  1. I'd like to hear how a version of Cold Earth without the vocal snippets of cartoon characters saying 'gilf' and 'bleurgh' would sound.
  2. It's very common indeed, but that's a pretty funny situation one guy babbling on about made up stuff while the other not listening and just chilling and typing on watmm lol
  3. lol spot on, the eternal wellspring of gonk. NTS full blast on headphones has been a perfect noise cancelling device for reading on airplanes this last week. A protective cocoon of lush gonk shielding my ears from the noise and general nonsense of fellow passengers
  4. That "lacking something" is indeed hard to pin down, yet it's evident everywhere on post Exai material. My theory is that on their older stuff, especially Confield, Untilted & Draft, Sean & Rob were grappling with this unruly monster of pure primal energy of sound they'd created, trying to mold it and keep it from escaping and running loose. And as you mentioned, it's as if now the ideas are let to float around by their own accord more, seemingly with less emphasis on restructuring/editing. Maybe they finally tamed the beast, or perhaps it's quite a peaceful beast now that it's roaming loose. Of course this isn't indicative of every single track since Exai, but seems to be a general direction of their material since.
  5. Man that's a sad story, I feel you. Hope the next lil hog you see is an alive and happy one. When I was a kid and playing with the neighborhood kids one afternoon, we came across a little family of hedgehogs. We were fascinated by them and wanted to take care of them so we made a cozy little nest for them from a cardboard box filled with hay complete with a little opening. After carefully lifting them into their new home, we thought they'd like something to drink so we put a saucer of milk down to them. We then went home for the evening and when we came back to check on our small friends the next day things did not look good. One of the small ones was dead and the others seemed sickly. All sad and disheartened we took them out into the woods and let them go, then buried the dead one in my friend's garden and made a little cross for him. Years later i found out that milk is poisonous for them :/
  6. Not sure about these lps. Kind of feels like buying expensive packaging for a product I basically already have. On the other hand it would help pool money for Shawaddywaddy & Rob van Winkles' future endeavors in buying expensive new music equipment/shoes & drugs, and I would have the whole NTS on sweet lp format, but the way the tracks have been placed, butchered here and there to fit the format? Hmmm.... Should I fall for the marketing or realize that I already have the essence of the thing - the music itself, and be happy with that?
  7. I wonder how the Seinfeld gang would have turned out x amount of years after getting out of jail. Maybe something like the four main characters in A Scanner Darkly

    Yeah :) the setting was great too, kind of more relaxed and party orientated. I remember a girl who'd wandered down from some other scene, gawping at my odd dancing and then started to mimic it xD good times

    I still find it a bit of a mission to get through any one of these sets, I had a total ball of a time there on the beach at Grafenhainichen, and since then I've listened and quite enjoyed them in small bites, but they still seem so impenetrable to me. More so than any of their other output. I dunno, maybe live Autechre is just best live! Though I do hope they will open up to me more with time
  13. Early stuff up to Chiastic are my summer Autechres. Oversteps is long winter walks & misty nights. Exai, Elseq and to some degree Quaristice are probably their most hit and miss albums for me The tri force of Confield, Draft and Untilted is hard to top, NTS is catching up though. Favorites are always in flux, mostly listen to playlists anyway.
  14. Ha, assuming they become more skilled over time, they're most recent output will always be their best

    Wasn't digging this one at first, but grown on me big time, love when that happens
  16. Session 4 is pure perfection. Such a delicate, cohesive collection of tracks. Autechre's nocturnal chill EP. Current picks from the other sesh's t1a1 bqbqbq dummy casual pt2 violvoic e0 clustro casual tt1pd acid mwan idle g 1 e 1 nineFLY shimripl air icari Listening over the last week before sleep it's hypnagogic heaven
  17. And it's not the end, just a tune about crypto currency Allend Coin, right?
  18. Nice one this is excellent, got all nostalgic for Japan. And the picture quality! Lushness in overdrive.
  19. SB: northernplastic : SB: Mancs and they're boilers, I've often wondered whether the KP man Pilkyboys head like a fuckin orange knew the 'chre bois back in the day
  20. There'll be a perfect Autechre album for everyone once all the sessions are released, pick n mix heaven
  21. clustro is like cruise control flying over the streets of cloudline
  22. That would be an amazing accomplishment, especially if they're doing these sections are done in an ad hoc manner. Roll on 5pm
  23. Man that could have gone somewhere but like so many of these...it didn't. The changes are very subtle but too much is just long with no real development. You're doing it wrong, Autechre's music isn't "going anywhere" anymore. It's gotten where it wants to go and is now chilling out some. bocbocboc is a highlight tho, really soothing after a couple of listens. Has potential to open up further down the road, I wanna find more patterns in cute bleepy droplets while bathing in warm pads
