Guest dangulberry Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I've only listened through twice, but it's what I expected, I guess: a collection of jams, far looser than the concise 'proper' album. It gives you an insight into the editing that went into the final version. Lots of overlap between tracks (especially the 2nd half of chenc9 and perlence) which is testament to the liveness of this album. Highlights for me are Plyphon, which has another beaty section in it than the original; Sonde re ix (whatever) is great, a familiar but different set of sounds; Fol4 is 11mins long, and I might prefer this version to the album one - looser though, less obvious structure - was played during the 11 hr session recently; 90101-60-blah blah is great - completely different to the album version, 4 on the floor beats, less hard, no acid line in sight; Nofour is 'nice' - a good ending to the album. On the whole, I see this as interesting but not as satisfying as a whole as the album proper (it's not meant to be, I know). What I'm left with is a sense of how they put the album together, and it's fairly impressive how well they've arranged the tracks in the final version (the original perlence begins with the synth line that the earlier (I presume) version ends with. The performance gets to that synth line and fades away.) You can really see how they gave the tracks a more cohesive structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest silver Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 listened 4 times... and it's bloody good. Sounds more like a new ae album than the normal edition, due to the longer tracks. It's got that weird ae feeling in bucketloads. Definate warehouse atmosphere too. I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have pulled something like releasing each disc as the same 'Quaristice' in stores so everyone got confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dNET Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The second disk is what the standard version should have been. These versions are much better... especially Phylopn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest derekgray Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I just... um... llllllegally obtained a copy of this second disc, but all my files are named wrong. Horribly wrong. The IO version is named Phylopn, for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatorin Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 So what is going to come from this? Can we be satisfied with listening to the Quaristice versions without the extended jams? I think I'm definitely able to consider the two parts as different entities. Anyway, the bonus disk is more for the individual tracks, while the album is more for the flow, in my opinion.

Guest dangulberry Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The tracks are named wrong on the 2nd disc. They've typed in 'range 3' as a separate track, and got rid of Altychre. So the track names start being right again at Tankakren. The FLAC rip on piratebay has the same problem as the CD. At least it proves authenticity ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Clitterhaus Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Only seems to be flacs around for this second disc I can't put flacs on my Walkman, wonder when some mp3's will emerge - still haven't heard this yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Why don't you just convert the flacs to mp3s then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Clitterhaus Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I will, its just a bit of a pain in the ass having to wait for a 350Mb file to download, then go to the bother of compressing it. I was kinda waiting for an mp3 to materialise but it aint happening so i'll get the flac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, the upload on that FLAC was choked all night, but it's "out there" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Clitterhaus Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The dream is finally a reality. What does it say on disc 2? Quaristice (Version)? Good music, its like going through the deleted scenes. The end of IO (mons) has to be the weirdest shit I've heard from them in many a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
