XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

[Friendly Foil]

Irlite (get hype)

 

All samples are good except jatvee c. It sounds cheesy-as-fuck-incunabula-era'y. I hope that full length track morphs into something better.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

 

From what I heard, that one sounded quite excellent.

Snippets.

Nah, but the 90s are over, and ae shouldn't use 20 year old synths (like 90% modern edm producers now)

[syd syside]

[Amen Lare]

I'm totally not on the cheesy Ae bandwagon, tolerated Oversteps for this reason, but jatevee C sounds like pure gold to me. Someone name-dropped SND, i guess it's the same sort of re-contextualisation.

do you all have collective amnesia right now... there were 30 second samples of the first disc on norman records site, you commented on it extensively awepittance

 

i assumed there were other samples up online, people are talking about is as if they're still listening.

I didn't even listen to them, except tuinorizn, and I'd like to keep it that way.

But I really thought people stopped listening to the snippets, apparently some people can still fap to the same porn over and over again.

I wish I could hear the samples again. Just once.

Waiting for Exai: Hallmark special about an 8-year old orphan coming to terms with the violent death of his extraterrestrial parents, who communicated using QR codes and impenetrable electronic music.

[Friendly Foil]

I'm not sure I get it.

[sweepstakes]

It was funnier in my head. I was trying to riff off the tender wistfulness of your "Just once"

Sorry.

[Friendly Foil]

Don't be sorry.

let's all pretend that it leaked. if we can keep it up long enough they'll think it leaked and release the files SELF FULFILLING PROFITCY

I've given up hope on this coming out before March 4/5. I'm okay with that. That's what they announced, so that's what it'll be I guess..

For me, I'm identifying the frustration lies in my getting used to the model that has driven the past 5-10 years of music releases and seeing that challenged by something seemingly outdated, but yet, correct by the industry standards. Whatever that means.

With that, there HAS been challenges and opportunities on both sides of the debate. Just calling it like I see it, you have on one side people (like me) who come off as self-entitled, wanting what they paid for; because frankly we know it exists and we don't see the sense in prolonging a release due to (what many have successfully shown) is an outdated marketing model. On the otherhand, you have a bunch of equally self-entitled, self-interested elites who claim some position worthy of promotion, taking to twitter and forums bragging about their select opportunity to bask in the company of few early adopters. Fuck them too.

Here's the deal... The whining is annoying, but funny and for some of us, has become a pre-game ritual. On the other hand, the stoicism and nearly Luddite stance on how things need to work, the constant bragging, and the complete and utter LACK of promotion is deplorable. Joyrex, with all due respect, you've done a shit job at promoting Exai. You don't deserve it. Tell me again why you have it? Because you run a fan site? okay. I seem to remember you sat on the Oversteps promo. I wonder if Warp would have gotten you a copy of Exai had they know that.

But whatever, MANY of you don't deserve promos of this, and that's what has enraged some of Autechre's most dire fans, myself included.

We're all hypocrites. I get it. Some just are more self aware or frightenly and on the contrary, unable to question authority on some invented principle that as long as it is upheld, their status quo is maintained.

At this point I've found solace not in the hope that Exai leaks, but in the hope that one day we find out how and why the fuck Warp is keeping this so close to the hip.

Until then, adieu and fuck you!

I didn't listen all of the Norman records samples because it sounded like tin foil. but after I read that last thing about samples, I went to bleep and by exai, it said 17 samples but none came up. I thought I missed something.

Gl0ch's ultimatum

In order to help preserve this for future generations and to aid the blind users of WATMM, please find attached a dramatic reading of this ultimatum. I apologise for the lack of vocal clarity, I ultimately decided to sacrifice sound quality to preserve the emotional weight of this reading.
