My gf came to low>autechre in the auditorium. She's generally not an electronica listener so I was stoked to hear what she'd think. The only reference point she had was the theme music to Playdeads's Inside game, wheich she introduced me to the week before. As soon as I heard that I said "omg you'll love autechre - just imagine that game's universe when listening". She also doesn't do drugs
Result: she totally tripped out on it, staring at the soft reflections of mobile phones on the ceiling, imaging the game
For me it was the most autechre yet of their sets - AE_LIVE_2015 were amazing with drops and definite threads, AE_LIVE_18 was a lot more organic with fewer solid hooks and this is definitely further along thta trajectory.. very little regular melodies, beats. Nothing to hang onto..super organic and blobby. LOVE IT..
Mind you as I re-listen Im sure the hooks will emerge.
