Hope they are just trolling us with the t-shirt designs. 

This is soooo good, perfect sister album to sign

I don't know about you lot but I find the sparseness of tracks like ecol4 pretty mindblowing in its own way

Oh hell yeah boys, what a great surprise today!

This is an excellent counterpart to Sign, still accessible but definitely jammier and weirder.

And fucking lol at Sign Plus --> Sean pls

from 10:00 on in ecol4 is badonkadonk as fuck, can't wait to take a drive with this one

Fingers crossed for blue, indigo and violet soon

Ok so going off the theory that these are collectively considered their 14th album... what exactly were the 12th and 13th? Exai was 11. But nts, live sets, elseq etc don’t have LP catalogue numbers right? 
 

doesn’t rlly matter to me I’m just wondering 

Autechre - SIGN WARP329 ... 3+2+9 = 14
Autechre - PLUS WARP338 ... 3+3+8 = 14

Autechre - elseq 1-5 WARP512
Autechre - NTS Sessions WARP364 ... 3+6+4 = 13

Maybe next time around. For now, we have the two new albums promised. And this second one arrived available for sale not long after the first arrived in my mailbox, maybe a week. I call that spoiling us fans and thanking us for our dedication/obsession/whatever you want to call it

Plus is hip-hop, if we see hip-hop as a deeply rooted system of growth and language and construction, so pervasive that it can be felt more easily than seen. It is not necessarily helpful to say that Plus is hip-hop, but it is also true and confusing.

marhide reminds me of actress. 

I love the whole thing, very alien sounding. But X4 through TM1 is just next level, what a trip. Love the way the album ends too. I think both Sign and Plus have 2 of my favorite Ae closers. What a treat.

Regardless of whether you like PLUS or not, it does make a very compelling contrast to SIGN. Maybe reordering the tracks from both albums into a playlist would be a pretty cool experience.

Off topic: I still can't understand how AE can put out two albums in the space of a month, BOC can't put out a single fucking track in seven years. It's gonna be the same as TH - they set themselves up to fail by making the wait too long and consequently giving fans unrealistic expectations.

I'm off to make my PLUSIGN playlist.

pleasantly surprised by SIGN and actually even more annoyed by the lack of BoC.  I've already tried to accept, over the past 15 years, that we'll never hear the pre-Twoism stuff but seriously why are they not releasing any new music by this point?  I know that artists don't have an 'obligation' to their fans but when you look at Aphex's soundcloud or Ae's release schedule, I dunno . . . they could at least communicate with the fans, or something?  I wouldn't even mind if they just explained the gap

After hearing samples of PLUS I finally understand SIGN!

It's an obvious two-parter! They complement each other perfectly.
