Incredible album, easy contender for album of the year, plenty of great beats and diverse themes mixed with ambient vibes
Very rewarding listen that’s also easy to get into immediately, and production quality is amazing!

I just listened to it twice after attempting multiple times to revisit it with failure but I'm so glad I actually went through it this time because oh my god I forgot how good this album really is I love basically every track on it
I think the moment that sticks out the most to me is the second half of syro u473t8+e. I like the first half quite a bit but when it goes quieter and the melody changes my entire body gets chills. Might be one of my favorite Aphex Twin moments ever actually I don't know exactly.
Yes there's enough great melodies on that track to make an album-- it's like he had another amazing album ready to go and decided to weave it all into this one track

My vinyl ltd edition has the large black info sticker directly on the back side of the foil sleeve itself, at the bottom, as well as upside down-
Anyone else?
-
Yes certain sounds don’t need high bitrates to be reproduced, these are pretty clear and uncluttered tones on this release, there’s no fuzzed-out multi-guitar solos or anything
Detecting mild compression in the hi-hats and snares of a drum machine is not exactly jarring for an artist who rarely uses normal drum sounds anyway

Will not listen until I get the real thing, 96kbps is too low to bother!
It sounds more like 192kbps, it's well encoded with joint stereo and noticeable artifacts are rare
-
To anyone scared to listen to the 96 kbps, it sounds great, and I have plenty of OCD about sound
At worst it sounds like you're hearing it on a very clear fm radio station, it's not like a live video from someone's phone
Maybe I'm crazy but these tracks have a richer sound at 96 than the hangable auto bulb cd at full quality
It isn't perfect but who cares, just break it in now and we'll have the hq versions soon enough, just like the soundcloud dump
Trust me you'll thank yourself later-- is anyone regretting hearing them at this quality? I'm so glad I did
listening to them in 96kb/s now wont satisfy my masochism like waiting an extra month to listen to a .flac of music that i already purchased will
Yes I have that delayed gratification mentality as well most of the time, but just saying the sound quality is pretty great

so strange: I'm listening to "all end" on my earphones right now for the first time and the underlying melody that fascinated me yesterday (while playing the whole thing on my speakers) is gone. totally gone. not a trace. it's just not there. now i'm curious if I'll be able to hear it later at home.
I feel like all 4 sessions are better on speakers, tracks I thought I didn’t like were transformed for the better

Not sure why people think ae would retire suddenly like that. I mean, having read through some of the AAA questions and a few interviews circa Elseq and Exai era, I feel like they've said stuff indicating that they would be doing this even if they weren't getting paid for it, and that they can't imagine doing anything else. It doesn't sound like they had any expectation if it ending any time soon.
The only other reason I could think why they would stop is they're bored of it, or out of ideas. If NTS isn't evidence to the contrary then I don't know what is.
I still think "all end" could be a nod to "be all end all" considering it's a 60 min ambient track filling up an entire record
-
could also refer to the "be all end all"
-
not that anything else they make is any different, but this DEMANDS to be listened to on high quality headphones.
Or top quality speakers loudly
-
noticing so much more detail in this one after switching to large speakers from headphones
-
I definitely hear Oversteps in that track. Been a while since I last listened to it tho so I can't pinpoint which track it reminds me, its a dream-like experience
less castles ladies and knights, more happy outer space tour of the future
bit oversteppy, non?
handednew parameters
pt2ph8 and krYlon.... i think
Speaking of which I’ve been hearing some St Epreo in EO
-
Just imagine if BOC threw in a late October release...
It would be harvest season...
-
Hopefully Autechre has inspired him to release a 24 LP boxset of all unheard material
-
I would guess they're pretty serious about this release as the vinyl edition is almost 5 pounds of vinyl
Elseq wasn't on CD or vinyl, the singles comp wasn't on vinyl
They're always super respectful of fans, if they only considered these some "extended jams" I doubt they would turn it into such a mega boxset
In a way it seems like they're emphasizing this album more than anything they've done before

Minimal drop shadow exercise or somethingSo the lines between AE and 01/02/etc for each cover just mimic the leftmost edge of the numbers
Hard to explain but if you look at the 3 you can see how it matches up
I couldn't figure out why 04 had one line and 01 had 2 lines, now it makes a weird sense
Haha yeah I first started deciphering with Morse code but only was coming up with i.a.s.t.
-
-
The line between AE and 02 is split this time on the artwork
-
FYI if you start the stream now it starts from the beginning (not sure if someone mentioned this already)
Correction - on my phone it started from the beginning but laptop it starts wherever it is

there's a little black bar, could be 100
That was my first thought as well but I guess it's probably a slash?
But weird that they would bother with a slash for a 2nd line so not sure

Just bought KORG 1B and I was charged and can't download...WTF??? The page just greys out and shows 4 blinking dots and no download. keep retrying with no luck.
It should work eventually I downloaded the whole Korg album about 30 minutes ago without any issues

Which ones?There's new ccai2 trax that aren't listed as new btw. Easy to miss
The ones that weren't on it when it came out

I was also going to say that, for instance mesolithic jungle was almost as if there was a lost drum+bass track from SAW1
