    cap.iv

    second track sucks. Others are ok. I think the ep is overpraised. Envane, Cichli are worthier imo.
  2. Still haven't listened to the special edition, it's waiting for me back in the States, but as for the retail version of the album, still not feeling it. Props to ae and all that, but it's still not doing much for me.
  3. i need to listen to this! endorsements from People I Trust
  4. pssssh. BoC are definitely up there. Especially after Quaritesticles
  5. meaning big 3 plus the "other guys"
  6. lol, emperor's new clothes. Everybody is fooling themselves into liking it. Tankakern and the last two ambient tracks are pretty good tho'
  7. Excellent interview, they always come across as likeable chaps. Wish I liked Quaristice more though...
  8. yeah, i'm not feeling it yet, it's not bad per se it's just a bit goofy and squelchy, instead of dramatic. After Draft, Untilted, and this, I think I understand Ae's new direction. It's not a "New Direction" in caps like it was in the past - the shift betwen Tri Rep and Chiastic and LP5 and Confield - it's more about them just having fun and getting back to their b-boy roots. There is more humor and just plain goofing about on their last 3 lps than on the rest of their discography combined.
  9. no, the zipping took about ten seconds for me :(
  10. To my surprise the tracks I like most so far are the intro and 2 outro ambient-ish pieces. Beautiful, and reminiscent of the grandeur of vletrmx21. I wish these guys would make a 21st century Amber.
  11. Lol this album is funny. It has probably the deepest, most cavernous production of any ae release, which makes you expect colossal tracks, but all you get is these bite sized little sketches. Edit: WNSN sounds MUCH better in high quality, the micro-details are delicious.
  12. lol, Ae suck now...Fwze is crap
  13. YES. One of my favorite pastimes...
  14. actually that sometimes does work - the manager of my local "Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" gives me big discounts on their food as I'm such a good customer, and I have several hookerfriends who give me free sex... but yeah, Draft is a pretty good album, I just rarely want to listen to it. When I do, it's to marvel at the sound design, not because the music moves me. I "respect" Ae's Confield and post output; I just don't love it that much. I everything from Chiastic through EP7, though. Amber and Incunabula are good too when I'm in the mood. Strangely Tri Rep does little for me, though I like Anvil Vampyre and Garbage. I'll probably be spending $900 to fly back to the States to see them in concert, so I hope that erases my karmic debt.
  15. Only autechres I haven't bought are Draft and Untilted. And I feel no remorse in either case. I have their entire back catalogue, so they've earned plenty from me. If Quaristice is good enough, I'll buy it.
  16. the beginning of WNSN sounds like a mash-up of a bunch of different ae tracks, lol. tending to agree with mosca, but we'll see.
  17. They are two of Autechre's weakest releases? LOL!
  18. I hope they've been storing up melodies since Amber and have chosen this moment to unleash them.
  19. You guys, it's just a repackaging of the tracks from Envane.
  20. the weird thing with her spinning both ways, is once it swiches, it's very hard to see it the first way again. Pissed me off.
  21. Initial impression is it's rather weak. Mine is "signed" as well, but it looks like the signature is printed? I guess that wouldn't make sense though... Christ is hit or miss for me, Pylonesque is still my favorite.
  22. NO! why do people keep thinking that!?? ahhhh! and there is someone else going by that name who makes music?! can i have a link to his site, or myspace, or whatever he has? dupe.
