tailings Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 You should totally send that along with a resume to Pitchfork. Heck, doesn't even matter whether you want the job; just do it to see if they take the bait. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailings Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just received my CD copy of SIGN. Now, I have been defending the album art on this one from the beginning, but sadly I gotta say the CD packaging really feels a cop out. Clearly the design efforts went into the vinyl packaging and then the CD packaging was thrown together as an afterthought. And it's not just the design that comes off sub par; the quality of the cardstock feels flimsy and built to budget, like getting business cards from Vista Print rather than Moo for example. Oh well, still happy to support the duo with a physical purchase as I do appreciate the physical medium as an archival backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Do you like The Brothers? I've been a big Autechre fan ever since the release of their 2001 album, Confield. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too ambient, too up-front. It was on Confield where Sean Booth's presence became more apparent. I think SIGN was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant Max/MSP patching of Booth and Brown. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of sampling craftsmanship, the sheer generativeness, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the reverb in Metaz form8. In this song, Sean Booth addresses the problems of abusive political authority. M4 Lema is the most moving IDM song of the 2020s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their synthesised drum hits are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Sean Booth's album with Mika Vainio and Kouhei Matsunaga, 3. Telepathics Meh In-Sect Connection, seems to be less commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like Mika And Kouhei And Sean. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Sean works best within the confines of Autechre, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Kouhei And Sean, a great, great song, a personal favorite. 11 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulleonelectron Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Geeked the tracks have warmth as the cover art promised. So far I'm having feelings for M4 Lema & Metaz form8. And sch.mefd 2 is delightful, a perfect blend of fuckery and restraint, and funky as hell, and maybe the coldest thing on the album, and maybe the track I've been waiting for. Otherwise a lot of delicious Vangelisness happening in the tracks. I heart it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlemflolia Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 the boys drizzled their knobs in thick lush slippery synth pads, penetrating and allowing the genre of idm for decades to come, releasing the urdge to dance brainingly, not only with the legs but with the mind, expanded by the oscillations to tubescent proportions, and yet the desire to reach the climax is abated by the desire to obtain Sign 2, Green Version. when its coming to this release, less is more 2 minutes ago, Silent Member said: I was not shitting on watmm if I came off like that, reviewers who make their living from writing nonsense on the other hand, not so impressed by them.
