springymajig 2 Posted September 8 Autechre are always pushing my mental capacity for understanding and appreciating music. Whenever they release a new album, the previous one suddenly makes a lot more sense and seems less "difficult". So in the last year I've really enjoyed Elseq a lot more, while about half of NTS seems a bit impenetrable to me (and the other half is already my favourite Autechre material ever). It's really funny to think back when I thought Exai was a mammoth, ultra challenging listen, now it seems pretty easy going 😛 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's possibly my all-time least favourite autechre track. I just cannot get on with it all. It even ruins some of the later AE live sets for me. I'm not gonna try to change your mind. Different tastes/opinions, etc.... for different folks. =P I do think it's a little.... head tilting.... that it's your least favorite AE track (really? Out of EVERYTHING?), but <shrug> whatchoogonnado? I will say that it took a bit to grow on me - I feel it fits right in with the atmosphere of elseq as a whole. But I'll also say that I don't think it fits very well with the AE_Live material. 18 hours ago, darreichungsform said: you are a passionate man!

Freak of the week 41 Posted September 8 elseq 1 is my fav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roo 14 Posted September 8 (edited) c16 deep tread has always been my fave, find it very cathartic. Given it featured fairly prominently on LIVE '15, it might have been overlooked on release by some for feeling more played out or less exotic. mesh is the only one I don't really care for (still find it indulgent) Edited September 8 by Roo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes me feel connected to all the other drivers somehow, like we're all embarking on some grand mission, moving forward in unison and weaving smoothly between lanes, towards the sunset. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
President Squidward 42 Posted November 19 I listened to the first part of elseq and was kinda bored. Sucks too since I love Ae and I really love Exai. Other parts gotta have a track I love right? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

President Squidward 42 Posted November 21 Good news is I enjoyed the noisier elseq 2. Even if elyc6 0nset felt a bit too long for me (I’ll get used to it since this was my first ever like Autechre song since Drane2), it sounded pretty cool and makes me think of what live albums would probably be like. 😛 chimer 1-5-1 is my favorite track thus far in the elseq series. I get a kick out of the beat and all the synth touches. The best makes me think of Digging Remedy-era Plaid, as if it were a collab. XD c7b2 does what elyc6 does, but I prefer it since i love the rhythm to it. Kicks some ass. Look forward to seeing what the next 3 do for me once I get everything else on my todo list cleared up a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tnvm 22 Posted Tuesday at 11:06 PM (edited) I usually don't care all that much about track sequencing, but the progression of elseq is really interesting and evocative. like a journey into the huge central control rooms or engine rooms of some sci fi world (elseq 2 and 3). and then out to the sparse borderlands (elseq 5).

jules 106 Posted Wednesday at 12:05 AM They have always been masterful at pacing. They put together an album so expertly. And their long-form stuff like elseq and NTS only exemplify how genius and detail-oriented they are at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
