  1. acdwn2 is my top track. I get a vague nostalgic vibe from it for some reason. Maybe it reminds me of music from more obscure SNES titles. Also makes me think of dashing thru a tropical rain forest.

    finally warming up to this track... it seemed way rigid and too concise at first, but then it starts to splinter and fray like some gleaming, spidery coil -- badass flexing and shedding/chipping off harmonic shards, a burred cable or metallic weave - loosening and contracting. or some bullshit steampunk metal sculpture, or clock. it also seems like a track that might appeal to the casual/unconditioned listeners looking for more straight/identifiable, 'easy' autechre

  2. yeah, one of the better books i've read in a while. been checking out short stories by Gary Lutz, "Stories in the Worst Way" -- he's a fuckin nut.. ridiculously-constructed sentences, weird, "pretentious" wordage, and funny ideas. It's ok

  3.  

    thanks, we were all wondering about that.

     

    This thread is about opinions on elseq regardless your personal particular interests. Everybody have posted their opinions and feelings on the release and I am no exception and there is no reason I should be. Should you need more explanation of how public forums work, feel free to ask me. You are welcome.

     

    opinions, thoughts, and feelings are all valid (even useful) - it's just that when people post inane (arguably useless) information, like, "I'm gonna purchase this, or I'm gonna do that" -- information that doesn't really have any bearing outside of the internal thought process... there's no real use for it. "Gimme something I can use, etc."

     

    edit: nevermind, it's all food

  4. beating a dead horse, but i'll often pick up on things in music that I otherwise am not receptive to (listening intently), while engaged in other activities. Driving is a good example, as it can be very relaxing -- it calms the mind (I don't have a car, but used to drive a lot)

     

    nowadays, I cherish opportunities to drive around and listen to music, as it's one of my favorite ways to engage with it.. the act of driving is a release, a sort of mild catharsis (not in stressful situations, obv.), and music is the perfect compliment to it. finally warming up to elyc6 0nset... it's a wonderful thing

  5. The theme song is a straight-up ripoff of Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. It's watchable, but it feels like a total pastiche. There are some genuinely creepy scenes, like Barb in the pool

  6.  

    -the "skipping" bits in 13x0 step will never stop feeling out of place and are a thorn in the side of an otherwise great track

     

    What skipping bits?

     

    the track cuts out briefly at around forty seconds in. and then again at about fifty-three seconds, but it's less 'blemished' sounding the second time.

    Can't WAIT for Fantano's take on elseq.. I wonder what he thinks of elyc6_0nset!!!

  7. I received my cassette from Bull Moose today! It's beautiful <3

    how does it sound?

    CIRKLON3 sounds so lively within the context/sequence of the other tracks, as if it's taken on a new life.

  8. The pound is at a 30 year low but I don't need anymore physical media and trinkets. Maybe I'll play some George Soros games come Friday with digital.

    durR....... i'm an idiot

     

    cheetahT2 is a dope track

  9. gah, i nearly pulled the trigger. waited 20 minutes with the cassette in my 'crate'/checkout. then i saw it'd be upwards of $20, cancelled, and then it was gone.

     

    a google search for the conversion rate (Euro to USD) showed $16.49, though Boomkat's final estimate was like $19.65 (approx.) -- how is it that their estimate is $3 more than the Google result?

  10. CHEETAHT7b is superbly beautiful in my opinion. It gives me a similar feeling to some of the funkier old Boards of Canada tunes.

    it's sounding lush as hell... i must've barely listened to the SC version because i don't recall all of these little details. i was feeling lukewarm on the Cheetah ep (laCK of 'freshness' or whatever), but the two tracks revealed in the last day are stoking some anticipation. sounding like some proper chill-ass AFX, delightful

  11. if the graphics were actually interesting/nice to look at, i'd consider purchasing something that featured them, but, shit. Quaristice (color scheme etc.) shirts would be a lot nicer.

  12. anybody get a slight Drane2 kind of vibe from foldfree casual? they share a similar tone of reflection/beauty, though Drane2 feels a bit more like a lament
