  1. peterson's reaction reminds me of the ancient Sumerian epic poem called "if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen"
  2. Nothing really new there though. Regarding length, the way Autechre uses "EP" has never really had any relation to how the majority of the recording industry uses it. Subrange EP is what almost 60 minutes? A lot of other artists would release that as an album and be done with it. Then again lots of Autechre EPs were split across two 12"s with different catalog numbers and alternate album art, with an album length CD release. Anvil Vapre, almost 36 minutes. EP7, almost 70 minutes counting the hidden track not on vinyl. Not sure if this is sort of a "hey, we have our album out, our EP is a collection of alternate explorations of those ideas that stand on their own" or it could just be an IDM convention.. Aphex Twin's done this too Then again there's also their mail order EP either We R Are Why and Wap88, Autechre's remixes of Gescom, so you can add two more eps there to the list. Maybe it's about feels and trying to logick this will end in a failure lol.
  3. well on the bright side this got me to listen to dublin 2018, so 2 years later I can join the previous enthusiastic posts in this thread as this is gorgeous stuff
  4. Really looking forward to this one and even though I already have the originals on wax, I'll definitely get the represses as they have a whole new album of material on them and so far it sounds good. Between this and the coil reissues I'm set for happy turntable times
  5. Nice bass sound. It's all right. Maybe not quite the second coming the bleep hype makes it out to be for $17 USD plus shipping (The youtube auto play went to Coil, Love's Secret Domain after this track and I was reminded just how crazy their production was back in 1990-1991)
  6. Only halfway through. So far: If Sign was their Oversteps/LP 5 side, Plus feels like a return to their EP7 side.
  7. I ordered halfway through the show and still received my download. Had to fully refresh the site but it was there
  8. I had a hunch and bought the album halfway through the stream. Just got my downloads. Gotta say, releasing the album right after the stream was really classy. Nice one ?
  9. This album is gonna be perfect for late night walks in my locked down post apocalyptic increasingly sketchy neighborhood
  10. This one is kind of reminiscent of Boards of Canada High Scores territory. Nice.
  11. I like peak AE abstraction, but this lushness with recognizable chord progressions and shit is pretty sweet actually
  12. I refuse to read the chat. Just gonna sit here and enjoy my bubble water beats
  13. Anyway, FSOL has always been good about this stuff as you can just pick it up on their website later
  14. I don't know honestly either. The last time I tried to figure this out was when the Brian Eno/Kevin Shields RSD release went out two years ago. I called almost every record shop in town (and there's quite a few here). Most of them told me that had no idea what they were getting until they got it and had to go digging. Half a day later, one of the smallest shops in the city got back to me, they had received one copy, of course by the time they called me it had sold to someone else. Since then, I don't have the time or energy to bother with RSD
  15. Nice, going to take a listen. Some of my local shops have spread out RSD over the fall. I wish RSD didn't have to be so hyped and weird, and suppliers could just let us and shops know what releases they were getting, because I'd pick up the 12" locally if it were available
  16. Can't wait for the fake pre-release "rip"!
  17. Kicking myself for not picking this up on wax when 7.1 and 7.2 were sitting in the used bin for cheap a year ago.
  18. I don't know! Other than the arcola ep last year there hasn't been much in a while, and the wording on the page is kinda vague..
  19. Replying to this necrothread (rather than starting my own) because preorders are up for the 12" again on their website (not on bandcamp tho). I just nabbed mine. Oh, they also just released a compilation album called Lost Fragments https://dreamcatalogue.com/store/product/2814-lost-fragments/
  20. Nice. I honesty think Plaid is at their strongest when making short, focused releases. All the EPs of theirs I have are solid.
  21. Liking this one enough that I might even pick it up on wax when local shops finally stock it--which I haven't done with Plaid in a while
  22. Sounds fine. Back in the 90s when I pulled out any of this music people reacted to it like it was pointless noise from another planet, so I'm glad to see he is not taking it easy. I'll figure out how much I like it after a few more listens
