (this is the rarest thing in the art world in general, and the most valuable in the music in which can only manifest as pure). What bothers me is the assumption that other things need to be suppressed so this energy can be apparent. I do not agree with that and especially Autechre don't have to hold on to that, what this track is called into a question. Yes, maybe i just think too much.;)
  12. If rest of the album turn out like this and if this is what they have been doing for the last 3 yrs I'll be very disappointed. Just listening ts1a, OverMoves, and Q and there's a lot more going on in every single track... A LOT MORE. OMG ts1a! Usually I can smell the genius of Ae instantly even if i don't like a track at first but not that much here. It sound like Ae but something wrong. Maybe it's me...
  13. That snare is def from some of Quristice-Var tracks like 90101-51-6. The klinglikng-glingl jingle-bells sound is like left paned & fast tape delayed or just repeated sound form the beginning of Etchogon-S. Both sounds are just transposed a bit.
  14. That pad is really great changing the track completely but the rest of it is kind of stupid...does nothing, goes nowhere, repeating that pretty lame loop. But yes, it sounds like it's a part of their recent live stuff...not one of the best ones. Maybe i'll like it in five yrs for now:)
  15. What's challenging in this allegedly Ae's tack? Any other of their tracks is more challenging then this one.
  16. If you take a cross section of all the work theyve put out, i'd say it is much more consistent quality-wise than Aphex's output. methink this justifies our excitement despite any previews or text +1
  17. Nice to hear but i have nothing similar...if you ask about that. Every track I make is quite different from the last one. (maybe that's the reason i've made 30 tracks in the last 5 yrs) I apologize for the off-topic.
