    Autechre - Oversteps (WARP210) [The MegaThread]

    in Autechre

    Oh God they've reviewed the promo, meaning it's real. Oh God I feel sick, I've not had anything to eat, but it's the promo, it's terrible. Just the thought of see on see being a highlight, rather than a pretty interim track before the epic Treale. Which isn't epic or mind blowing I have to say. It's poo. see on see being so direct and crystal clear with a memorable melody I want to hear again and again, and most of the rest being convulated, forgettable, primitive, aimless and meandering.

     

    I WILL NOT BELIEVE UNTIL I HAVE THE CD

     

    But I am already crying inside.

     

     

    excuse me sir, but your personal opinion seems to be wrong.

     

    but honestly, I used the word "meandering" to describe the new autechre to a friend the first time i heard it - but that's not the case anymore, I couldn't bring myself to accept that autechre would ever release something sub par, and after a few more listens it proved true. It's actually quite "next level" the whole tone and pace of the album is definitely something different - but it's VERY very good. Trust me. Keep listening - if it doesn't sound good, You're doing it wrong.

    In conclusion;

     

    At first you will fucking hate, I mean hate this album.

     

    Then, for some weird reason, you will very quickly feel the urge to re-visit it again, and again, and again until you enjoy it.

     

    You will eventually love, I mean fucking love this album.

     

    And, not in the sort of 'you dont get it' Draft/Confield vein either.

     

    And... I'm not joking.

     

     

     

    the "oversteps effect"

    It happened to me.

    the one track i really dont get so far is "r ess." maybe the space and background noodling will be more interesting at better quality, dunno. ive heard that quite a few people really like it...would love to hear why.

     

     

    It's got that off centered head nodding beat likened to Quaristice layered with the cosmic groans likened to Confield.

    it's definitely got some moments where it shines - but over all I was just expecting something with a lot more differentiation between tracks - it's been my experience that each time a new AE album comes out it always floors me with how unique, consistent, and interesting it is - Oversteps (assuming this IS oversteps) seems to be variations on themes autechre have already covered musically - which is what led me to believe it was a fake at first, now i'm not so sure. Either way, it's good, but not NEW AUTECHRE good. I still prefer Quaristice to this so far, but I liked quaristice when it first came out.

    Dear Jesus,

     

     

    I know we don't talk much anymore, and I know I've said some bad things about you - but just this once if you could do me this small favor and inspire some divine spirit to allow this album to leak like - now, preferably, then I will break up with my dark lord and master kramdar.
