Agreed Obel, you are correct and handsome. You are both completely insane, that's the best track on session 3
-
At this point I think it's very unlikely for it to top the first 3 sessions for me, but only because the first 3 are so damn excellent.
-
I enjoyed this set significantly more on second listen for 2 reasons Not potato quality No longer hampered by my expectation of there being a sick drop at some point.
-
Is it too early to make the best track poll for this session? I feel like this one is much more easily digestible.

You dirty motherfucker, my heart dropped clean out of my ribcage.

to me the only depressing thing about it is that it's probably the least inspired thing they ever released. ever. (sorry, luv u ae :( ) Melve tho? i fucking adore melve and the whole of lp5. it is one if not the fav of mine. the very least you can say about melve, even if you don't dig it, is that it was fresh (as in: not sampled from another track) and it has more than 1 notes (yeah a chord is technically more than one note, bite me). While I wouldn't say that all end has any particular musical variety, there's certainly more than just the one chord. All throughout the track you have a slow, deep, rumbling bassline and higher treble melodies that fizzle in and out of existence right at the fringe of the track. It's certainly more than just one chord, although granted it's not much more than that.

I'm not sure how, but end all is a sickeningly depressing track. It's like the sound of the world ending or something.

all end be all end all be ll end ll be ll end bell-end

yeah that's what i just did in search of that melody ppl were talking about. in vain. I kept hearing this treble melody, very very hard to hear. I wasn't sure if it was actually there, or if my mind was making it up, but it kept popping back into my head so I'm pretty sure it is actually there. Later on I'll try and find a place where you can hear it clearly. So you first get a peek at the melody around 8:20. You can hear it most clearly in the left rear. It's basically a rising pattern of 3 notes that repeats, with a pad-like instrument.

Not sure why people think ae would retire suddenly like that. I mean, having read through some of the AAA questions and a few interviews circa Elseq and Exai era, I feel like they've said stuff indicating that they would be doing this even if they weren't getting paid for it, and that they can't imagine doing anything else. It doesn't sound like they had any expectation if it ending any time soon. The only other reason I could think why they would stop is they're bored of it, or out of ideas. If NTS isn't evidence to the contrary then I don't know what is.

I worry that my fantasy of journeying through all 8 hours of this in one sitting is going to be hampered tremendously by the last hour. Like, I doubt I will want to sit through the whole thing most of the time in the best of situations, much less after the mental exhaustion of 6 prior hours of ae.

On second listen, column thirteen is incredible

Where are you seeing the track list? The store is still blank for me.

I'm appreciative of this session, but I can't see myself wanting to put it on very often.
-
Is this going to be all ambient then I wonder?
-
Uhh, it hasn't started yet this is still icari

Re: first time listens: It's been so long (prior to NTS) that I totally forgot that feeling of listening to new Ae. It's like getting into bed with a woman who turns out to be way kinkier than you thought, and she starts doing some shit that's like really weird, like she sticks a finger in your butt. Now, right then and there you feel violated, wrong. You think maybe this time you've gone too far. But a couple days later you get back in bed with her and you're like alright bring on the finger play. So I guess what I'm saying is, bring on the scat play, boys.

I'm feeling like even though it sprawls way more than elseq, it feels a lot denser with regard to the number of new and interesting ideas per hour. Maybe that's because the two longest tracks on elseq are the least interesting to me though, whereas here the longer tracks are some of the most interesting ones.
-
Idea: set playback speed to 50% and now you have 16 hours of new autechre.
-
So after I got home from work I decided to trek through the 6 hours of NTS. What a trip. The biggest takeaway I have is how fantastically paced and well flowing this feels compared to elseq. Each album has a very distinct ebb and flow. There are noticeable climaxes followed by nice lulls all over the place. The narrative on this one is out of control. Finishing on shimripl air followed by icari after being brutalized by glos ceramic and nineFLY distinctly reminds me of the feeling of psychedelic afterglow you get after coming down from a ridiculously intense trip.

Apologies if this one was already posted:
