This was great and I thought I should mention: TemeTape 2 is out now! (needs a new thread in its own right, perhaps I shall make one) Simo Cell with Low Jack and Peverelist, I ordered a copy, looking forward to hearing it when it gets here

Tim Baker - Audio Implant (1999) RIP Tim https://mixmag.net/read/detroit-techno-house-dj-tim-baker-elephanthaus-died-news Donald Byrd - Places and Spaces (1975) Some people called this him selling out but really, it's a classic of the intersection of jazz, funk, and disco... not much other disco on Blue Note Records, I tell you what Deeeeeeeeeetroit

Yesterday was bandcamp Friday (maybe the last ever :O) So I preordered the new Loraine James CD, Reflection. I also bought the following: DAWN - Redemption (which is like R&B/dancepop with almost all production handled by Machinedrum, doing some footworklike beats), RP Boo - I'll Tell You What, Jurg Frey & Radu Malfatti - II, Keith Rowe & Sachiko M - contact, and last but not least, Taku Unami & Takahiro Kawaguchi - Teatro Assente

Preordered the digitals of this album yesterday. I'm pretty excited for it, I must say. Also have a Teklife bucket hat and snapback on their way in the mail over to me (I already have the shirt along with a Teklife shirt that's in both English and Japanese) as well as a t-shirt of the classic hexagonal design which I got as a gift for one of my best friends for her birthday

https://k-t-a.bandcamp.com/album/metamorphosis First LP from one of Toronto's finest DJs though with a somewhat different style from what she often had done with live performances. She just signed with URBNET Nonetheless, this is some really cool stuff combining influences of jazz, 90s hip hop, house, ambient, some very familiar sounds but with some very nice contemporary sound design to it, too. Trippy, dreamy, slightly squiggly at times, sharper, duller. The lyrics... are not a highlight for me, at least the English ones I can make out. The Korean ones, might be a different story, but I don't speak Korean. Only two tracks are (just a teensy bit) over three minutes. The whole thing is only like 28 and a half minutes. She was going to open for Squarepusher in Toronto (maybe elsewhere, too) and I hope that if the concert that was postponed due to COVID-19 ends up being rescheduled, she still gets to do that. Although the track Into the Future is rather like drill & bass meets balearic, if you're after something more IDMy, you might prefer 2018's Mahogani Forest. Both are worth your time.

Hell fuckin yeah! Hope it's like some of his most recent work because I loved ISS05 and ISS06 not to mention his mix with Simo Cell! Very welcome surprise!

Great news! Will definitely listen to this

Check it out here DJ Polo is one of my favourite UK Funky producers, he started producing sometime in the 2010s and often has a rather distinctive style to his drum programming, it feels a lot more influenced by the likes of samba, kuduro, and other rhythm heavy musical idioms from the likes of Brazil, Angola, and now he continues this with some expanded influence of South African gqom on this new EP with the group Tribal Brothers on the perennially classic Bristol label Livity Sound. Tribal Brothers have been around much longer and I'm a lot less familiar with their music, but between the three of them, this album bangs and really makes me miss going out dancing, I just love this sort of thing to death. Very spare regarding "melody", nice amount of bass, really heavy on the groove.

Love the old school nod with the loon sample in Dark Gethsemane, but the song is longer than it needs to be (often the case with Burial imo). I am enjoying Space Cadet a bunch, and I'll keep my ear out (instead of eye open I guess) for Blackdown

Fair enough

Brian Eno - Music for Airports (had to replace my copy) King Tubby meets Roots Radics - Dangerous Dub (classic of dub reggae) Dave Angel - Tales of the Unexpected (solid full length by a great techno producer) JB3 - Close Grind (one of my favourite techno albums by this legend) And I got these because nostalgia bit me hard: The Locust - The Locust The Locust - Flight of the Wounded Locust The Locust - New Erections The Locust - Safety Second, Body Last Blood Brothers - March On, Electric Children Blood Brothers - This Adultery Is Ripe An Albatross - Blessphemy (Of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear Warp Kumite)

New Soisong is an interesting prospect! Enjoy what I have heard of them, especially the stuff with the synthetic vocalisations

Two super awesome albums from 2010, both with iconic album artwork Actress - Splazsh Jüppala Kääpiö ‎- Sporing Promenade

It's not about having a better idea for sequencing than Sean and Rob, it's about other permutations which are still enjoyable

Well, this thread convinced me and I haven't heard much of the live material from this period. Listened a lot more to AE_LIVE, onesix, the Quaristice and Oversteps livesets and of course the classic Glasgow Arts School set of 2005. So, I'm now listening to Live at Bowery Ballroom on 2001-05-04 [New York City, NY, USA] and have 2001-05-18 - Club Indigo [Oakland, CA, USA] lined up for afterwards. It's really funny to me now that I got into more straight ahead/conventional techno, etc. after and through liking Autechre and other iddumz first instead of the other way around as is the case for I think more of their fanbase?

X4creek: On your first disc, I think I might switch the places of TM1 open and esle 0. ii.pre esc immediately after 7FM ic is a bit of a loss of momentum to my ears. I do quite like sch.mefd 2 into ecol4. marhide right after lux 106 mod feels like it makes a lot of sense. On your second disc, I really like F7 as an opening number, and the flow throughout is great. Find it interesting (but perhaps trivial?) that your first disc is almost a reordering of PLUS alone and the second, almost one for SIGN. si00 into au14 and esc desc into r cazt are particular highlights.

I think yours counts since they're twin albums, but new tracklistings which would feature songs from different albums from different times in their career would be, to use one of my favourite idioms, a whole different kettle of fish. And I think it'd merit its own thread. Alternate tracklist for Chiastic Slide: 1. Cipater 2. Cichli 3. Pule 4. Rettic Ac 5. Hub 6. Recury 7. Calbruc 8. Tewe 9. Nuane Methinks bookending tracks may have a tendency to stay put in this game (largely due to the lads' love of fadeins). Draft 7.30: 1. Xylin Room 2. Surripere 3. IV VV IV VV VIII 4. Tapr 5. V-Proc 6. VL AL 5 7. 6ie.cr 8. Theme of Sudden Roundabout 9. Reniform Puls 10. P:NTIL

I brought up this thought in the dedicAtEd thread for Untilted but I think it is an interesting enough idea generally speaking. Here's the alternate order I came up with for their 2005 offering, Fermium is not removed because I dislike the song but because it feels like the odd one out. This is just my first attempt at this and I don't think I have a better sequence than S and R (fucking love this album the way it is as it is), but it is fun to try rejigger things a bit and see if there are some nice ways of changing the sequencing, just for fun 1. LCC 2. The Trees 3. Augmatic Disport 4. Ipacial Section 5. Iera 6. Pro Radii 7. Sublimit Here's what auxien said about this new order/removing Fermium: "hm, not sure about Fermium on its own, feels naked like that. but it is a little bit of an odd one out on the album perhaps, so i see the case there. random thoughts listening to this tracklisting: LCC as opener and Sublimit as closer is necessary, good work on not trying to fuck with that not sure about The Trees as track 2, feels a little too close in shape to LCC Ipacial into Iera is fucking great Iera into Pro Radii works pretty well Pro Radii into Sublimit works pretty well too overall not as offensive as i'd expected trying to tweak what's pretty close to a perfect album. may see about doing an alternate tracklist of my own"

Not saying I have the perfect alternate order or one better than the lads' own sequencing, just trying to find another order that works decently. And yeah, Fermium does feel like the odd one out in some impossibly hard (for me) to pinpoint way. I think the main trick for fitting together some of it together better might be editing the endings just right. I'm kinda curious about coming up with alternate tracklistings for all their albums now, actually.

My favourite tracks from each album in the order they occur SIGN: -M4 Lema; It's kind of a synopsis of Autechre's career in a single beautiful cut that I believe would still prove more accessible to newcomers than most of their material since Confield) -si00; Some genuinely new territory for the brothers 'chre to my ears -au14; Giving the longtime fans what they want, fanservice in the best way possible plus some new vibes, and I absolutely love it -sch.mefd 2; More fanservice more new sounds. The space and panning on this one is nuuuuts -th red a & r cazt; My favourite of the drone/beatless based pieces on this album even if th red a is clunky in an adorkable sorta way. Enjoyed but the other four really shone more to me, especially si00 and sch.mefd2. I did really enjoy psin AM with the feelings evoking Wolfgang Voigt's Gas and Basic Channel and the like but it felt so out of place. Maybe it should have been the closer? I'm not usually one for EP-ization but if they made an EP of F7, esc desc, Metaz form8, gr4, th red a, and r cazt, it would have made an excellent 34 minute EP. I can see my feelings changing regarding which of these beatless pieces I like most but pretty sure regarding my fave percussive numbers Special shoutouts to F7, esc desc, Metaz form8, gr4, which now join eastre in the Ae drone canon PLUS: -7FM ic; a heavily understated yet highly headnodic slice of Autechre, could really go on longer for my tastes -marhide; Autechre doing some sorta industrial electro, not much you can call it but a loving tribute to the Roland TR-808 -ecol4; daaaaaaankness, in both the sense of a dingy basement and in the sense of some lovely terp heavy ganja -lux106 mod is like a chill beatless number that inhabits a very similar space to 7FM ic -TM1 open is like a highlights reel of the best moments of SIGN and PLUS (not including marhide). It has moments that evoke si00, au14, Dek Dre Scap B, 7FM ic, ecol4 X4 and DekDre Scap B; groovy, beaty, but not quiiiiite at the same heights for me the whole way through. I know X4 seems to be the main favourite around here but it just doesn't grab me as much as it does some of you. I dunno why. ii pre esc really feels like both a sequel or a prequel to esc desc and though I didn't dislike it, it just didn't do quite as much for me. esle 0 likewise makes a fine companion piece to F7. So my favourites of both albums, in the order they appear, long enough to fit a single disc but idk how that'd sound yet is: 1. M4 Lema 2. si00 3. au14 4. sch.mefd 2 5. 7FM ic 6. marhide 7. ecol4 8. lux 106 mod 9. TM1 open

Some of this album coheres rather well but not every song with every adjacent song imo. I think that Fermium should have been removed from the album and released a single, leaving Untitled to have a run time of 1:04:12. Here's an alternate track order for all y'all: 1. LCC 2. The Trees 3. Augmatic Disport 4. Ipacial Section 5. Iera 6. Pro Radii 7. Sublimit (Although the lads are of course a legendary class act in their live performances, the snippet of the Zurich set from 2001 is really out of place and so very very not soundboard quality. To my mind this is at least one instance of a Japanese bonus track detracting from the album.)
