    To me the 2022 sets are peak Autechre, they sound both more complete and accessible than the other released live works. I have been going through them the past few days without it starting to feel like a chore. Currently giving Helsinki a listen, after Milan will be the only one missing. Athens was a wild beast, the ending especially is beautiful in this one.

    I'll give Athens a whirl next, thanks

    (and, so far having heard London B, Turin, and Milan, I'd echo your sentiments about the general sounds being more complete and accessible than onesix. Absolutely, things feel both more fleshed out and structured in ways that could more easily appeal to open minded people who hadn't heard the likes of Ae before or prefer a bit more cohesive, I guess would be the word. This mirrors how SIGN and PLUS are easier for some than elseq and NTS Sessions were.)

    Instabought as a principle. But. IDK, didn't connect with any of those and past Ae_Lives. What I hear is a lot of warbling,

    noodling at the bottom of a filter buried swamp.

    Enlighten me. I really want to like this. I will continue with London B because of praise ^^

    You also didn't like Quaristice for a good while, so give it time, Wurstwasser. You'll either get there in time or you won't, it's okay. Is there any live Autechre you like, from any tour?

    Return of some Oversteps era sounds around the half hour mark, or am I thinking of something from Exai? Fuck, can't remember

    I'd be really remiss (and just plain incorrect) to call any of this conventional but I am enjoying very much the section of this that might be called an Autechrean hybrid of industrial, techno, dub, and trap, there's something evoking a robotic duck I'm enjoying a lot, not its quack but its gait

    Listening to Turin and just as I was thinking "There are few surprises in new Autechre these days, not that it's a remotely negative thing since I love this vibe/sound", I got a surprise around 12 minutes or so in with some stop-then-start type action. The continuity from Quaristice through to and including AE_LIVE_2022 is palpable. This in turn seems to cast Chiastic Slide through to and including Untitlted in another continuity. For the moment, it seems equally likely ae will continue from where they are sonically or this may be the send off to the current chapter in their discography. Around 18:50something and past that, there is a good deal of  percussion I'm really digging the vibe and feels fairly different from that which proceeded it even in the context of the set, an elaboration of a sort I wasn't totally anticipating.
