What do we expect now from AE?

Sign and Plus took a different direction from the heavy NTS/Onesix black hole! 

What way will they go now? 


 

It does kind of feel like they are returning back from deep space, in a way. It will be a left turn, whatever it is.

Acoustic sessions where they play and sing their greatest hits unplugged.

A tour of the late night talkshow scene.

Signature spray cans, "sprAE cAEns".

CBD oiltechre.

Custom hairpieces and rugs.

they'll merge with boc

My wish would be a run of EPs, each with 4 tracks. One tune being ambient, one being almost for the dance floor, one being experimental and the last one being industrial noisy.

Wanna hear the new live set plyz 

my guess is they'll play a few festivals and then release a follow-up to SIGN & PLUS

I expect nothing short of an album to restore world peace and prosperity.

When illuminatis, criminals and 1% hear it, the music will bring them to face the Thruth, they will brake down on their knees, cry inconsolably and ask for forgiveness. They will instantly give away all possessions and power, abdicate, and start living on the streets in ragged clothes and dirty faces in an effort to redeem themselves for their wrongdoings, crime against humanity and injustice. Even if you meet them, and forgive them, they will not believe you, and go out of their way to express (cry more) how unbearably sorry they are. Some will even offer suicide. But their redemption lies not in such feeble escapes. They know it. The only way is to wander the world and help any injustice and uproot malice with no pay or gratitude. This Ae album will be played every morning on radios, humanity will mend their ways, the aliens will look upon us from heaven and smile approvingly. Rob and Sean will ascend to become the Star Childs (like Bowman in Space Odyssey). The dark matter will disappear, the universe will stop expanding, and become warm and hospitable. Ancient gods will again smile upon us.

geil musics: first live, then recorded.

For once, an IDM record. One that'll make Pitchfork implode.

Gotta be something unlike SIGN PLUS, if we judge by previous conduct

i honestly wouldn't be mad if they went on hiatus or just stopped entirely

we've been given SO much since elseq, over the last five or so years, and it's all been of the absolute highest calibre. i'm still going through the live sets and NTS sessions

what can they even do now? i could see more archival releases like warp tapes (the picture implies hours more music) but as far as brand new music goes, idk man

It Doesn't Matter™

Doubt they will stop. I think they will keep going, as will Aphex etc. It’s what keeps them ticking over both mentally and physically.

would like it if someone offered them a good fit for a movie score. would be interesting to hear their creations applied to visual medium and storytelling. 

some kind of syfy or experimental film thing but it's probably not their bag ya know.. but never say never. 

i think a 1 hour album of uptempo dancefloor head spinning jams would be a gift. 

it's useless to try to predict what Ae will do. wouldn't mind if they unloaded some of these kinds of jams on us. whatever they do.. i'm up for it. 

From interviews and AAA etc we now know that everything we hear from them is usually already a couple years old by the time it's released innit?  Between that and the fact they've invested years into building the System (and surely we've only heard a fraction of what it's capable of, or even of what they've made with it so far) I see no reason to suspect they would stop now. Unless the pandemic got them down? I know the past 2 years have made plenty of us question why bother going on with anything. But they're not melodramatic types, and the work they do is plenty well suited for lockdown lifestyle, so actually I would imagine they probably had more time than ever to work on stuff. Not sure where they're at with family life and stuff cause I guess that can get in the way too. But if nothing else we know the live set exists and is surely going to be magnificent. Archival jam recordings, new live set, new tracks developed over this last couple of years...   

But yeah I think the only reason people wonder "will they quit?" is because you can ask that about any artist at any time... there's no indication I can see that they would tho. And even if they do, there's a ton of unheard stuff we would hopefully get to hear. Or they can just turn on the System and leave it running and let it play forever. 

They're not the types to look at what they've done and say, "Well, we probably can't top that". SIGN has this grandiosity that might have people thinking that way, but I doubt Ron & Steve see it like that, because they're always looking ahead and always creating.
