what drugs do you think were ingested during the making of this album? (besides ample THC)

[Hugh Mughnus]

Hopefully a healthy does of phethylamines or tryptamines...

Flep is a piece of shit man, dude elbowed me hard while i was walking around in LA.

[sweepstakes]

Man I love all the implied melodies. Fucking juicy. I get all these things stuck in my head that aren't really there.

[syd syside]

This could become my favorite AE, but it feels dumb to say that so soon / or at all. No real need to rank them as they all serve different moods/atmospheres to a degree. But yeah this one right out of the gate has been immensely satisfying and overwhelming. There are moments where I can't believe what I am hearing exists.

Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

Man it's gonna suck so bad when I get sick of this album and have to come down and start listening to other music. Oh well. Enjoy it while it lasts!

[awepittance]

funny story: as much as i like Exai, there is no way in hell this is the best autechre album. Far from it, but still very enjoyable to listen to

[sweepstakes]

What's really funny to me is how skeptical I was of this in the beginning and now I'm loving the shit out of it. It's still pretty early to tell but this could be the exact opposite of Oversteps.

[Candiru]

Like others are saying, it's the second half that really won me over. And there's lots to pick out on repeat listens. After the last couple albums, I basically forgot that a new Ae album is supposed to be difficult to wrap your head around on the first listen, as much as I like Oversteppah, MoT. This one is a shiny new present with gadgets and bells n whistles.

[Guest vodor]

obviously confield and draft and ep7 are better but it's pointless to even go there ;)

 

exai is fucking sick.

[jules]

I'd take this over draft and cornfield. then again, I'd take untilted over those two also.

Listened for the first time at work today. First impression: "that's a lot of nasty FM, and agressing HPing".

 

Second impression: "God damn this album is funky!"

 

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, as I haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone else thought that this sounds more like Gescom than Autechre?

agreed with all of that. i mentioned the Gescom feel in Flep in particular. i'd have excused the existence of nodezsh and runrepik if they were on a Gescom album. ;)

[CharlesWatkins]

i heard it

 

it sounds a lot like richard devine imo

[Hugh Mughnus]

lol

[awepittance]

i'm getting very much the same vibe from it, that an phonecia. which is strange because with AE and those guys it's always been the other way around

[syd syside]

this album.....

 

 

[Guest bitroast]

it's such an evocative, visual album. psychedelic is an accurate description.

i can almost imagine it having 70's style prog art as opposed to some black and grey squares.

 

 

eg.

What time is it where you are? 730PM for me. I tend to mix some psychadelics with the mushrooms so I prefer to have my session around 2 in the afternoon.

 

Saturday fun-day!
