    Awesome news!! I know lots of people excited for a normal length album but i love the longer form Ae, kinda worried that am going to listen to this wishing every track was 20 mins long! ?  

    I quite like the cover art, but not that keen on the title... but who cares, new Autechre!! Can't wait to hear it  

     

    There is of course potential for the bleepstore to host long form versions of these tracks at a later date.

    I made a stainless steel percussive "thing" that you can see in the picture.

    Jammed out some loops with my Volca Drum and tinkered around with it during the second half of this track and ran it through some pedals.  Fun times! Am thinking I will modify the device a bit to get a better tone, but otherwise not bad for a first attempt.

    I know it’s been said a thousand times, but I still can’t get over the return. Years later and it still pops into my head almost daily and haunts me at random times. And I know I’m not the only one. Truly the defining cinematic work of the last decade. 

    Yes.

    Had a weird flashback the other day of the couple making out on the sofa then BANG scratched to death by visceral banshee creature.

    So many amazing scenes in this series.

    The idea of a 17 year old kid running around unloading an assault rifle on protestors is such a mad premise.  And then when you add in endorsement by the cops... crazy.

    I can't remember the last time I even saw a real gun. 

    (edit... don't think I have ever seen an automatic rifle unless it was being discretely carried by an army soldier on the local air base near here.  Have seen shotguns for game hunting, don't think I have ever seen a real pistol).

    Sorry, but USA is fucking crazy and I cannot even

    I have a pair of these which are essentially Technics 1210 clones (I mean, they even look the same)

    Main benefits over the Technics are +/- 50% pitch control, better torque for start/stop and cheaper (but still £600 each.  I paid for them monthly over 2 years which didn't feel as bad....)

    Whoah ... that’s a *really* expensive matrix mixer.

     

    If you can do without the pins you could design and build this yourself for much less money, I’d imagine.

     

    There are matrix mixers, and Matrix Mixers of course. Some are passive, (noisy as hell) and some are active which gives you a clean blend of signals and phase correction. 

     

    Check this bad boy:

    Covid has come at the right time for our administration, many have taken their eyes off the Brexit ball and its thundering along in the background without us realising (myself included. So many other things to worry about!)

    here's some analysis on resolution and the endless meaning... op is a bit of a dick but there's some pretty interesting comments... obviously spoilers so read it only after watching both movies if you feel like it...

    resolution
    the endless

     

     

     

    I thought Resolution was excellent given the limited budget they had to work with.  The "kinda shaky cam" filming method didn't make it seem amateurish at all, and when you figure out the premise of the movie I guess it makes more sense.

    Some interesting world building going on, looking forward to Endless tonight!

    just rewatched resolution and the endless... made more sense this time cause i watched them basically back to back... really liked both this time... anyway, i couldn't really grasp the meta concepts behind it by myself, had to read some analysis on it... now i wanna watch them again...they have another movie coming out which some people think it's gonna be the 3rd and last installment...

    Thanks for the recommendation, watching Resolution now, and found Endless on Netflix for tomorrow night

    Vlad's got a real talent, I thought the Lyra might have been a one off and that the pulsar23 would just be some mad slavic noise machine suitable only for awful 90s russian industrial bands but I've heard some good stuff from it.

    Pulsar23 is my ultimate GAS lust
