  1. Sorry probably wasn't too clear there - I've got a nord lead A1 but even if I had a G2 I suspect recreating live autechre stuff would be way above my skill level.

    Had been holding out for the 'full' version, but if the G2 side of this isn't coming I'll just get listening to your elektron version. The 2008 live sets are absolute bangers.

    Yes I was jus about to say.

    Can we not just make rips for each other and then contribute the money back to ZF as a form of donation.

    I missed out on all this and I'm gutted.

    I picked up a few from here recently...

    postage was pretty reasonable...to the UK anyway.

    Spent the last week down a Zoviet France rabbit hole after first picking up Mohnomishe.  Assault and Mirage and Eostre also sounding amazing (can't really get my head round Loh Land though.)

  3. The crash in the Labour vote has been predicted ever since Corbyn got in. Maybe it will occur at the next GE but who would make any firm predictions in the current climate.

    I've no time for the current Lib Dem leader, she's played everything 100% strategically wrong since taking over IMO. Am I going to vote Lib Dem? Abso-fucking-lutely because they've got the best chance of beating the Tories in my constituency. If it was Labour I'd vote for them, if it was the Monster Raving Looney party, same.

    Everyone sitting on their hands during the GE after watching this shit show unfold might be feeling a bit awkward 1 year into a Johnson-led CON-BXP government. Convincing yourself all politicians are the same may start to ring a bit hollow at that point.

  4.  ^ Agreed.
    The vast majority of the politicians have failed us, for various reasons.
    Left just as bad as the right.
    Rabid pro-labour folks on here will be spitting feathers at that, but take a step back and look at the party you support from a neutral point of view.  Absolute shambles, same as the Tory's.
     
     
    Enlightened centrism aside, maybe take a step back yourself and ask one question... Do you think the UK would be in a similar mess if Labour had been in power the last few years?

    I'm not 'rabidly pro-Labour' as such but I do despair of the 'everyone's the same' mentality, it's also part of what led to Trump over in the States.
  5. I've got to be missing something with c7b2 because I've heard quite a few people rate it.

    I think it's possibly my all-time least favourite autechre track. I just cannot get on with it all. It even ruins some of the later AE live sets for me.

  6. Hmm I suppose for me it's the difference in approach - whereas autechre are all about taking these weird sounds and techniques and folding them into something more resembling a 'complete' song, for a lot of the academic musicians the process seems to be an end in itself.

     

    There's a bit on the Xenakis track that sounds kind of similar to the sample slicing interludes on Chiastic Slide. I love those little track joins but wouldn't be remotely interested in an album that just consisted of nothing but disjointed experiments like that.

     

     

     

     

  7. First spin and I'm liking this one a lot. Definite step up from digging remedy I reckon, I'd put it up there with reachy prints for later-era plaid.

     

    As others have mentioned, production on this is absolutely top notch, can't wait to play it on some decent speakers.

    lol fuck guess i have to divorce my wife so i can focus on these properly

    Fixed
    I literally already did that tho

     

    my GF left me 1.5 years ago. i think she knew this was coming.

    I'm out on my honeymoon - when I mentioned to my wife autechre had just released 20hrs of live sets she did not look amused...
  9. Well decided to pick up 4 so I can actually get my head round them - Denver and Portland at either end of the tour, Montreal for it's ae associations and Miami because WHY NOT.

     

    1st one was full price but remaining 3 discounted to $1. Had another look after buying and it seems any subsequent ones I fancy picking up are discounted as well.

  10. Anyone managed to get this to work yet?

     

    Always fun to get some new ae but i'm a bit gutted it's still ALL 2015 stuff. 28 versions of the same set may be pushing even my ae enthsiasm a bit far.

  11. Mine arrived a tiny bit curvy but doesn't seem to affect play. Halfway through NTS1 and it sounds very well pressed, t1a1 sounded immense.

     

    To be honest CD / digital probably makes more sense for a release like this (especially NTS4) but damn if it's not satisfying dropping the needle on l3 ctrl and blasting it out.
