Autechre - PLUS 20.11.20

7FM is awesome. great Fol3-style "i'm falling down this huge-ass tunnel" vibes, and then the beat is so rich and keeps it anchored in a really satisfying way.

Looks like 7FM is getting lots of love now!! 

Vinyl pre-order sold out.

I guess there will be a re-press after release date, same like with SIGN.

just got my dispatch note from bleep

It's kinda hard to capture the colors but it looks nice irl. The inner sleeves are surprisingly sort of... metallic?

Love that cabinet.

That's just IKEA stuff   I only assembled the centre a bit differently and added the LED strip

Actually I have to backpedal a bit on my comments about artwork not mattering at all - if I had a cool cabinet like that I’d definitely enjoy displaying my vinyl artwork and switching it out from time to time!

Havent actually returned to this since it's digital release. Idk why...

When got and listened to SIGN I was like "this is cool" but wasn't totally sold until about 5 to 6 listens. Then I went to get my tumor and right kidney removed. When I came home I realized that they released PLUS. Listened to it and was immediately like "THIS IS MY JAMS!"

I was gonna mock you in a childish way for not liking SIGN immediately, but you got a kidney removed to get rid of cancer? That's rough mate and I hope you will be alright and it was just a temporary disturbance of the usual business in your system. Fuck uncontrolled cell division activity. And yes, PLUS is the epitome of human existence & creativity

Seconded, hope you good QBLA.

At first listen to PLUS I was like aw yeah. This is what I want.

A bit further along the line I can't help (like many here it seems) but feel like SIGN hangs much better as an "album", it's much more of a piece. But now I'm thinking that it may just be a matter of pacing/track sequencing. Like there's a bunch of short tracks to kick off, then 2 epics broken by one short track in the middle followed by a bunch of SIGN offcuts then a final epic. Feel like there's a puzzle there to take it apart and put it back together in a way that flows better as a piece. Feels a bit sacrilegious tho. Still I might have a go.

yes, @QBLA i hope you're mending well!

Thanks guys! Not quite cancer free, but I'm getting there.

I do like SIGN. I'm just used to the more abrasive side of AE from the past like 7 years. But I love the direction of SIGN after each listen.

So I had a dick around with the tracklist last night, ended up with:

1. DekDre Scap B

2. ecol4

3. 7FM ic

4. ii pre esc

5. lux 106 mod

6. marhide

7. X4

8. esle 0

9. TM1 open

I don't usually change tracklists, feel a bit presumptuous tbh. But I listened this morning and this worked well for me.

P.S. ecol4 has everything I could ever want in one track.
