[awepittance]

it's probably saying 'fuck the system' because as has already been stated here autechre are 'left wing nut cases' and frankly anyone who is against the system is a nutcase period

also, i'm obsessed with deco Loc for no discernible reason other than the fact that it makes me feel weird.

Sean Booth continues his 20 year run of looking like he's on the verge of mugging somebody.

LOL, yeah - "I'll fukkin' cut you, ya daft cunt"

The Wire's review of Exai is up.

 

Matthew Ingram reviews, shame they didn't get another writer to do it (Derek Walmsley or Philip Sherbourne, perhaps)...

Philip would have been great. One of the best in the biz right now.

 

does he do reviews in the Wire anymore? I haven't noticed one of his in a while, but im probably not paying attention

He's got a regular feature gig covering electronic music for Spin, so they're might be a contract or something.

[entropi]

alright....do post articles from mags, but no tracks, ok?

[spptrl alt del]

prac-f reminds me of altered carbon, right off the bat

Amazing Wire "review". One out of four columns dedicated to the new album.

[Guest 21B]

Anyway I most agree with his review, also the turning away from the hyper formalist early 2000's stuff to something more MORE.

 

I think that stuff is more interesting than Exai, though, I include Oversteps as one of those. Exai feels more like the brainless fun and audio porn side of ae. The structures and compositions of tracks like LCC, Uviol, Pen Expers, ilanders, os veix3, maphive, tewe and numerous others sort of kick the tracks on Exai's ass. Exai still has cool compositions, but it's different somehow. Maybe a tad less original, at least on the ae scale, should there be one. I must say there's nothing wrong with that, I still really like it. It's pretty crazy, but it feels to me more obvious maybe. I may have chosen all the keywords incorrectly here, it's hard to describe.

 

Edit: Oh and, I like the sounds and atmosphere of certain tracks the best of all aspects on the album.

Fuck that guy. Confield is better than all musique concrete ever existed. Anyway it's absurd to call out Ae by still praising that lab's stuff, the creator of which, Pierre Schaeffer, publicly said near death that he wasted his whole life searching for anything outside the seven notes. There's nothing there, he said. It was one of the most powerful existential statements of the century in music.

So I'm going to get higher than I've been in at least 3 months tonight and take a walk in the snowy woods at night and listen to Exai. Might be fun, might be terrifying, might be both. Will certainly be dark as all hell. I'm so psyched.

 

My version of tripping on psychedelics since I can't even think about handling mush or cid anymore.

so the voice in deco Loc is saying "Fuck the System"? Sounds like it to me...

No, it was saying "This is IDM" or "Dick's, Eat em" but I can't tell which

shit I thought it said something about a bowl of crisps in your eyes

[lumpenprol]

I wasn't being glib though, doesn't it sound like "system...system...fuk....system"?

 

I'll get my hat.

 

and yeah bad Wire review is bad. Funny how much his dislike of ae shines through.

 

and very good post coax, I agree this is like the audio porn side of ae. I think I've already burned out on it. But it was certainly fun.

[gl0tch]

So that guy didnt even really get into reviewing Exai until like the 11th of 15 paragraphs, and then he said dubstep.

 

Seriously, fuck that guy.

Say it to my face, ya bish

 

[digit]

that wire reviewer just wanted to talk about himself, drop obscure barely related references, and show everyone how clever he thinks he is.

 

yeah, but what about the ALBUM, man?

 

 

dude should go write for pitchfork.
