Now thats a trailer. It doesnt tell you fuck all about the story apart from that its in space and its scary as hell.
-
Purposefully not watching the new trailer if its full of spoilers. I really hate this culture of giving away so much before you see a movie, it seems a very prevalent practice in movies (especially hollywood) these days. I know people like to know a bit about a movie before they fork out to see it, and I know generally that hollywood movie plots don't like to test audiences too much, but come on...
....its getting pretty extreme know.
Its almost like the "alien in 30 seconds" youtube movies that seem popular. Full plot and storyline laid out ready to go!

I have read recently that this film will be given a full 18/ rated R certificate.
Thanks Jesus! *High fives*

Another amazin' amazon:-
Having heard Autechre on previous ambient compilations albums, I thought I knew what I was buying. However, with Confield I was sorely disappointed. If you can imagine the sound of a million ants scurrying about their nest and amplify this a million-fold, you're almost getting the intensely repetitive sound that exemplifies Confield. There is barely any melodic composition to this album and it is no more than an exercise in drumbeats, aural pain and listener endurance. The album quite possibly encapsulates the sounds experienced by a paranoid schizophrenic's appreciation of cocaine-fuelled monkeys playing a giant drumset. Mince.flolgasms

felt-ch asked: Hello David, I was wondering what your "blood" consists of. Do you have a synthetic liquid cooling compound pumping around your body, or how do you work?
I use a micro-pressurized hydraulic actuator system along with frictionless joints to achieve maximum reflexive mobility. I have thousands of small fans distributed in specified locations throughout my body that allow the heat to exit through my synthetic skin in the same manner that my human counterpart would exude body heat.
Fishing to see if he has acid for blood!
LOL at the "your hammer would break" comment
If this isnt official, someone is spending an awful lot of time coming up with pretty robust answers so far
-
David now has a tumblr, ask him stuff
(dont know if official, but some of the answers so far are fairly cool)

Love the David infomercial. It's looking like my favorite aspect of the movie so far.
Has anyone discussed the possibility that...
David will interface w/ the alien lifeforms and the resulting offspring will become the bio-mechanical giger styled aliens that are eventually encountered in the original film series? It seems like a possibility in keeping with the xenomorph's tradition of taking on the characteristics of it's host.
I think that would be a very fascinating revelation, should it turn out to be true.
Nice idea, I think that
He possibly has acid for blood?? I still cant figure out how the whole Alien Queen / Facehugger cycle comes about that

Aliens. They mostly come out at night.

Fireproof windscreen? Why is that a headline design feature?
*omg spoilz plot*

I am disappoint.

Alcofribas, I have not read your review in a good long while and it has brightened my day up again already!
r ess - pretty cool. more of an intro than a song. i think "r ess" means either "res," viz resonance, or maybe RS like, i dunoo, maybe some one's initials or like "Rob Sombie" or something.ilanders- first autechre song with electric guitar. starts off slow, like just plucking around, you know like noodling or whatever. but then a wicked ae beat comes in, really tight compressed kicked with like really fast drum rolls all over the place. also the first ae track with vocals. as far as i can tell these are the lyrics:
using energy we create this recording
if you are sound of mind
you won't mind
our sick pads and their sense of forboding
(that las line might be "sons of fur-coating?" but wtf is that??
known(1) - literally the best song. reminds me of LUDD, kinda dumb but like brilliant at the same time. sick beats/ambient stuff.
pt2ph8 - i think the title refers to peer-to-peer gaming or something (is that even a thing?). anyway, this starts off very cinematic, lush orchestral swells, dark heavily reverbed brass looming in the periphery. then it conveys perfectly the following: you're in a nightmare, but it's a cube, but it's the house you grew up in. it's so weird b/c you know your way around perfectly but it feels like you're getting to the different rooms a lot faster than it should take. so: are the hallways smaller? or are you bigger/faster? fucking does your head in the way they do this.
qplay - kinda shite
see on see - made entirely of samples of water this piece is ambient but a bunch of times a big break beat just randomly comes in, like totally un-quantized and makes me think they didn't even know it was happening or something. pretty mental, the samples of the ocean are totally manipulated beyond recognition so it basically sounds just like the bass line in "vose in."
Treale - by this time i was pretty wasted so i feel like my observations might not be as objective. by the time this track comes on the album has already been playing for 65 minutes. so, you're kinda sick of it. this track sounds really gay, like, in a gay way: there's this 909 beat with a cute little whistling moog sound over the top (think snoop dog's first record) and a vocal sample that's saying either "dicks, eat 'em" or "this is IDM." i dunno, the voice sounds kinda like my ex so i skipped this one.
os veix3 - completed wasted by this point. i tried to turn this one up b/c it's really ambient but accidentally pressed the buzzer for my doorbell thus letting my mates in. they were like, "hey, is this the new ae?" and i was like, "dude, i don't even fucking know anymore." they told me this track was mega turbo ambient and i have no reason to doubt them.
O=0 - obviously a pisstake b/c this one is just 15" of silence (cf the title, lol @ ae)
d-sho qub - this one had me loling hardcore. the title is a play on the phrase "fo-sho, cuz" which is slang for "for sure, cousin," or basically, "yeah, dude." it sounds like they're using a korg ms-20 through a boss dd6 and then sampling that with an ensoniq eps with customized parameters and then filtering this through a korg wavestation? i think i also hear cs80, ems synthi100, and some buchla oscillators in there. it starts off really fucking creepy. like, creepy as fuck. like, i left my house at this point.
st epreo - depressing tune. a remix of "maetl" although at first it sounds like a remix of "silverside." really dark pads hover over a coffin-heavy bass line (probably a roland super jupiter). the beat sounds like it's composed entirely of samples from coltrane/rashid "interstellar space," although my mate pointed out that i was so fucked by this point that i had actually put on interstellar space but forgot and thought it was still oversteps.
redfall - via email i was told this was from a scrapped soundtrack for "redwall" but who knows. anyway, this sounds A LOT like the first track on incunabula. actually, my mate said i was at this point listening to incunabula. the song is lush, ambient synth strings with nice soft attacks. they sound metallic but gentle and soothing. leads into "bike" which totally surprised me. i was like "bike? on oversteps?" and i mean like the actual song, not a remix. mental.
krYlon - mental drill n bass thingy.
Yuop - the entire album, played in reverse, sped up X100, through a ring modular and buffer override. surprisingly the best tune.
8/10

There are some great Amazon reviews out there.
Confield:
This review is from: Confield (Audio CD)

Yet again Autechre disappoint with their latest album, a total mess and painful for anyone looking for harmony and melodies in their music taste.
If Autechre just stuck a random beep command into a loop with random parameters, I'm sure some of the pretentious fan base would still come on here stating that 'this album is so deep', good grief.

Been getting into HP Lovecraft recently. Currently reading his 'The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories' which I got from the local library.
Short stories which are chilling and atmospheric. Proper horror stuff. I highly recommend it.
I bought a couple of Cthulhu Mythos books a few years back in a sale, but I could never really get into them. Maybe I should give them another chance.
Currently reading Moebius' "The Incal" which I should have done years ago, its great.

Audiogalaxy was amazing. Cant believe it stayed open for so long!
-

sat in my conservatory star gazing with a bottle of single malt. My dog is on his mat licking his balls. I cant see him because i turned the lights off, but i can bloody well hear him. True story bro

I think this disenchantment comes from this (my) generation's realization that all the promises of the future (flying cars, etc.) by the turn of the century are in reality probably decades, if not a whole generation off, if ever.
-
I have been thinking about the david is a robot deal, and i reckon the crew know he is a robot from day one. Looking at the timeline thing on the weyland website, it is only later generations that can seamlessly integrate and be indistinguishable... Such as ash in alien.

I keep forgetting that this movie is meant to be in 3D. Myself and 2 mates have already decided that we are driving to the Imax in Birmingham to see this. Proper road trip material.
This is pretty cool.
