    watmm is seriously sleeping on this. well I cant blame you, i was too. 

    this album really impressed me and been on repeat since two weeks. even his ambients tracks on here are great.

    a moment away from you is such a special track. masterpiece. have that je-ne-sais-quoi in the melodies that is just visceral to me. 

     

    agreed, this album rules front to back.  ^ that track is the one that imo sounds like a Lone+Beltran hybrid.

    2lp still available from the source.  Would be all over it but I cry when I see that the cost to ship it to mexico is as much as the record itself ?

    If anyone still thinks Dems and Reps are the same...

    Local news is reporting that many of the fake, black ballot boxes are in front of churches and priests are encouraging people to use them. 
    Isn’t America supposed to be a democracy? 
    Seriously. How can anyone vote republican (let alone believe them) with a good conscience? 

    Not sure I understand.. why would Republicans place fake boxes in places like OC outside of churches (majority Repub area).. Wouldn´t the strategic move be to place them in Democratic areas (also swing states) in order to hoover up D votes and not deliver them to the real poll counters?  Shitty either way, but also makes no sense

    I can't get that si00 out of my mind. Not that it's a problem, on the contrary, I welcome it willingly; the fact is that too many melodies intertwine, and their mood changes, so when i whistle, muffled by the mask, a mangled combination of cacophony comes out of my mouth. 

    such a cool track.  some choice quotes from the livestream>

    took it for a bus ride the other day; many times it made me go "ah.. thats lush - fuck". loving the fact that it feels like an odd hybrid baby that i still cant define.  sometimes it reminds me of quaristice, other times oversteps.. elements of confield, lp5 even

    agree with some of the comments about many details being somewhat deep in the mix.  for that reason i've been enjoying it more on headphones (maybe also because my headphones are nicer than speaker setup)

    I fully agree.  Why they decided to put that snare in that piece is one of the great autechre mysteries to me.

    because it bangs, and makes the track a full on electro / kraftwerk homage.  four of seven is easily one of my favs from nts :music:

    could def see some breakers throwing down the cardboard when this track comes on

    To be fair I only heard the first 4 trax. They were good though. Maybe it’s less ambient after that. 

    More actually.  But its good :wink:

    Cannot connect to chat, not that i care that much. But it does make me think S&R will pop in, otherwise what's the point?

    the NTS premiers had a chat and they didnt show up.  its mostly just for spam and general woop! comments, kinda like the punters at their live shows

    Can somebody please explain, in a nutshell, what's going on with Richard and conspiracy stories, I only seem to get random fragments of info here on watmm. Has he fallen down the Conspiracy Theorist rabbit hole? 

    nothing is 'going on' per se, just him dropping links and fragments of info in comments every once in a while, ranging from corona-skeptical to a bit nutter (there was a bill gates conspiracy vid that really made me smh..).  but its often been a minor topic in his interviews and such in the past (the noyzelab one mentioned chemtrails iirc?)

    Is it just me or is the tone from the fanboys changing? Like they know he is going to lose, die, or both, and they're mourning those 4 sweet years they enjoyed having a fellow dumbfuck in the oval office?

    the cultish / religious undertones in the way trump addresses his base have increased tenfold since this whole corona episode..

    This probably goes without saying, but has anyone else been busting out Elseq and NTS in anticipation of this release? I have really been digging into them lately, and as per Ae tradition they are revealing themselves to me in new ways on both micro and macro levels. In fact I might even say it has taken me this long to really appreciate Elseq, and I might have only just reached the second layer of understanding of the NTS material. I've barely scratched the surface with onesix. The excitement of the upcoming release has renewed my interest in this recent material - and in this site (longtime sporadic lurker here, newly joined, hello everyone!)

    Being among fellow fans and reading the discourse on the material has helped reconnect with my inner fanboi and get even more hyped about this than I already would have been. Wish I could have been around when the NTS broadcast was happening in real time, but alas my head was in other places at the time and I only found out about it later that year. Now, with this excitement I am just starting to catch up, surely to be thrown off the deep end again with this release.

    I'm pretty consistently one album behind with the deeper appreciation stuff you mention- ie it took oversteps to appreciate the weirder sides of quaristice; elseq to see how focused exai was in comparison. It's a bit scrambled now with so much to digest between live and nts.. but all that material is opening up more with each listen

    I still can't appreciate enough all the energy they have poured into releases/live/dj'ing in the last 10 yrs or so in particular. Insane amount of amazing material

    Yeah, I like their approach to stuff but this one really seems like a half assed april fools item, especially at that price point. I mean good on them trying to have fun with radio, but jeez. They lost it.

    imo the price/marketing make sense compared to, say, apple's speaker offerings, and the fact theyre upselling the design aspect of it, and the high-end audio.  then the 'radio/rewind' feature is just the oddball feature that te always likes to put in.
