  1. One thing I think they do really well on this album compared to Oversteps is having interesting 'B sections' -- not in the sense that every song has a 'Part A - Part B - Part A - Part B' structure, but that they don't let a certain section go on for too long, and when they change it, the change is meaningful and interesting. I thought there were a bunch of changes on Oversteps that just didn't take the track anywhere new or contrast interestingly with the previous section. I can give specifics, but I'll have to listen again. I hope someone will get what I'm trying to say!

    I'm inclined to say that the last part of irlite (@ 8.30) is the most thrilling part of Exai. Brilliant stuff.

    Yes. That track is probably the most dynamic on an album that's already pretty dynamic.

     

    Also the last 15 seconds to me are really beautiful. Reminds me of Ecobondage (Ending). So happy to hear another one of these simple, gorgeous melodies in an Autechre track.

     

    The kicks make me imagine a robotic reincarnation of Rush playing this, with Peart just wailing and Lee and Lifeson headbanging to their synths, just jamming out.

     

     

    hauntingsoul: 10/10, would read again!

  3. The end of T ess xi reminds me of their stereolab remix, with the dripping 4/4 hi-hat sound and the alternating, breath-pump chords (wait, that sounds like 'breast pump' ...) and the way the drums kind of slop and slide around (except the stereolab remix uses the drums from rae):

    2:56ff.



    (edit: one of my favorite of their remixes evarr!)

    What. The. Fuck?!?

     

    Some one man up and grow some balls Some one ruin their trusted relationship with the vendor forever so some impatient kids can wank over beep boop music

     

    If you think for one second that half the people who have heard this at this point have some sort of "trusted relationship" with a random vendor, you're out of your mind.

     

    This has now become Douche Club, nothing more... nothing less.

     

    Is that what you said about the football players who banged your crush?

    Ae = MBV + Heavy D + Sinbad - Sade

     

    Love this! May I use it for my review? :)

    Though I'd include a bit of James Brown in there as well.

     

    lol! as long as you don't credit me, since I have no idea what that is even supposed to mean ... and yet I understand it perfectly.

     

    What. The. Fuck?!?

     

    Some one man up and grow some balls

     

    Do you say that to your mom when she won't drive you to Game Stop?
