  1. It's pretty nice to read a small retrospective that doesn't just completely gush over Confield for 3 paragraphs, even if it deserves it. I do agree that them skipping so much is bizarre though.

    @Hugh Mughnus Think of it like people having only bandcamp instead of most of us that have a Bleep or autechre.ws account going on. Bandcamp is super easy to use and can get a fair bit of exposure out for those that don't yet know there's something else they could love.

  2. This is actually a really great playlist to give a nice cross-section of their discography. My only real complaint is that there are only two Quaristice (huge shoutouts to rale though, great tune) tracks and one EP7 track, which are two of my favorite releases. That's such a minor gripe though, I'm super happy with every track they did choose.

    Just spoke with Ade — the album is basically done, and will hopefully be coming out this side of 2020. He's eager to get it released so he can get to work on new stuff again.

    Looking forward to seeing the artwork!

    Even if it's as simple as most of his releases. Love the vibe.

    Nawww Oversteps cover is beautiful, reflects the sounds of the album prefectly

    As a cohesive package the art is fantastic. There's a different one for each track, the record sleeves are beautiful, the typeface and format utilized is unique. Everything about the art captures the space the album encompasses.

  5. There isn't much that I feel I need
    A solid soul and the blood I bleed
    But with a little girl, and by my spouse
    I only want a proper house

     

    I really just want a house that I actually want to live in instead of settling on something that is shit, but I can reasonably afford.

    Also I really like hockey goalie gear, but it's incredibly expensive. Just my leg pads cost $1500.

    This was around the time she started eating souls to sustain herself or whatever, and maybe I'm influenced by the ABBA sampling but it's a good track 

     

    This song slaps, dude. The ABBA sample is great and it's built around really well.

  7. I hope one of them at least glances at this thread and grins, then has a good chuckle at how much this subset of people nerds out over their stuff.

    Wore my AELIVENA shirt to work today without knowing about this album's announcement, what a nice coincidence.

    I hope we can at least find out the album title or see the art/tracklisting soon! Anyhow, I think we should do another album art Photoshop thing

    Lol, I've got friends that still call it "Roversteps" because of what I showed them from the Oversteps thread. Also, Flepper.

    Me too. I would do it but on these platforms you have to authenticate with your ID and bank account and stuff, so IOS would have to do that himself. The best platform for that would probably be https://www.gofundme.com/ (also free for US citizens I think).

    To get people to donate maybe some WATMMer with a music YouTube channel could upload the incomplete version without the Nord along with some text in the video explaining the project, how and where to donate etc. I think @xyrofen has that, if I remember correctly. Also here on WATMM a lot of people would probably donate some bucks if they get this live set in return. Don't know on what other platforms you can find a lot of people who like Autechre. If this thing costs 1400€ I think it's probably doable to get 280 people to donate 5€. Just brainstorming.

    I really need new AE lol

    Reporting in to confirm that I do still use/have Youtube, even if I don't upload stuff actively anymore (I was afraid of losing my account like BATldsr and AugZF did).

    Let me know what I can do to help, I'm easy to find on here.

    Not-even-close-to-a-Hot take: all of Autechre’s best album covers are made by non-tDr 

    ep7, Confield, Draft, Untilted 

    chiastic and envane are tDr only high marks (exai is pretty ok too)

    All of those covers are great. Also, Cichlisuite man.

    I'm not suuuuper keen on the NTS Sessions art but I otherwise do like the recent art and love how every cut on Quaristice, Oversteps, and elseq has its own artwork. Wish it were the case for Exai

    I love how much the art conveys it's a collection of material.

    I really love the NTS design. Simple but has some effect.

    It's great with the physical pieces too. All the recent artwork has really popped with the records and CDs, they're so cohesive.
