Richie Sombrero 234 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Mine came on Saturday to Northern Ireland, despatched Wednesday I think. Enjoying it, sounds great. Link to post Share on other sites
Soloman Tump 911 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Well I checked my order confirmation email and the small print at the bottom says "For updates about your order visit Your Account, where you can see its status and download an invoice." And I can see/download and invoice but not see any order status details...? Anyway, I'm not angry (yet), it's just bizarre how the rest of Europe seems to have got their copies on or before release day. Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the shipping details would be visible if you chose the tracked delivery option. I received the email a few days ago, but I have not yet received anything - i'm from Italy - and, as in your case, I cannot check the status of the order. The same thing happened with sign and everything was fine Link to post Share on other sites
danshoebridge 167 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Nah I order from bleep a fair bit and you get an 'order has been dispatched' email even with standard shipping. If they've fucked up the UK stock levels or something I can live with a delay but an email update one way or the other would be nice. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

However its a bit shite when I ordered within ten minutes of it being announced, and yet some who ordered it last week have received theirs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FEF 55 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Arrived in Ireland on Saturday. Sign took weeks to arrive, turned out they mistakenly sent it by standard mail instead of tracked (but sent a refund for the difference) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I believe all US shipped out of distro in NC. I got mine on the 20th (in California), so it seems possible that it was shipped out from the US -- despite charging for int'l shipping (unlike with SIGN, which clearly domestic shipping and was charged as such). Not really complaining, but it's a bit weird. Either way, these both got here in a timely manner, which is rare for Bleep IME unless coming from US distro.

danshoebridge 167 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 PLUS does seem to have the famous autechre 'grower' effect in spades… first 2/3 of the album was sounding absolutely banging on the latest listen. I still feel it drops off a bit on those last 3 tracks though, TM1 still isn't doing much for me and the 2 previous tracks sound very much like SIGN outtakes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
jaderpansen 896 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) still stand by my inital impression: solid to great tracks not gelling all that well as an album (whatever that means). sign stays the main attaction. still more than glad to have both. ready for the accompanying live set.

Freak of the week 310 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) sign/plus review in croatian newspaper lol: https://www.jutarnji.hr/kultura/glazba/izmedu-musique-concrete-i-eksperimentalnog-techna-za-setnju-novim-zagrebom-15033498 google translate: "The Manchester duo Autechre began their career in 1987 under the influence of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Kraftwerk to gain the aura of avant-garde techno artists in the 90s; one would also say terrorists given the radicalism of their music. Two weeks apart, the albums “SIGN” and “PLUS” now offer two sides of their aesthetics. The first, conditionally speaking more melodic and ambient. And another, more rhythmic and fragmentary. On "SIGN" they allow you to float and float before being pressed by coarser and harder synthesizer structures, while on "PLUS" they immediately shock you like an ice-cold shower on sun-burned skin. I’m not going to say that Rob Brown and Sean Booth had sadomasochism in mind as they created tapes for “SIGN” and “PLUS” that are instructive to listen to alternately or one after the other to get a complete impression, but they are definitely not easy to listen to. On the contrary, they require engagement and concentration, and I personally find it interesting to walk through the architecture and urbanism of New Zagreb with the Autechre matrices because they are abstract sound sculptures, between musique concrète and experimental techno and algorithmic combinations of rhythms and melodic intrusions. The enigma is how Autechre managed to survive with such music, and "SIGN", close to the Top 40 best-selling UK albums, surpasses "PLUS" for my taste."

Boxus 185 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 TM1 is so blunted. the smooth acid bassline, chill melody, spacious atmosphere. it's lovely to hear them making such a fun and lighthearted track that rewards but doesn't necessarily demand deep listening 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Ouroboros 0 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I’m not sure whether others have noticed this, haven’t seen mention of it this far, but PLUS (and to a slightly lesser degree, SIGN) sound really different on vinyl when compared to lossy digital. TM1 and ecol4 have a huge dynamic range on vinyl and the layered-ness of it all really shines through. Interestingly to my ears however, spotify and headphones sounds busier and more frenetic. It’s fascinating - neither one edges it as such - the difference almost make them feel like different tracks...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
